Welcome to
Chatfield Elementary School
You are your child's first and most important teacher.
Parents are valued partners at Chatfield Elementary, where we believe successful learning is best achieved through collaborative partnerships with parents and families. Located 20 miles from Rochester, Chatfield Elementary is a vibrant learning community committed to nurturing and challenging young minds in an atmosphere that fosters lifelong commitment to learning. The school embraces a developmental approach that recognizes that children learn at different rates during their early school years. At CES, children are truly appreciated for their individual strengths and contributions to the classroom.
Chatfield Elementary School takes great pride in the elementary school experience it can offer students.
