Principal's Corner
I encourage each of you to become an educational role model for your children. Your children need to know you care about their future and that education is the key to that future. How can you become an educational role model?
Read newsletters and other information coming from school.
Have frequent conversations with the teacher about your
child's academic progress, strengths, and weakness.
Ask for and attend parent teacher conferences.
Look for and read progress reports and report cards.
Attend PTA and after school related programs.
Talk with your children about school and the things they
have learned.
Get your children to school everyday and on time. Once
they are here, keep them here, and plan appointments after school
hours.
Be positive and speak positively about your school.
In 2008, Cherrydale Elementary School piloted four single-gender education classrooms at the 4th and 5th grade levels. In 2010, this pilot was expanded to third grade due to the overwhelming success of the program. In addition to the success of single-gender, Cherrydale Elementary continues to increase student achievement. For two consecutive years, Cherrydale Elementary has earned AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) as defined by "No Child Left Behind" and significantly improved its State Report Card rating.
Cherrydale is a school on the move, and we want your best
efforts in helping us achieve solid academic success. Thank you for all
you will do to make this a reality.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Scarlet H. Black, Principal
