📢 Calling all future Chesapeake Public Schools families in the City of Chesapeake!
We are exploring the establishment of new preschool centers to meet the growing need for high-quality early childhood education. If you live in our district and have children ages 0-4 or are planning to have children, your voice is essential!
Help us plan for the future of our youngest learners by sharing your needs and priorities in our new Early Childhood Education Survey. Your input will shape these vital programs!
📋 Survey is open NOW - December 18: www.cpschools.com/surveys
