Dear Cherokee Families,
Thank you for a wonderful January and for the continued support you show our students and staff. With seasonal sickness going around, we appreciate families contacting the school to report absences. Thank you as well for continuing to support reading at home and strong attendance, as both play an important role in your childβs success. We are grateful for our partnership and look forward to a great February ahead.

Special Area's Update
ESL
Hello families! Our annual English Language Learner test will begin on Monday, February 9. We are so excited to see how much our students have learned over the past year. This will measure progress in four areas: Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. The results help us understand how well your child is learning English and guide the instruction and support we provide. Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast. Also, ask them to do their best on this very important test.
From Ms. Waddell and Ms. Banks
