The new website, www.chesnutcharter.com , is a parent-run site, jointly managed by the PTA and Charter Council. It’s designed to contain all the information parents need on a daily basis, including things like:
· School news posted on the front page
- · Carpool, Parking, and Dismissal policy changes
- · Breaking news on how the school is handling the unexpected increase in kindergarten classes
- · Menu, bus, and weather information
- · Choices for school clubs, activities, and yearbook
- · MyLunchMoney.com account management
The site also contains school-related technical information such as:
- · Dekalb County annual school calendar
- · Archived minutes from PTA and Charter Council meetings
- · Contact list for Room Parents
- · Online copy of the Charter Contract
- · Teacher contacts, grading policy, attendance policy, dress code requirements
From the site, you can link directly to the volunteer management system, K12Ambit, used as a calendar of school events, finding volunteer opportunities at the school, tracking charter credit hours, and receiving regular weekly and one-off urgent email blasts from the school. You can also make online donations with a credit card to the PTA’s and Charter Council’s charitable organizations – used to augment facilities, training, and cultural events above and beyond what’s provided by Dekalb County. If you think the site is useful, sign up and Subscribe to receive once-a-day emails any time a news item is posted on the front page.
We hope you’ll use the website to stay involved in the life of the school!
