Welcome to Third Grade! My name is Mrs. Chavis, and I will be your child’s English Language Arts teacher this school year. I will be team-teaching with Mrs. Glass and Mrs. Williams. We look forward to working with your child and the opportunity to get to know you. Together we can make this school year a positive influence in your child’s life! A well-disciplined environment will help to ensure a successful year. Please review the school rules with your child, as we will also be going over them in class.

     The school day begins at 8:15 a.m. and ends at 3:05 p.m. Students will not be allowed to enter the building until after 7:45 a.m.  Students will not be dismissed through the front office after 2:45 p.m.  Breakfast will be at 7:45 a.m. each morning in the cafeteria. Please make an extra effort to see that your child gets plenty of rest, eats a good breakfast at home or school, and arrives on time. Research shows that this can have a positive effect on academic success, which is exactly what we want for our students!                  

     I invite you to be an active part of your child’s education. You can do this by volunteering your time and talents as a school volunteer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. You may send a note, give me a call at 706-796-4955, or get in touch with me via email. My email address is chaviar@richmond.k12.ga.us. Also, be sure to check out the Barton Chapel website https://www.rcboe.org/bartonchapel often for current information in regards to our school wide events. With your support, we can make this a productive and successful year for all of us. I look forward working with you and your child!
