Chilton ISD

All after school activities are cancelled for this afternoon.

Pirate Nation, At this time, we are not dismissing early. Forecasts show that precipitation is at 100% now and that temperatures are below freezing. Thus, I deem it too dangerous to put our buses and parents on the road, as of now, for a mandatory dismissal. At our regular 4:00 p.m. dismissal, precipitation decreases and temperatures begin to climb above freezing. At this point, I do realize that there is no solution that will satisfy everyone. For that matter, parents do have the option of picking their children up early if they choose. However, we will maintain our dismissal time and run buses when temperatures are above freezing and precipitation chances decrease. Thanks for your understanding and flexibility.

Pirate Nation, In an abundance of caution, the Chilton ISD will be on a two-hour delay tomorrow. Buses will run two hours later and school doors will open at 9:30 a.m. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

Providing an excellent education for students is a challenge that requires dedication and creativity, especially during this time of crisis. This past year has required an unusual combination of those two things from students, teachers, district staff, and our Board of Trustees. Unexpected circumstances have required adjustments and adaptability, problem solving, teamwork, and leadership. Navigating through unfamiliar waters became a daily task. The pandemic has presented monumental challenges, and a steady hand on the rudder has been absolutely necessary for the Pirate ship to continue sailing. Our district’s Board of Trustees has provided that steady leadership for Pirate Nation. Our Trustees came through when we needed them most this year, charting a course that protected our most vulnerable, while ensuring that academic progress could continue for all students. Board service is a volunteer effort. It is a critically important job that requires navigating an election and required training. It is a responsibility that takes time and careful decision-making. Our school board members are volunteers who shoulder critical responsibilities and often make difficult choices for our district. Their goal is always focused on the future success of our students. Serving as a link between the community and classroom, school board members are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools. School Board members sit through meetings, read detailed reports, listen to parents’ concerns, and engage in the hard work to ensure student success. Pirate Nation benefits from their vigilance and dedication to the community. Each January, we pause in our regular activities to say thank you to these dedicated volunteers. We appreciate their generous sharing of time and energy on behalf of our children and our communities. Join the Chilton ISD in celebrating School Board Recognition Month in January by expressing your support and gratitude to our School Board members.

Sorry for the miscommunication: Parents of current 3rd and 4th grade students should attend the meeting tonight for the D.C. trip. #My first mistake all year...lol

Good Morning Pirate Nation. As many of you know, it is a Pirate tradition that 4th and 5th grade students travel to D.C. every other year to visit our nation’s Capitol. Despite the current pandemic and political crisis, we are in the planning phase of our next trip to D.C. Parents of current 4th and 5th grade students are encouraged to attend a planning and informational meeting this evening at 6:00 p.m. in the Chilton ISD Cafeteria. The meeting will also be hosted via zoom for those that would prefer virtual attendance. The link is listed below. Please understand that Chilton ISD COVID protocol requires face coverings and temperature checks before entering a district facility. Thanks for your attendance and input as we begin this process.

Good Evening Pirate Nation. In an abundance of caution and in consideration of staff and student safety, we will close on Monday. This closure will NOT be a virtual learning day as our teachers do not have time to plan adequately to provide effective instruction for our students. Please stay safe and we look forward to resuming on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
