Cherokee Wolf Pack News

Dear Cherokee Families,

Thank you for a wonderful first month of school!

Your students have been busy building relationships, learning routines and procedures, and having fun while growing alongside their amazing teachers. We’re excited about the upcoming events and would love for you to join us. Please continue to check your newsletters and ParentSquare updates so you don’t miss anything!

Warmly,

Dr. Cigarroa

Join us on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 5:30–6:30 PM for our annual Title I Parent Information Night & School Showcase! The evening will begin with a Title I informational meeting at 5:30 to share how Title I supports our students and families. Immediately following, families are invited to tour the classrooms, meet the teachers, and see the work that students have been doing. We hope to see all of our Wolf Pack families there! 🐾

Maroon and Gold days for September will be on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 19, 22, and 29. Let's show our Topper/Wolf Spirit! On Friday, Sept. 19, SH football players will be here to open car doors, so let's fill the school with maroon and gold.

Health screenings will take place this Thursday, September 4, for PK, K, 2, and 4 students who have been registered.

There will be a Girl Scouts information meeting at 6:30 PM in the Little Theater. This follows the Title I parent night. Please plan to stay/come if you are interested in Girl Scouts.
