Chestatee Elementary The OFFICIAL page of Chestatee ES, located in Gainesville, GA! Mr. S. M. Rosser was the first principal of the school.

Chestatee Elementary is named after the former Chestatee School, which opened in 1931 on five acres in north Forsyth County. The original Chestatee School was built with funds from both the Board of Education and the Chestatee community. In 1939, Crossroads, Hopewell and Pleasant Grove schools consolidated with Chestatee. The school received a gymnasium and cafeteria soon after that. In 1967, the Chestatee High School was consolidated into the Forsyth County High School, now Forsyth Central High School. The school received numerous renovations in 1973, including classrooms, a library, office, and a modern cafeteria. Since that time, the school has had five renovations and improvements. Originally located near the Chestatee River, which is now a part of Lake Lanier, Chestatee is Indian for “fire hunters.”

On Friday before Fall Break, we recognized Florangel Platas, our Head Custodian, as Chestatee's FCS Playmaker of the Year! 🏆

Florangel's dedication, positive attitude, and commitment to our students, staff, and school shine through in everything she does. Whether she is preparing our building for a busy day, responding to unexpected needs, or helping keep Chestatee looking its best, she consistently goes above and beyond. We are grateful for the care she puts into our school each day and are thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved recognition.

PICTURE DAY IS APPROACHING!

ATTENTION FAMILIES!

School picture day is on Thursday, October 8. School portraits will be taken by BPI Photography and are a great way to preserve your child’s school memories. These pictures also serve as a school fundraiser, so please remember to participate.

Order forms may be sent home with your student, but for those who wish to order online using a debit or credit card, click our school’s prepay link below to order:

Online Prepay Purchase / Credit Cards:

https://bpiphotography.net/view-order-photos/

Cash or Check (with an order form, collected by a BPI photographer)

a. ONLY accepted on Picture Day

b. Cash - Exact Change only

c. Checks made payable to: BPI Photography

Pre-Orders are available through picture day, and those packages will deliver back to the school for your child to bring home. You CAN still order pictures after picture day all-year long, but post-picture day orders ship directly home, so there will be a residential shipping charge. BPI guarantees 100% satisfaction. If you are unsatisfied, upon return of your original package, you may receive a full refund. You may also have your student retake their picture on makeup day and BPI will reorder that package for you.


Visit our photographer's website at www.bpiphotography.net or call (866) 363-6936 with questions. As always, thank you for your continued support!
