Cherrydale Primary School

Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!

As we wrap up September, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our first month of the school year. Our students are settling into their routines and adapting to the structures of school life beautifully. It has been so wonderful to see our Cheetahs growth and enthusiasm for being at school!

We're excited about the learning and experiences that October will bring. We have a host of exciting events lined up that we cannot wait to share with you. These events include our fall conferences, book fair, and our PTA Dance-a-Thon. With new lessons, activities, and opportunities ahead, we are looking forward to watching our students thrive.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement!

Warm regards,

Christine Firth, Principal

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, it will be charged to student’s account. In mid-September, every family will be encouraged to complete a Free and Reduced Meal application, as this data is used to potentially keep this program going for next year!
