IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

CHESTNUT HAS BECOME A CHOICE SCHOOL !

     The Board of Education decided that our school is a controlled Choice School with a special focus.  This means a controlled number of additional students may apply to attend our school.  2012-13 K-5th grade students who are zoned for Koa, Poinciana, Deerwood, Sunrise, Reedy Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Bellalago schools may wish to complete an application process to attend our school.  It is not necessary for students already living within our attendance zone to apply through this process.  All Chestnut students will be able to take full advantage of this enhanced program.

     We will continue to provide quality instruction based on each grade level’s Florida Sunshine State Learning Standards.  In addition, we will have a special focus on rigorous, enriching experiences in math, science, technology, and engineering.  Our students will be engaged in hands-on lessons and real-life, problem-based learning.  In addition to the traditional content areas, each grade level will have enrichment mini-courses to use research and technology tools, participate in various math and science labs, design and build various structures through team work and an application of their academic skills, and pursue particular areas of interest with academic theme-based and sports activities in before and/or after school Student Clubs.  

   

    We invite you to come discover more about this exciting opportunity for your children.  Chestnut is truly a great school and the future is bright for all our students!  We are excited about our enhanced program and hope you will be too!
