CPS COVID19 UPDATE 14
I just got off the phone with the State Superintendent through a Zoom meeting. She just got off a call with the White House and here are the updates.
In Oklahoma, we have 719 confirmed cases of Covid 19 with 30 fatalities. In the next two weeks the numbers, especially in Oklahoma, are expected to grow. Now is the time to stay home and distance so we do not lose ground on our fight against this virus. If you are 65 or older or immune compromised, shelter at home. Travel less and listen to the Governor’s press conference at 3PM for further guidelines.
When we do get to the peak, it will be vital that we stay with our shelter plans to reduce the possibility of relapse. Dr. Fauci was on the call with the SDE and restated that the next two weeks will get worse before it gets better. We are a strong Nation and will move past this pandemic if we keep vigilant in our fight against the spread.
Waivers have been granted for all 8th grade students needing test results or proof of enrollment. Driving testing has been suspended and you need an appointment to go into the DMV.
Grading until May 8th. Schools will provide learning and give opportunities to improve but students are not to be negatively impacted by this situation.
CPS will serve 300+ meals on Monday for the week. We will be wearing gloves and taking temperatures of our working staff.
The teacher parade was a great success! Thank you to all our teachers and community for being there for one another.
We are on track to provide educational services starting Monday. If you need internet services for school work, you can drive to the Sports Complex and use a free WiFi from the school. The ID is CPS Guest and the Password is cherokee2020. We ask that you stay in your car and keep to social distancing.
Cherokee, you rock! Keep safe and wash your hands. We miss you and can’t wait to move past this bump in the road and have kids running all over campus. Most of all, we want you safe and well, so stay home and be kind to one another.

CPS COVID19 UPDATE #13
There is a lot of information in this post so hang in there and keep reading.
The stimulus package passed so financial help is on the way to schools. Things are still moving quickly and the teachers are planning, virtually, as we speak. Look for more information as the week goes on.
CPS provides over 200 breakfast and lunches today for the week. This is through the Seamless Summer program. Any child 0-18 qualifies and special needs individuals to 21. If you need to sign up, I provided the link at the bottom of this post.
There will be a teacher parade tomorrow at 12:30. Teachers will be going down all residential streets in town. Please stay in your yard or drive! Please practice social distancing. The football and softball teams are burning their lights every Friday night from 8-9 to remind students and our community we are thinking of you.
We plan to push our more information this week on educational services so keep checking this FB and the school sites.

Please drive through the circle drive and REMAIN in your vehicle so that we are adhering to social distancing procedures to keep everyone safe.

You can use this internet in the complex parking lot. Please don’t get out of your cars and keep to the CDC requirements. We hope this will help.
Christy Snider will be selling plants in an online sale in a few weeks. The FFA students can’t participate but we don’t want the beautiful plants to go to waste. More info later.
Whew, that’s a lot! Thank you to everyone for the prayers and offers of help.
