Team Chesterfield families,
As we close out the 2019-20 school year, I congratulate each of you for successfully navigating what easily
was the most unusual time of my 30-plus years in education. Had you asked me after Winter Break how many
school days we would miss this year, I might have guessed two or three snow days. Never would I have
imagined we would have missed three months due to a disease few knew about.
Since in-person, onsite teaching stopped in mid-March, Team Chesterfield staff members have worked
diligently to reinvent the school day. Developing and implementing a long-distance learning plan that
supported nearly 63,000 students was a complex task. As our School Board noted earlier, this is not public
education as it has ever been known before. Simply put, there is no easy way to replicate the outstanding face-
to-face instruction that our students receive daily when they are in our classrooms.
Nonetheless, we worked together to provide students with authentic learning opportunities while schools were
closed. As we end Phase 1 of our continuity of learning initiative, we look forward to sharing plans about
summer learning opportunities, supplemental reviews of instructional materials at the beginning of the 2020-21
school year and after-school remediation available during the coming year.
I want to thank our educators for continuing to go above and beyond during this time period. They have
provided engaging lessons, checked in on students throughout, and conferenced with parents to provide
necessary support. They truly are game changers.
I also want to thank you, our Team Chesterfield families, for being so supportive as well. When you sent your
children to us last September, the world was normal. Since then, our lives have been interrupted, our routines
have been turned upside down, and you have been thrust into a teaching role for which you did not sign up.
During the last two weeks of school, we want to provide students with one last set of engaging learning
experiences. They are designed to be fun and stress-free, for students and their families. We hope you will
encourage your student to complete these assignments, and to take advantage of the many reading
opportunities and other learning resources (https://sites.google.com/ccpsnet.net/ccps-parent-resources/home)
that we have made available online.
Thank you again for being such wonderfully supportive partners during this difficult time! Best wishes for a
fun-filled summer break. We look forward to welcoming our students back as quickly as we can.
Sincerely,
Mervin B. Daugherty, Ed.D.

Estimadas familias de Chesterfield:
Al cerrar el año escolar 2019-20, felicito a cada uno de ustedes por transitar con éxito lo que sin dudas fue el
momento más inusual de mis más de 30 años en la educación. Si me hubieran preguntado después de las
vacaciones de invierno cuántos días de clases perderíamos este año, habría supuesto dos o tres días de nieve.
Nunca hubiera imaginado que perderíamos tres meses debido a una enfermedad que pocos conocían.
Desde que la enseñanza en persona dejó de impartirse a mediados de marzo, el personal del Equipo de
Chesterfield ha trabajado diligentemente para reinventar la jornada escolar. Desarrollar e implementar un plan
de aprendizaje a distancia que apoyara a casi 63,000 estudiantes fue una tarea compleja. Como nuestra Junta
Escolar señaló anteriormente, esta no es la educación pública tal como se la conocía. En pocas palabras, no hay
una manera fácil de replicar la excelente instrucción cara a cara que nuestros estudiantes reciben diariamente
cuando están en nuestras aulas.
Sin embargo, trabajamos juntos para proporcionar a los estudiantes auténticas oportunidades de aprendizaje
mientras las escuelas estaban cerradas. Al finalizar la Fase 1 de nuestra iniciativa de continuidad del
aprendizaje, esperamos compartir los planes sobre las oportunidades de aprendizaje en el verano, las revisiones
suplementarias de los materiales de instrucción al comienzo del año escolar 2020-21 y la recuperación después
de clases disponible durante el próximo año.
Quiero agradecer a nuestros educadores por continuar yendo más allá durante este período de tiempo. Han
proporcionado lecciones atractivas, han controlado a los estudiantes durante todo el proceso y han hablado con
los padres para proporcionar el apoyo necesario. Ellos verdaderamente fueron revolucionarios.
También quiero agradecerles a ustedes, nuestras familias del Equipo de Chesterfield, por ser tan comprensivos
también. Cuando nos enviaron a sus hijos en septiembre pasado, el mundo era normal. Desde entonces,
nuestras vidas se vieron interrumpidas, nuestras rutinas se han puesto patas arriba, y ustedes han sido
empujados a un rol de enseñanza para el cual no se inscribieron.
Durante las dos últimas semanas de clases, queremos proporcionar a los estudiantes una última serie de
experiencias de aprendizaje atractivas. Están diseñadas para ser divertidas y libres de estrés, para los
estudiantes y sus familias. Esperamos que anime a su hijo a completar estas tareas y aprovechar las diversas
oportunidades de lectura y otros recursos de aprendizaje (https://sites.google.com/ccpsnet.net/ccps-parent-
resources/home) que tenemos disponible en línea.
¡Gracias nuevamente por ser compañeros de apoyo tan maravillosos durante este difícil momento! Mis mejores
deseos para unas vacaciones de verano llenas de diversión. Esperamos recibir a nuestros estudiantes tan pronto
como podamos.
Cordialmente,
Dr. Merv Daugherty

Field Day is one tradition many schools observe at the end of the school year. It is an occasion
for students to enjoy time with their peers and compete in some friendly games and events. We
encourage students and their families to design their own At-Home-Field Day by selecting from
these activities. Of course, add in your own family favorites. Or, just try these activities in order

Total of Ten (Number cards on following pages)
Goal: To make as many combinations of ten as possible with the cards available
Shuffle and place cards face down in a stack. On your turn, draw one card and place it in a line
of cards shared with your partner. Take any cards that will make a sum of 10. State the sum
before taking the cards. (For example, 7 and 3 make 10.) On your turn, continue to add a card to
the shared line. When there are no more cards or ways to make, ten, the player with more cards
wins. When you finish playing, make a list of all of the ways to make ten.
Domino Donuts (Domino cards on following pages)
Goal: To find dominoes with combinations of the target number
Using the work mat below, have students find combinations on different dominoes that equal
to the target number.

Chesterfield County Public Schools 37Reading is a simple and enjoyable way for students to boost their brainpower, so Chesterfield
County Public Schools encourages elementary school students to read during summer vacation.
Research shows that what students read is less important than how much they read. A study by
Barbara Heyns found that children who read at least six books during the summer maintained
or improved their reading skills, while students who did not read saw their skills slip by as
much as an entire grade level.
Summer reading is more about practicing the enjoyable habit of reading than it is about
challenging students academically.
Many organizations compile lists to make it easy for students and their parents to self-select
books for summer reading. Chesterfield County Public Schools does not endorse any specific
titles on the lists. Not all parents may consider all of the books on these sites to be appropriate,
so parents are encouraged to review the books to determine which books are appropriate for
their children or visit a county library to speak with a librarian. Check out the links below for
summer reading resources and lists.
Each school will have its own summer reading plan developed in addition to the resources
listed here. Please check your student’s school website for more information.
