More First Week Fun at Chapman!

Mrs. Meeks’ first grade class made their very own worry stones out of clay after reading Alma and the Worry Stone! 💛


Today, in Mrs. Girogi's and Ms. Reece's class our 4th grade Chargers put their teamwork and communication skills to the test with a fun “Saving Fred” activity! 🛟
Students had to work together, communicate, and problem-solve to save Fred without using their hands. It was a fun way to practice cooperation, creative thinking, and working as a team! ❤️💙
Way to work together, Chargers!










Girl Scouts Information

This morning, our Chargers kicked off the new school year with our PBIS rotations! ⚡️ They learned and reviewed the expectations and rules throughout our school and practiced what it looks like to be respectful, responsible, and ready to learn.
They’re already doing such a great job meeting our expectations, and we couldn’t be more proud of them! 💙💛 Way to go, Chargers!




The front drop-off loop is sure to pick up with traffic starting tomorrow! Pack your patience, and don’t forget those cute kids, too! 😄 A smooth arrival helps keep our students safe and gets everyone inside and ready for a great day of learning. Please follow the safety guidelines below, and thank you for helping us keep that loop moving!

What a phenomenal first day at Chapman! From excited smiles and classroom fun to reconnecting with friends and settling into new routines, our Chargers jumped right into the 2026-27 school year. 🥹 Here’s just a little peek at Day ONE!

A little Chapman staffing update! 💙⚡
You may remember that we recently introduced Mrs. Lesinski as our new building sub… and we are excited to share that she will now be joining Chapman in a new role as our Upper Elementary CI Teacher!
Mrs. Lesinski is already a familiar face to many in our Chapman community. She spent 12 weeks in the classroom last spring as a long-term substitute, building relationships with students, learning classroom routines, and quickly becoming part of the team.
Please help us congratulate Mrs. Lesinski on her new role and officially welcome her to the Chapman teaching team! We are so excited to have her continuing her Chapman story with us. ⚡💙

We are so excited to welcome Ms. Montry to the Chapman family! 💗
Ms. Montry is joining us as a Speech-Language Pathologist and brings two years of school-based experience with her. She is a proud GSD alum and is looking forward to supporting our students along their communication journeys.
Please help us give Ms. Montry a warm welcome! 💙
