We have completed one month of school for the 2026-2027 school year! Learning Sparks is the supplement to the monthly Chaparral Heat Newsletter that provides information and support for parents on how to support your child’s learning and success at home. Each edition of Learning Sparks includes three main categories: MTSS-B Support at Home, Reading Recommended Support at Home, and Math Recommended Support at Home.  Check the Chaparral Heat school website calendar and the Upcoming Events Page below for all upcoming events.

MTSS-B (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for Behavior) is a schoolwide systems approach that establishes a positive student culture and provides individualized behavior supports to create a safe, effective learning environment for all students. At Chaparral, the school rules are BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, and BE RESPONSIBLE. Students are also taught and informed of the GOLDEN RULE – “TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.” MTSS-B is practiced and implemented throughout the school day and year, where the staff does the following:

·        Constantly teach and refer to our school-wide expectations.

·        Provide students with more praise than correction.

·        Talk to students with respect using a positive voice tone.

·        Actively engage everyone in the class during instruction.

·        Use pre-correcting, prompting, and redirecting as we teach.

·        Look for the positive first and provide positive, immediate, frequent, and explicit feedback.

As parents, you can support these expectations at home.  Please refer to the Chaparral (Parent) Handbook found in the school website or by clicking on the provided link for the parent handbook to see more information on MTSS-B at Chaparral: www.chino.k12.ca.us/chaparral
