PTA Rocks!
Accessing PTA info has become easier! Everything you need is on their Cherrydale PTA page. One stop shopping with all their links for joining the PTA, volunteer sign ups, fundraising and more!
Please consider joining the Cherrydale PTA. The best part about the PTA is that you can be as involved as much or as little as you'd like or can be! We have so many volunteer opportunities throughout the year, it's easy to get involved!
To contact the PTA, email them at CherrydalePTA@gmail.com
To get clearance so you can help with upcoming PTA events (or ANY Cherrydale events), click Volunteer at Cherrydale. Once you are cleared you can let the PTA know of your interest and availability. You MUST be a CLEARED volunteer to help with any events or to participate in anything on the Cherrydale Campus.
Our Watch Dads Of Great Students are the BEST!
Students are so excited when their family member(s) come to volunteer!
