Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!
At Cherrydale Primary School, we are committed to ensuring every student feels safe, respected, and supported in our school community. We understand that when concerns about bullying or other unexpected behavior arise, you may have questions about how these situations are addressed.
To assist in providing clarity, we would like to share helpful resources from our district's website including a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section that outlines our process for handling concerns, how we support students, and what you can expect when a report is made.
We truly value your partnership in fostering a positive environment for all of our students. If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at (253) 983-2500.
Warm Regards,
Christine Firth, Principal

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
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 new Top Dog David Stailey, dad to Finn in 2nd grade. I know he greatly appreciates our currently active D.O.G.S. and is looking forward to signing up more here at Cherrydale.
