Teachers, we will need to judge costumes at the end of 1st period today. We will call the students out of class, but go ahead right now and judge within your classes on which students will be representing.

Homecoming Dance tickets are on sale in the morning and during lunch time. This dance is only for Cherokee students enrolled at Cherokee.

Remember the dance is this Saturday from 7 to 10 pm. The theme is Red, White, and Black, and the cost is $10 and you can purchase them before school or during your lunch in the Cafeteria.  You must have a ticket in hand to enter the dance. Once you buy a ticket, Do Not Lose It or You Will Have to Buy Another ticket at the dance that night in order to enter. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Collins for more info.

SENIORS - The ACT Retake is one week away!  Testing will be next Tuesday, first thing in the morning.  Use this week to prepare!  Practice tests for each ACT section can be found in TestNav.  There’s a practice test button right underneath the login

We are noticing that some of you are not following my directive as to where to be dropped off in the mornings and picked up in the afternoons. Please remind whomever is driving that you need to be dropped off behind the gym and picked up in parking lots A or B.

For those students that are parking in Lot B, do not stand around in that lot. You need to get in your cars. There are too many other folks picking up and needing to get out of that lot rather quickly. Also, unless you are driving, or riding with another student, you need to stay on the sidewalk at the library.
