Cherry Valley Elementary Staff Offer Safe & Loving Return to School

​"Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best they can possibly be." - Rita Pierson

When times are tough, there is always one thing the staff at Cherry Valley holds on to: community. No matter the day, no matter the challenge, the staff works together to teach, love and care for every student and family. With the start of the 2020-2021 academic year underway, the Cherry Valley staff knew they had to be proactive for students to feel ready to return to in-person learning. They worked hard to create and produce the “Top 10 Things to Know about Returning to School in Person!” Watch the Cherry Valley back-to-school plan video at the top of this blog post.

Cherry Valley elementary staff is ready to begin the new school year to be those champions for our wonderful RPS 205 students. Welcome home, Cherry Valley Chargers! #RPS205proud #CVchargers #GoChargers
