This Friday, November 7, students who walk/ bike/ scoot/ bus to school receive raffle tickets upon arrival at school. Children who pick up trash that they find along the way get extra raffle tickets! Three winners will be announced in school, and the lucky winners will go home with a gift certificate to Longford's! 

We need parent volunteers to assist in handing out raffle tickets to the students as they arrive! If you are interested in volunteering to help hand out raffle tickets from 8:10-8:45 am, please sign up here!

Chatsworth celebrates Earth Friendly Friday on the first Friday of every month!

Hosted with LMCCC, this special evening for parents of preschool & elementary kids will feature psychologists Dr. Alan Dienstag & Dr. Katie Sawyer. Together we’ll explore:

• How screens shape childhood development

• How to define your family’s tech values—and stick to them

• Tools to strengthen resilience in kids and parents.

This is about reclaiming your authority, defending your values, and building confidence in the digital age. The great parental reset begins now! Join us as we set the stage for meaningful collective action.

There is no school on Tuesday, November 4 due to Superintendent’s Conference Day.

As has been a tradition for many decades, we look forward to our annual Chatsworth Halloween Parade, which will take place on Friday, October 31st. The 5th graders will lead the parade and begin walking at 2:00 p.m. All students, grades K through 5 will march around the building. The parade will begin on the Forest Park Avenue side of the school and students will continue to Chatsworth Avenue, then Addison Street, turning on to Larchmont Avenue, and returning to Forest Park Avenue to reenter the building. We look forward to seeing your smiles as you line up around the school to cheer us on as we march. Feel free to take as many photographs as you would like, but no family members will be allowed onto school grounds during the parade.  Students will NOT be dismissed from the parade and will return back to their classrooms. Parents can enter the school grounds at 2:55 pm for a regular dismissal.  

Please make a note of the following costume guidelines:

• Any type of weapon is prohibited. 

• Face masks are strictly prohibited. 

• Costumes must go on OVER clothing.

• Please do not send any face paint or makeup that must be applied in school. 

• Please avoid gory costumes that may scare other children. 

• Students should be able to put their costumes on independently (with minimal assistance). They may need to practice this at home beforehand. 

• Please do NOT send children to school wearing their costumes.
