Cherrydale Primary School

Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!

As we dive into another exciting week of learning and growth, we want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of reviewing our Parent/Student Handbook together as a family. This handbook is an essential resource that outlines important information about our district's policies, procedures, and expectations. Understanding these guidelines can make the school year smoother and more enjoyable for both students and parents.

Click the link to our Parent/Student Handbook ParentSquare post which has a link to the Parent/Student Handbook as well as the receipt of review. Please be sure to click on the receipt stating that you have reviewed our Parent/Student handbook and that you give permission for your child to access technology at school.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making this school year a success. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Wishing you a fantastic week ahead!

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!
