Welcome to Cherry Valley
Elementary, Home of the Cheetahs!
Cherry Valley is a community-based K-5
elementary school of 525 students and 62 staff
members. We are very proud of our students,
our families and our community. We are located
in beautiful Duvall, Washington, 25 miles
Northeast of Seattle. We are situated in the
stunning Snoqualmie River Valley in a
community small enough to feel personal and
close enough to the Seattle metro area to
provide access to any desired “big city”
amenities.
Cherry Valley offers rigorous and engaging instruction for students in grades K-5. We offer a wide
variety of before and after school enrichment and support opportunities as well as before and after
school care on site.
Cherry Valley staff is highly trained and experienced. We are dedicated to the success of each and
every Cherry Valley Cheetah and believe this is best achieved through diverse learning
opportunities and strong school and family partnerships
At Cherry Valley Elementary, we often use the words “be the best you can be” to help our students
understand our expectations. Whether we are talking about our behavior at recess, in the cafeteria,
in the classroom, or on a field trip, we want our students to show their best selves and to do their
very best work each day. Our school strives to be an inclusive learning environment where leaders
are safe to learn and learners are safe to lead.
We are very fortunate to enjoy a highly supportive PTA and parent community who tirelessly support
the students and staff at Cherry Valley. We invite you to join us in our efforts to make Cherry Valley
Elementary the very best it can be!
Cherry Valley Elementary is a house of learning.
Sincerely,
Heather Sánchez
