From the Office
Happy Wednesday Cherrydale Families!
The last couple of weeks have been busy at Cherrydale! Please enjoy these photos from The PTA Dance-a-thon, Kindergarten/1st Grade Title 1 Literacy Night, and our Veterans Day Assembly!
Warm Regards,
Christine Firth, Principal
It is important the district receives one completed form for every student, including our Running Start and Skills Center students - whether or not their parents/guardians live or work on federal property - because each completed form generates revenue for the district.
Completing the form is easy! Click to complete the form included in the ParentSquare post Action Required - Impact Aid - Every Survey Counts!
The first K-3 class to reach a 100% return rate will receive a pizza party with a surprise guest, and all classes with a 100% return rate will receive popsicles. The results will be announced no later than December 2, 2024.
Surveys are due by November 21, 2024. If you have questions, please contact your child's school directly.
We are actively seeking dedicated individuals to join our team in various roles, including teachers, paraeducators, and substitutes. If you're passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment and making a positive impact, we want you on our team!

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 the next few weeks, 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!
