    Our Vision Statement

    Chester Elementary School is a nurturing, respectful environment where students are engaged in authentic and inspired learning, supported by a community that diligently safeguards and promotes excellence.

    Notice from New York State:
    The current economic situation is impacting the federal nutrition programs. More families may qualify for free or reduced priced meals due to reduced work hours, or lack of employment as businesses have closed. Families may apply at any time for free/reduced lunch. Applications can be obtained from the main offices at either the Academy or Elementary school, or by calling 469-2231 extension 3312.

    The New York State Education Department has many resources for families on the engageny.org website.  Below are just a few links for your information.
