Growth Mindsets - Character building
This year we are focusing on growth mindsets and giving our best! I talked to classrooms this week about how ONE KIND WORD CAN CHANGE SOMEONE'S ENTIRE DAY.
One word has the potential to change everything words have power. Let's use our words as a source of inspiration to those around us. Your challenge for this week is to find someone who needs a kind word and give them one. So simple, but so important. Search out those in need of a little encouragement and be a friend to them. Just a few words, or even one kind word, can change a person's whole day. Let them know you care: It will make your day a better one, too.
Cherrydale Fundraiser!!
We will be kicking off our Elementary fundraiser on Monday, September 11th. Students will be bringing packets home with all of the information. This fundraiser is important in funding and providing students opportunities for field trips, lyceums and Rebel Pride/Bingo celebrations and many other things.

October 3rd - Two-Hour Late Start
Once again, USC teaching staff will be working in Professional Learning Communities. This time is used to analyze data, research best practices, and engage in group planning to improve student achievement. The first PLC is scheduled for October 3. School will begin two hours late. It will start at 10:20 A.M. and breakfast for students will not be served at school.
We realize this can be difficult for some parents to find supervision for their children on these late start days. In order to help with this, elementary students in grades K-6 will be allowed to come to school from 8:20 – 10:20 A.M. and be supervised by staff. During this time they will be viewing a Rated G or PG movie in the elementary music room. Students should report directly to the music room. Students must be here by 8:20 A.M. in order to be supervised, and they will not be allowed to leave the building once they get here. Students coming to school to be supervised from 8:20 – 10:20 A.M. will need to be transported because buses will only be running on the two hour late schedule.
Flexible Learning Plan Approved by School Board
The School Board approved a plan to implement up to three Flexible Learning Days in the event of emergency closings during the 2017-18 school year.
