Can you have chickenpox more than once?

At my children's school, teachers say that there is chickenpox going around. Apparently, there are cases of children getting sick for the second time. Is that possible? I always thought that you only get chickenpox once and that it is better to go through it as a child because adults have a harder time with this illness.
