Dear Cherokee Families,
We will dismiss school today at regular time. Some of our bus routes may be modified and we have contacted those student's parents with those changes. Some routes may run longer today than usual. Please take your time picking up your student's today and we appreciate your patience as it may take a little longer than usual. A decision for tomorrow's school day will be made later this evening.
Thank you!

Cherokee Public Schools will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in Feb 2025.
NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a standard measure of achievement nationwide. The results are released as The Nation’s Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents/guardians, policymakers, and the public.
Students in 4th & 12th grade will take a mathematics, reading, or science assessment. In addition to subject-area questions, students voluntarily complete NAEP survey questions. These questions provide valuable information about participating students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom.
More information about NAEP survey questions is available at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents under the section “What Questions Are on the Test?”
Cherokee Public Schools would like to thank everyone that supported this year's Cherokee Invitational Tournament. We appreciate everyone's patience with the changes and adjustments to the schedule due to weather this year. Congratulations to the Seiling Lady Wildcats and the Balko-Forgan Bulls on their Championship wins! We want to thank our tournament sponsor Alfalfa Electric Cooperative for their generous contributions and support of this tournament. Special thanks to our Cherokee Sports Boosters for running the concession stand again this year. Big thanks to Coach Guffy, Coach Pruett, Mr. Pruett and the numerous other staff and volunteers that it takes to make this event a success each and every year. We hope to see you all again next year. Good luck to everyone the rest of the season!!
It's a Great Day to Be a Chief!!
