News and events for Oct. 1-5, 2018
Donor Drive Extended Until Tomorrow!
Thank you to all the families who have supported our school so far.  Your donations go a long way in helping to make Chaparral the special place that it is.  We can’t do it without your support. Our goal every year is 100% participation and we are well on our way—we are at 80% participation. The final day to submit donations, of any amount, that will count toward your class participation percentage is TOMORROW Monday, Oct 1. The PFC will throw a Pizza and Ice Cream party for every class that gets 100% participation. ANY DONATION AMOUNT COUNTS TOWARD PARTICIPATION PERCENTAGE! Please make your donations through SchoolPay.com or submit your donation to the Main Office or PFC Office in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name and teacher name.  Any donation without a child’s name and teacher will not count toward the class percentage but will be gladly accepted.
Important Change in Absence Policy!
Chaparral has a new procedure for reporting absences. The voicemail option is no longer available. Parents will now need to email cesattendance@lvusd.org to report their child's absence. Please include your child's name, teacher's name, date(s) of the absence and reason. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the office. Thank you!
PFC Meeting Reminder:
Online Auction Kickoff Meeting Immediately Following the PFC Meeting
Please join us Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 8:15 a.m., in the MPR. We will be joined by City Council Members David Shapiro and Alicia Weintraub who will update us on current events and will be available for questions. This a great opportunity to find out about what’s going on locally and ask any city related questions you may have. See you there!

It's hard to believe, but our 12th Annual Chaparral PFC Online Auction is fewer than six months away! The online auction is our second biggest fundraiser of the year and last year it raised $94,000!

The Auction Committee is seeking volunteers for the 2019 auction. There is a job for everyone no matter how much or little time you can contribute. Interested in learning more? Please join Allyson Watson for a brief informational meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 3 immediately following the PFC meeting in the MPR. If you can't attend, but would still like information or to volunteer, please e-mail Allyson Watson at allysons417@yahoo.com .

Ralphs Reward Card Program and Raffle

This is your last chance to enter the September raffle!  Link your Rewards Club Card to Chaparral PFC and send a screenshot of your Ralphs receipt or a confirmation email from Ralphs to chaparralcommunity@gmail.com showing us that you've successfully linked your card to Chaparral PFC to be entered into the raffle! The raffle winner for the month of September will be announced in the Oct. 7 Cub Corner. Ralphs donates a certain percentage back to Chaparral from your everyday purchases! That's free money for our school at no cost to you. 
If you linked your card to our school last year in September 2017 , then your enrollment has rolled over and you do not have to re-register again this year! You can always log in to your account to ensure you are still linked to Chaparral.
