A Word From Cheltenham Leadership

Dear Cheltenham Families,

Thank you all for a successful first trimester! So many great things have been happening at Cheltenham this year. A big highlight from the past month was our Fall Festival. Our superheroes had a blast dressing up in their costumes, decorating pumpkins, playing games in the gym and trick-or-treating. Thank you all for coming out to celebrate with us!

As we head into the holiday season, we want to remind you prioritize your superhero's attendance. Research shows that students who miss even as little as 5% of school still fall behind their peers. With the upcoming holiday breaks, we encourage you to plan family activities around our school calendar to ensure your child is present in school all day, every day.

We hope you have a restful break next week!

Warmly,

The Cheltenham Leadership Team
