                                          Welcome to Cherry Hill School!

Welcome to the 20-21 school year.  We begin this year in a very different way than ever before!  I am confident  that whether your child is involved is the hybrid model or the full virtual model they will be successful.  Health and safety is our priority.  I encourage parents to speak to children about safety guidelines and protocols.

Character, respect, and tolerance are prominent pillars at our school.   This year an important focus is to support our children in their social and emotional growth at Cherry Hill School.  Teachers and administrators have been trained during professional development sessions in social and emotional  programs. We are continuing to integrate the Responsive Classroom in kindergarten through grade three.  This program combines teaching social and emotional   strategies with academics in a fun, positive, classroom environment.  Students will build a community with one another and make friends while establishing expectations and procedures.  The upper grade students will be involved in the “Dylan’s Wings of Change “ Program.   Dylan’s Wings teaches social skills through activities of  team bonding and trust. Student leaders will participate in this program while  helping others create confidence in a inclusive community.  
 
We are proud that Cherry Hill School /New Bridge Center is a warm, caring school. Our diverse campus of Pre-K to 6th grade students represent a loving community of families and staff. We often celebrate the unique individuals and students' positive demeanor toward one another. Our staff and parents work together to offer our students a outstanding educational experience.
 
Children are involved in activities encompassing critical thinking, application of learned skills, and integrating experiences across the curriculum. Our environment fosters high academic standards and authentic learning opportunities.  The New Jersey Student Learning Standards drive our curriculum and instruction. Our students are prepared to meet the rigorous demands for the 21st Century. Local and standard assessments measure student progress, allows for data analysis, and  informs our instruction to meet students’ needs. 

Cherry Hill programs include Art, Vocal and Instrumental Music, Media, Physical Education, Blended Technology, STEAM experiences, World Language, CREATE and many exciting performing arts activities. We have one to one technology devices for Kindergarten through sixth grade. Students and teachers are full steam ahead in our beautiful STEAM lab.   Our Parent Teacher Organization is a tremendous support and is extremely supportive. All parents and staff are encouraged to participate in the organization. The PTO coordinates many programs, activities and gifts to benefit our children and staff. Our students will have a very meaningful and successful year!

Be Well,
Denise Heitman, Principal
