Great start to the new year!

Cherokee parents and famlies,
What a great start to the 2011 - 2012 school year. Our students are bright eyed and getting settled right in to the routines of middle school life.
Remember if you have your eSchool password from last year it still works. However, if you are new to Springfield Public Schools or to middle school please come by the office to pick up your students password. If you are not aware eSchool Home Access Center allows you to monitor your child's academic performance online.
As always if you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 523-7200 or wtpowers@spsmail.org


Thanks,
Bill

School time is just around the corner!

Hello returning and new Cherokee families,

I hope this blog post finds you all doing well this summer.
We have started receiving phones calls regarding orientations and other activities.
You will be receiving a mailing later this week from us with very important information regarding the 2011 - 2012 school year. If you have not received this initial mailing by Tuesday, July 19 please make sure we have your correct mailing address by calling 523-7200.
7th grade students will receive a postcard from us at the beginning of August to let you know which orientation to attend. The dates are Tuesday, Aug. 16 and 17 and you will receive a postcard in early August to let you know which night you should attend.
6th grade orientation is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 16 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the gymnasium.
If you have any questions please email me at wtpowers@spsmail.org or call 523-7200.
I look forward to seeing and meeting you all very soon.
