Cherrydale Primary School

Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!

We hope you and your family had a joyful holiday season and are feeling refreshed as we begin the new year. We are excited for all the wonderful experiences and opportunities the remainder of the year will bring, and we look forward to continuing to work together to support our students' growth and success.

As we kick off the new year, we want to take a moment to remind all families about the importance of using our valet system to ensure smooth and efficient drop-offs and pick-ups. Parking can be limited, so we ask that you please avoid blocking neighboring driveways or natural walking paths, especially in the area near the 3rd grade valet. We appreciate your support so we can ensure a safer and more convenient experience for everyone.

We appreciate everything you do to support your cheetahs at home so they can have success at school!

Warm Regards,

Christine Firth, Principal
