Cherrydale Primary School

Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!

We have a fun and busy week ahead at Cherrydale! Picture Day is coming up on Monday, September 15th. We always enjoy seeing our students posing for pictures with their brightest smiles and picture-ready attire!

We are also thrilled to welcome our newest learners to Cherrydale. Our Transition to Kindergarten students will be starting on Monday, September 15th. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to continue this program and we cannot wait to have our TK students join our Cherrydale school community!

As we kick off the school year, please take a moment to review the Parent/Student Handbook with your child. Once reviewed, kindly log into ParentSquare and acknowledge that you've read and understood its contents.

Thank you for your partnership. We are looking forward to a wonderful week ahead!

Warm Regards,

Christine Firth, Principal

You MUST be a CLEARED volunteer to help with any events or to participate in anything on the Cherrydale Campus.

To get clearance so you can help with upcoming PTA events (or ANY Cherrydale events), click Volunteer at Cherrydale. The process can take up to 2 weeks. Once you are cleared you can let the PTA know of your interest and availability.

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

Our Watch Dads Of Great Students are the BEST! Students are so excited when their family member(s) come to volunteer (must be cleared volunteer)!

Meet our Top Dog David Stailey, dad to Finn in 3nd grade. I know he greatly appreciates our currently active D.O.G.S. and is looking forward to signing up more here at Cherrydale. See the attachment below from Mr. Stailey for more information!

As of this year, all Cherrydale students will have the opportunity to have one breakfast and one lunch for free every day! If a student chooses a second entrée or beverage, it will be charged to student’s account.

We make every effort to return items that have names in them. To maximize the likelihood of getting lost items back when they are left on the playground, please make sure your student's belongings are clearly marked.
