PTSA Math Club Tests Their Skills

Around 50 RMS PTSA Math Club students met in the gym after school on January 19 to take a proctored exam on their laptops. This challenge, known as the AMC 8, is one of several competitions Math Club takes part in throughout the year, providing opportunities to test and grow students’ skills. Math Club students also participate in online and in-person (when possible) coaching sessions with adult volunteers and high school age coaches. Kudos to our math competitors and volunteers!

Going on Vacation? Submit the Pre-arranged absences form

Going on Vacation? It is expected that families will schedule their vacations and activities to coincide with the school calendar. We understand that some absences cannot be rescheduled or prevented from overlapping with school. Nonetheless, absences for vacations, sports tournaments, dance competitions, family travel, trips of a lifetime, etc. must be prearranged and approved to be considered excused under district policies (BSD Policy 3122, Procedure 3122P https://bit.ly/3dnFZzI).

You can download a copy of the prearranged absence form directly from our school’s website: https://bsd405.org/cherrycrest/report-an-absence/ or pick up a copy in the main office. We ask that you submit the form at least 2 weeks in advance to allow time for review by the teacher, and approval from the Assistant Principal. Email cherrycrestattendance@bsd405.org with any questions.

Classroom Volunteers Needed

Cherry Crest Teachers through the PTSA would like to ask any parents interested in volunteering in the classrooms to please fill  in the Classroom Volunteer Form.

Please fill in this form if you’d like to volunteer for regular classroom opportunities or plan to volunteer for field trips or special events.

A Reminder about Pre-Arranged Absences

With the holidays approaching, remember that Bellevue School District allows each student 5 pre-arranged absences (PRA) per year. These are excused absences to use for a travel day, a sport or dance competition or longer trip.

If your child will only be missing one or two days, please email cherrycrestattendance@bsd405.org.

If your child will be missing 3 or more days, please submit a pre-arranged absence form at least 2 weeks prior to your trip.

Thank you for including your child’s full name when emailing for any attendance related matters!

Volunteer Request: After-School Chair

The After-School Chair will work with School Secretary, Kathy Bessler, to determine which after-school programs are offered at Cherry Crest.  We have many established vendors but the goal is to match student and parent needs with offerings.  Programs are typically offered in fall, winter and spring.  Time Commitment: 2-3 hours per season
