Dear CSPES Families, At Chesapeake Science Point Elementary, we are committed to providing a positive and supportive environment for all our students. I want to take a moment to remind everyone that if you have concerns or complaints regarding something happening with your child, we encourage you to reach out directly to us. Gossiping with other parents or sharing concerns in an informal setting can often lead to misunderstandings, and most importantly, it doesn't help us address the issues that matter to you and your child. Open communication is key, and we are here to listen and to support. Please don’t hesitate to contact me or any member of our staff with your concerns so we can work together to find a solution. We cannot address what we are not made aware of, and your feedback is vital to ensuring we can create the best experience possible for your child. Thank you for your cooperation and for being an important part of the CSPES community. Sincerely, Tabatha Camacho Principal, Chesapeake Science Point Elementary Tcamacho@mycsp.org
