Weekly "Newsletter" From Mrs. Chambless 
13 1/2 Days Left of 3rd Grade!! But who's counting? We have loved this year together so much, and I can't believe our time is coming to a close. 
 
We are coming up on our end of year testing windows. Please make sure that your student is coming to school on these testing dates. You can see these below under Upcoming Dates. We are so excited to go to Skate City in Littleton this year for their STEM presentation. We will be leaving AVA around 9:20am and returning to AVA around 2pm. Parents are more than welcome to meet us there and skate with us! If you'd like to chaperone, please email me to join the lottery! I will let you know ASAP about who has been chosen to join us! Click HERE to pay and give permission for your student to join us at Skate City! 
 
Mrs. Stump and I are looking for donations and volunteers to help run a Colonial Day on the last Friday of the year! Please look for an email coming from us early this week! If you would like to sign-up to volunteer or donate items, please CLICK HERE. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

  • Parents please connect to our Class Dojo HERE - this is how to monitor your students behavior (positive and negative)
  • Please send your student to school with a filled water bottle as well as a couple healthy snacks for the day. Reminder that we are a nut-free classroom. 
  • Colorado weather changes hourly so please pack your student appropriate attire for the day.

Meet Mrs. Chambless

I am in my 16th year teaching, seventh year at AVA! LOVE it here!  I have taught kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd. I am a Colorado native and love being with my family. My husband, Matt, works as a specialist for Douglas County School District... we are a teaching family!  I have a 11th grader, Allikaye, and twins in fifth grade, Kai and Cambria. We are a busy family and like it that way! We are out playing sports, hiking, traveling, camping, and love being outdoors... Colorado living... especially living in the pines in Larkspur! I love coffee, reading, rainbow colors, smiley faces, and donuts! This is going to be a great year! Thank you for sharing your sweet children with me!!
