IMPORTANT: Back to School Details for 2023-2024 SY
ATTENTION: Parent Forms
In order for your student(s) to start school, a parent/guardian in Household 1 is required to fill out Parent Forms for their student(s) every school year through the PowerSchool SIS: Parents tile in the my.cherrycreekschools.org Parent Portal. Parent Forms include updating and verifying any medical needs your student(s) might have, emergency contacts, accepting district policies, and more. This information is critical in communicating with you as a parent/guardian and with providing support to your student(s). These forms will be available starting July 5.
- Log in to my.cherrycreekschools.org with your e-mail address and password.
- If you do not remember your password, enter your e-mail address, click "Go" and then click the "Forgot password?" link to reset your password.
- *Select the "PowerSchool SIS: Parents" tile.
- You will be directed to PowerSchool and will see the name of your student(s) at the top. On the left menu, scroll to the bottom and click "Parent Forms.
- Once you fill out and submit Parent Forms, the form will be final. Please pay attention as you fill out these forms.
- Limited updates can be made using the "Guardian Update" tile in my.cherrycreekschools.org. These updates include adding contacts, phone numbers, and automated messaging preferences. For other updates, contact the school directly.
» Please access helpful guides for more detailed instructions on filling out Parent Forms.
ATTENTION: Chromebook User Agreement Form
The other important form that needs to be completed is a our CCA Chromebook User Agreement Form. This form is a Cherry Creek Academy form that you will not find in the CCSD portal. Because we are a 1:1 School (meaning that every child has their own personal Chromebook to use for the full year, we require parents to fill out the Chromebook Usage Agreement Form 2023-2024
This form must be completed in order for your child to receive their Chromebook in August.- The Chromebook Handbook can be found here.

A Note From Dennis Uniforms
Thank you for being a trusted DENNIS Uniform partner. As we shared earlier, our new DENNIS Distribution Center in Fort Worth, Texas, is now running at full capacity. We’re thrilled to continue serving your families with this important investment that will ultimately create better operational efficiency.
However, we are currently experiencing heavier order volume than anticipated, which is causing shipping delays to some customers. Fortunately, much of our back-to-school inventory for 2023 has already been manufactured and is stocked in our warehouse in Texas, but the additional activity, including decoration of logoed items, means some families may wait additional time to receive their uniforms.
Please know our team is doing everything possible to ensure your families receive their uniforms in a timely manner.
Here’s what we are doing to work through the situation:
- Communicating regularly with parents on the status of their orders
- Prioritizing shipments based on school start dates
- Providing estimated shipment dates for you to share with parents to help address any questions that come your way
Your Customer Success Manager will reach out to you in the next few days with specific information on your school’s estimated shipment dates.
Thank you so much for your continued partnership!
Best regards,
Jeff Blade, DENNIS Uniform CEO
Don't Forget! 15% off at Dennis Uniforms Online Store - 1st Monday of Each Month!*
