Listen, learn, and lend your voice to issues important to your family!

Want to learn more, but not interested in being a voting delegate? All PTSA members are invited to register and attend online. The cost is $40.00. Not a PTA member yet? Join the Cherry Crest PTSA today and register to attend the Assembly!

We invite you to join the first general meeting of the year tonight with your PTSA family and discover new ways to support our Comm(UNITY), even in this challenging time!

This is a great opportunity to learn about the structure and functioning of Cherry Crest PTSA and how we work with staff, students and families. Some unique topics at this month’s meeting will be:

• Principal Steere will share information about volunteer access to the school, vaccine status, update us on how the first weeks of school have gone, and provide information on how families can partner and work together to support their children. 
• You will get to take part in reviewing and approving the 2021-22  budget and standing rules.

We  hope to see you there!

Your PTSA family

The Cherry Crest PTSA provides a family directory to all families at the school through an online service (DirectorySpot).

Only families who choose to share their contact information with the PTSA will be include (either listed or have access to the directory.)

The Bellevue school district only shares your information with the PTSA if you don’t opt out. As you perform the start of year information review in ParentVue, leave the following box unchecked for each student at Cherry Crest: ‘”By checking this box, I do not give permission to release my student’s directory information”.

Did you order a yearbook that you have not yet received? Remaining yearbooks for virtual students will be available for pickup on Thursday June 17th 12:15-2 pm. Please come to the doors outside the main office. Someone from the office will come outside to help you. This is your final opportunity to pick up your student’s yearbook this school year.

Note: there are no additional yearbooks available for purchase.
