🎉 Cheney Elementary Earns a B and Continues to Grow! 🎉

We are proud to share that Cheney Elementary earned a B again this year, and our school increased from 435 points to 450 points!

Our students made strong progress in reading, including an increase in 3rd grade reading from 52% to 61% and overall grades 3–5 reading from 49% to 55%.

We are also celebrating a strong science score of 62%, which reflects our students’ hard work with reading, vocabulary, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

A school grade is only one part of our story, but this progress shows that Cheney is moving in the right direction. We are so proud of our students, teachers, staff, and families for the work, support, and partnership that made this possible.

💙💛 Proud to be Vikings!

Students will receive grade-level academic instruction while also participating in structured baseball or softball training led by experienced coaches.

Update on the OCPS Baseball and Softball Microschool ⚾🥎

For families interested in learning more about the new OCPS Baseball and Softball Microschool planned for Cheney Elementary, OCPS will be holding two virtual parent information sessions on Tuesday, May 26.

The same information will be shared during both sessions, so families only need to attend one.

Tuesday, May 26, 2026

3:30 PM – 4:30 PM
https://ocps.webex.com/ocps/j.php?MTID=m5052afc33911a2aa63a1a39ce17255e3

5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
https://ocps.webex.com/ocps/j.php?MTID=m2e2ebb77ab96aade20439aaf19fdd66b

During the session, OCPS will share more about the vision for the program, next steps, and information about the application process as planning continues.

This program is designed for students in grades 3–6 who have a strong interest in baseball or softball and would benefit from a smaller learning environment that connects academics with athletic development.

Cheney is excited to be part of this opportunity, and we will continue sharing updates as more information becomes available.

Please feel free to share this with any families who may be interested.

Yesterday was a busy and meaningful day at Cheney Elementary.

We celebrated our Pre-K and Kindergarten students during their end-of-year program, recognized our fifth grade students at their awards ceremony, and provided a Chick-fil-A lunch for students in grades 2–5 who met their FAST academic goals.

We are proud of our students for their hard work and growth this year, and we appreciate our staff and families for supporting them along the way.

Thank you to everyone who helped make these celebrations possible. Be sure to post your pictures below. We want to see all of our kids. This was just what I had on my phone. -Mr. Scott

Today we welcomed back some of Cheney’s graduating seniors for their final high fives! 💙💛

It was special to see them return to where their journey began and reconnect with some of the teachers who helped cheer them on along the way. Once a Viking, always a Viking!

Thank you to our PTA for hosting last Friday’s Muffins with Mom event. It was a great opportunity to welcome families on campus and strengthen the home-school connection that supports our vision and mission at Cheney.

We appreciate everyone who joined us and helped make the morning special for our students. 💙💛
