We hope to see our families on Friday at the Spring Fling! You can register right up until the time of the event by using the link (click here). We just don't have the ability to accept cash at the door.

Our art teacher, Mr. Sundberg, organized art from our students to display in the show. It is so fun to check out!

Dear Cherokee Families,

We would love to see everyone at our PTO Spring Fling this Friday! See above for information!

Sincerely,

Heather Batko

Ordering deadlines: Please note that we have received communication from food services that families need to order lunch by 9:30 AM the school day prior. For example, when ordering lunch for pizza on Monday, please order by 9:30 AM on Friday. This helps with the accuracy of our lunch count. We of course always order extra but this helps with accuracy.
There is a charge of $1.50 for ordering doubles.

Sale runs April 1st- May 22nd

Cherokee Student Council will be selling lawn signs for the end of the year. It will run from April 1, 2026 - May 22, 2026

Celebrate your child's big milestone with a personalized Celebration Lawn Sign! These bright, cheerful signs are a way to recognize our Kindergarten - 5th grade students as they complete an important year and get ready for what's next.

Each sign will include a celebration message and your child's class year, making a special keepsake to display at home. All proceeds from the lawn sign fundraiser will support our leadership student’s end-of-the-year activities and future events.

Signs will be distributed before the end of the school year so families can proudly display them during our end-of-year celebrations. Thank you for helping us celebrate our students and support our school.

We have many students at Cherokee with severe peanut/tree nut allergies. Therefore peanut/tree nut products and products contaminated in a facility that processes peanuts/tree nuts may not be consumed in classrooms.
A designated area/table in the cafeteria will be available for students with peanut/tree nut allergies. Peanut/tree nut products may not be consumed in this designated area/table. The area/table will be labeled as a peanut/tree nut alert zone.
Your child's teacher will review guidelines and answer any specific questions.
Click here for the Snack Safely Guide. This guide has recommendations for foods that do not have peanuts, tree nuts and are not processed in facility with these items. This guide updates regularly so it is best to check the link below rather than printing.
