Mrs. Cato's Counseling Corner

Hello, I am so happy you are here!

Chaparral Elementary is a unified community dedicated to building an environment that promotes the development of the whole child as a successful individual through Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Compassion, and Citizenship. As a California Gold Ribbon School, Chaparral's motto, "C.U.B.S.: A Community Unified Builds Success," serves as a constant reminder that by working together as a unified community, we can ensure the success of our students.

Congratulations to the Chaparral Cubs for an amazing 2023 Kindness Week! Our students created a culture of kindness on our campus towards peers, staff, and the community during the Great Kindness Challenge to help make Chaparral a Kindness Certified School two years in a row!
