New WhatsApp Community for Grade-Level Parent Communication

The PTSA is excited to announce the launch of a “Cherry Crest Elementary Parents Group” WhatsApp Community with grade-specific parent groups.

These groups are designed to help the PTSA, CE Reps and room parents connect with other parents in a specific grade.

Joining these groups is completely optional and opt-in only. The groups will not replace our other existing forms of communication. They will not be facilitated by any PTSA member and are meant to be self-serving.

We invite every parent to join and help make this a welcoming and valuable resource for our school community.
