Hello Cherokee Families,
I hope you all enjoyed the nice Fall weather this weekend.
I’ve shared info regarding IGNiTE a few times this year. Our students will receive their Chromebooks this Wednesday, Nov. 4th and will be taking them home the same day.

10. We have an amazing team here at Cherokee. Thank you all the families who submitted a recognition this year! You have no idea how much this means to our teachers and staff.
You can complete an Employee Recognition Form here (the link is functioning again) to show them your appreciation. No recognition is too small. Thank you for taking the time to recognize and celebrate our staff!

Have a great week and as always #GoIndians
