COVID-19 Update 03.15.2020
Sunday, March 15, 2020
Cherry Families,
Please refer to the following important updates regarding our current circumstances surrounding the school closures due to COVID-19.
Meals for Students
Bay City ISD will be serving free “to-go” meals at Linnie Roberts Elementary and Bay City Junior High from 10 AM till 12 noon, March 16-20th to district families. Families are to drive up in the bus lane and remain in their vehicles, and meals will be handed to them. One meal per student in the car will be distributed. (So if there are four students in a specific vehicle, then four meals will be distributed to that car.) We are encouraging our families to drive up, rather than walk-up, in order to follow CDC recommendations regarding “social distancing.”
At-Home Learning
Our campus leadership team wants to ensure that our Cherry students are continuing to learn and grow during this time of school closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have compiled a variety of digital learning platforms, and will be creating hard copies of some resources as well, to be made available at our food distribution sites at Linnie Roberts Elementary and Bay City Junior High School, as well as at our local H-E-B grocery store in Bay City. We also plan to mail resources home to all current Cherry students. If your mailing address has recently changed, please notify Mrs. Christi Lara, campus PEIMS clerk, at clara@baycityisd.org to ensure that we are able to get these resources to you.
Social Media Platforms for Updates
We encourage you to "like" or follow the following social media platforms for campus and district updates. Our Cherry teachers and administrators plan to post videos of lessons and stories to our Cherry Facebook page throughout the closure, so this will also be helpful for at-home learning. Remember to refer to our district website for full updates, at www.bcblackcats.net.

Maintaining Health and SafetyThe most important thing any of us can do at this time is to remain calm and try to stay healthy. Social distancing will be key to slowing the spread of COVID-19. We encourage our families to practice social distancing and good hygiene as outlined by the CDC. Bay City ISD is committed to monitoring the situation as it changes, and we will keep our stakeholders informed along the way.

Drivers are to remain in the right-hand lane only, and leave the left
lane open during drop-off. All students
are to be dropped off in the front of the school, and should exit their vehicles
from the right side of the vehicle. This
way, our staff will see your student, and will then help them enter through the
main doors. For parents who walk their

the building at this time. On rainy
days, additional doors will be opened to allow quick entry. Cherry staff will be monitoring students and
helping them into the building from all along the front sidewalk.

There
are three options for student dismissal: bus riders, car riders, and walk-up
pick-up. Pre-Kindergarten car riders will

If you have students in both grade levels, they will dismiss with the
Pre-Kindergarten student. Parents must

First Day of School / Drop-Off & Dismissal Information
Tuesday, August 20, 2019
First Day at Cherry Elementary
Hello! As summer comes to an end, we here at Cherry are preparing our classrooms for the return of our favorite people - OUR STUDENTS! Please read over the following information to help you (and your student) prepare for this new year of learning.
The first day of school is Monday, August 26, 2019. On the first day of school, all students will go directly to their classrooms upon arriving at school. Parents are welcome to walk their students to their classrooms on the first day only. At 7:50, I invite all parents to join me in the Cafeteria for donuts and juice.

Then at 8:10, parents will be asked to leave campus so that our students can come to the Cafeteria to eat breakfast with their new friends. We ask that parents do not come for lunch during the first two weeks of school. We will be focusing on routines and procedures during this time, and having parents come and go can be very difficult for our students as they adjust to the school day. Beginning September 9, 2019, parents are welcome to come enjoy lunch with their student during their assigned lunch period.

Cherry Elementary Daily Schedule and Attendance Information
Monday, August 19, 2019
Schedule and Attendance
2019-2020
School Day: 7:45 AM - 3:15 PM
Hours of Operation: 7:15 AM - 3:45 PM
School Day: 7:45 AM - 3:15 PM
Hours of Operation: 7:15 AM - 3:45 PM
Please arrive at school on time!Cherry's day begins at 7:45 a.m. Students must not arrive before 7:15 a.m. unless they ride a bus. Students who are eating breakfast at school should arrive as early as 7:15 but no later than 7:45 a.m. Upon entering the building, all students will report to the cafeteria to eat breakfast. After eating, Pre-Kindergarten students will remain in the cafeteria with their teachers, and Kindergarten students will go to the gym. The front doors are locked at 7:45 a.m., so students arriving after this time should be escorted inside by an adult. Students arriving after 7:45 a.m. are tardy, and must get an admission slip from the office before going to their classroom. Persistent tardiness will NOT be tolerated. Attendance is taken daily at 9:15 a.m. Students must be in their classrooms to be counted present for the day. All students will be dismissed at 3:15 p.m. and should be picked up promptly at this time. Upon returning from an absence, students must bring a note from home and get an admission slip from the office before going to class.
Attendance:
One of our most important duties as parents is to instill good work habits in our children. Research shows that regular and punctual school attendance is essential to academic success. Students are to be in school, ready to begin learning at 7:45 a.m. every day.
Students who are ill should stay home until free of fever for 24 hours. A signed note from the parent/guardian explaining the reason for the absence is required within three days. Absences will only be excused with a doctor's note, and only if this is submitted within three days of the absence. When a student returns to school, make-up homework assignments and tests will be given. However, there are often enrichment activities which cannot be reproduced. We do not wish to encourage students to come to school when ill, but want to remind parents that all activities and lessons taught in the classroom contribute to successful learning.
Cherry receives funding for the year based on daily attendance. Our accountability rating is also determined using attendance as an indicator.
