Congratulations to our 2024 Chester Yellowjacket baseball team. Regional Champs, heading to STATE!!!!!
DON'T FORGET:
Parents, please remember to fill out and return registration packets this week. Students will not be permitted to start school next school year if the paperwork has not been returned.
If you are a parent/guardian of a Chester ISD student, please complete the survey below (by clicking the link), an essential part of our Title I requirements. Your feedback is invaluable, and the survey will only take a few moments of your time. Thank you for your support and involvement in our school community.

“Chester ISD will have a two hour delay tomorrow, May 17. This will allow us to evaluate roads safely with washouts, water on the road, and debris that may have fallen. Thank you for your patience but our staff and student safety is a priority.”
ATTENTION CURRENT 8th GRADE PARENTS: REQUIRED MEETING
May 20th
ATTENTION PARENTS: Registration packets for the 24-25 school year are being sent home with students today. All students who will be attending Chester ISD for the 24-25 school year are required to complete registration packets prior to the first day of school on August 7th, 2024. A child will not be enrolled to attend, will not receive a schedule, and will not be picked up by buses or allowed to be dropped off until registration packets are completed and turned in to the High School office. Please fill these out and send them back by May 22, 2024.
Chester ISD will not have school today, May 13th. We have been in contact with Entergy. They will not have power on at the school by 10 a.m. and do not have an ETA of when we will. The creeks are tough for them to navigate. We are sorry for the inconvenience and we will see all of you tomorrow.

ELEMENTARY FIELD DAY is tomorrow, May 8th!! Don't forget sunscreen, towels, water, and change of clothes. PTO will provide 1 drink and 1 popsicle through the concession stand. Parents may attend, but only students that are enrolled in Chester ISD will be allowed to participate.
NOTE FROM MS. BECKI for next school year! **Incoming 7th graders are required to have a Meningitis vaccine and a Tdap booster! Sometimes these vaccines are given at 11 year old well-child checkups so if you are unsure if your student has already had it, call the Dr office to verify, and send us the updated record. **Incoming Pre-K and all new students are required to be up to date on all vaccines and bring immunization records to enroll. Immunization records can be sent from the Dr office to Becki Byrd @ 936-969-3079 or email beckib@chesterisd.com. STUDENTS WITH DOCUMENTED ALLERGIES/ASTHMA/SEIZURES All action plans must be updated for the new school year and brought to the school with required meds (Rx in date) BEFORE school starts in August. This is a good reminder to make those appointments now so you are not scrambling the week before school starts! Call me if you have any questions! 💜Becki
There will be no Saturday school tomorrow, May 4th.
In the best interest of our district, community, and surrounding areas, that continues to be impacted by this weather event, we will remain closed through Friday, May 3, 2024. Roadways are unpredictable at this time with water continuing to rise in certain places and the safety of our staff who commutes into work is a part of the decision making as well. Please be safe.
We will resume regular class schedules on Monday, May 6, 2024.
Regional Quarterfinal Win!!!!! Next game will be against Brookeland--time and date will be announced later!! 💜🐝🥎💛 Let's Go Lady Jackets!!
Good evening. With predicted weather over night, Chester ISD will have a delayed start at 10:00 a.m. This will allow us to evaluate the overnight rain and future weather to make a decision on coming to school. Busses will run two hours behind. A decision and call out will be made as early as possible and sent out through our all call communications. If no call is made then school will begin at 10:00 a.m.
Bi-District Champs!! Congrats to Coach Butter for his 100th win!! Go Jackets! 🐝⚾️
Good morning. Due to pending weather and discussions with Tyler county emergency management and area schools we will be dismissing at 9:45 am. Initially we thought the second wave would be later in the afternoon. Chester ISD tries to stay in line with near districts and weather can change. Students safety comes first in our decisions. Thank you for cooperating and working with us.
