Our First Break

Cherokee Families,
I just want to take a minute to thank you all and let you know we are having a great start to the 13 - 14 school year!
During our first 12 days of school we have had a couple of assemblies and fire drills and our students have been outstanding in their attention to details, procedures, and expectations and when I have visited classrooms our students are highly engaged in the learning.
We know that doesn't happen just with what we do at school, but by the amazing job you all do in preparing our students for school. Thank you!

I also want to remind you all you can stay connected with Cherokee in a variety of manners - all core teachers have a webpage on the Cherokee web page - http://cherokee.spsk12.org/pages/Cherokee_Middle_School

Several teachers are using Remind101 to send reminders to students and parents about assignments, tests, and other important dates as well. Check with your student and/or teacher to find out more information.

You can also connect via our school Twitter account @CherokeeSPS and/or Remind101 by sending a text to 858-914-4324 with the message @principalp

You may also reach me via telephone at 523-7210 or email wtpowers@spsmail.org

We want to be as connected and transparent as possible in order to work with one another to have a successful 2 or 3 year experience at Cherokee.

Sincerely,

Bill Powers
Principal
