We are proud to announce that 100% of our schools are now officially Project ADAM Heart Safe Schools! ❤️

Chesapeake is only the 11th school district in Virginia to earn this achievement. Since our first designation at Indian River High School in 2024, our schools have expanded AED access, established trained Cardiac Emergency Response Teams, and run hands-on drills district-wide. 👏

We would like to thank Shannon Filer from our Office of Health Services, our incredible school nurses, the Project ADAM team, and our local EMS response team for their hard work and dedication to make this happen. ❤️ #CPSCelebrates

Truit Intermediate Staff celebrates Heart Safe Achievement

In celebration of Virginia Farm to School Week, Triple-R Ranch hosted “Farm Day,” where first grade students participated in a day of learning about the process of getting healthy and homegrown food from farm to school.

Students also took hayrides, picked pumpkins, met farm animals, and learned how crops grow. The day was well organized, informative, and most of all fun! What an excellent way to celebrate Farm to School Week. 🚜🍎🎃

Student leadership is an important part of building strong schools and strong communities.💪
Earlier today, SCA members from all seven of our high schools gathered at the School Administration Building for SCA Citywide. As they prepare for the year ahead, students focused on leadership strategies, collaboration, and ways they can make a difference in their schools. We’re excited to see these student leaders put their ideas into action throughout the school year!
