Dear Chapman’s Families:

Welcome back to another exciting year at Chapman’s Retreat.  I hope you have found some time to relax and have some fun and memorable moments with family and friends this summer. I am delighted to serve as your Interim Principal this year. My hope is that you and your child will find me approachable and easy to speak to and that you won't hesitate to contact me if you ever have questions, concerns, or you just want to share good news about our school or your child!!

By way of introduction, 2010-2011 marks my seventh year at Chapman’s. I have been fortunate to serve as both the School Psychologist and the Assistant Principal. On a more personal note, I have been married to Brock for 7 years and we have a wonderful son, Kane, who is already two and a half years old.

Our teachers have been busy this summer getting ready for another great year! We are dedicated to meeting the needs of each student we serve.  It is our goal to create a rich learning environment that engages all of our students. Parent involvement is a large part of our academic success and we value the emphasis our community places on education. We invite you to become involved in the school through the PTO and/or volunteering in the classrooms.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with your children. I am truly honored. On behalf of the entire staff at Chapman’s Retreat Elementary School we thank you for your support and cooperation. I am looking forward to this school year and all of the opportunities to come.

Sincerely,

Allison Hammat
