Transitional Transfers

Cherokee Families,

Current fifth (5th) families - if you desire for your child to attend a middle school OTHER than the school that serves your address, a transfer request from must be completed. (Cherokee does currently have openings for ALL grade levels for the 2014 - 2015 school year.) Transfers are approved based on building capacity and the order in which the transfers are received. The transfer forms may be picked up in the principal's office. The transfer form needs to be completed and sent to the principal of the school the child is requesting to attend. It is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to send the transfer form to the requested school.
The deadline to submit the transfer request is 3 p.m. Friday, December 6, 2013.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 523-7210, wtpowers@spsmail.org, or @CherokeeSPS

Have a great day,

Bill Powers

Help Build Our Gardens

Cherokee Families,

We are calling for a work day for the Cherokee Gardens Project!

We need to build 7 raised-bed gardens and fill them with soil. Our work day will be Saturday, Oct. 12, from 9:00-2:00. Lunch will be provided, as will drinks. We need all interested folks to meet at the west entrance to the school with power drills, power saws (if available), wheelbarrows for hauling dirt from a pickup to the courtyard, shovels, rakes, gloves, enthusiasm, and muscles! If it rains, we will build but not haul dirt.

Please email Laurie Mertens-Price (lmertens@spsmail.org) if you can attend and/or have questions. We need a headcount so we will have plenty of hotdogs, chips, etc. 

Thank you so much for your continued support.
