Celebrating 100 Days Smarter!
Last Friday, Cherrydale students hit a big milestone—the 100th Day of School—and our students celebrated in the most creative way possible! Hallways were transformed into mini art galleries filled with projects inspired by the number 100. From collections of 100 colorful shapes and stickers to drawings, paintings, and posters showing 100 things students love.
Lost & Found: A Growing Legend in the Foyer
If you’ve noticed a mysterious mountain forming near the office, don’t worry—it’s not a new school addition. It’s our Lost & Found, and yes… it’s officially growing taller than some of our students.
Students and families are encouraged to stop by, take a look, and claim your lost belongings. Because if we don’t, the Lost & Found might just become the tallest thing on campus—and it already has a pretty strong lead.
We strongly recommend labeling your child’s jacket with their name to help ensure it is returned to them if misplaced.
Details on the SHSD attendance policy can be found in the SHSD Family and Student Handbook. Below is a brief summary.
Regular school attendance is necessary for mastery of the educational program provided to students of the District. Students are expected to attend all assigned classes each day. School staff will keep a record of absence and tardiness, including a call log and/or a record of excuse statements submitted by a parent/guardian or, in certain cases, students, to document a student’s excused absences.
In case of absences, parents are required to notify the school office and provide the student's name and reason for absence. The student is responsible for completing missed work. Students should notify their teacher(s) if they have a planned absence to arrange for the make-up of any lessons or assigned work that day.
