Cherrydale Primary School

Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!

It has been wonderful welcoming back our returning cheetahs and meeting our new cheetahs during our success conferences last week and our first few days with students this week. I am looking forward to having all our kindergarteners here with us this Friday! Thank you to our families for ensuring that your child is dropped off prior to 9:05am. It is so important that our students are here everyday that they are able because attendance matters, especially in our elementary grades.

We are looking forward to the year ahead learning and growing with our Cheetahs!

~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!
