Update on COVDID19 for CPS:
At CPS, we are monitoring the coronavirus situation and I will have a video meeting with the State Superintendent today. Depending upon what they tell us, we will make decisions for the near future. The OSSAA has issued a message that all of their activities will be postponed until further notice.
A few things to prepare for:
All school activities, practices and open gyms are cancelled for Spring Break with the exception of OYE, unless they cancel
The possibility of all activities suspended for the rest of the year
If the SDE closes schools in our state, we will have a plan for education for your students
Administration is working on a guideline for those education plans
Decisions will be made during Spring Break for activity trips for the rest of the year and education plans if there are closures.
The buildings will be locked starting Saturday for everyone, stay home, wash hands
While we do not know the number of people or where they live, there will be testing available so the numbers will increase. Keep to your health procedures and stay home if you are sick. Remember, we are not trying to be alarmists but preventative. What we do today as prevention, promotes less spread of illness for the future.
This is a fluid situation with changes happening hourly. Please stay informed and CPS will continue to monitor and assess as needed.
Donna Anderson
Superintendent
Cherokee Public Schools.
Just a reminder: Parent Teacher Conferences are from 3:30 to 7:30 today at the Elementary & JH/HS. The Elementary Book Fair will be open till 7:30.
Spring Break is March 13 - 20. Enjoy your break!
The OSSAA has cancelled all activities until further notice. In an effort to be proactive and follow this lead CPS will suspend all practices, games and open gym for Spring Break. Further information will be posted as this situation progresses.
Due to weather the track meet has been canceled for Friday. We will attempt to reschedule at a later date if possible. Thank you, Coach Schanbacher.
All current 6th -11th Cherokee girls are invited to an informative pageant tea party on April 19th at 2:00 pm in the Baker Building. Please wear a Sunday dress and bring a parent or guardian with you to the event.
Softball Reminder - The JH Softball Game scheduled for this afternoon has been canceled.
CPS has changed the calendar for the 2019-2020 school year. March 27, 2020 & April 3, 2020 will be days out of school. The calendar was changed in an effort to give the school community additional time to allow flu season to pass with as little spread of infection as possible.
It is our hope that this measure along with continued districtwide electrostatic disinfection spraying will provide a healthy environment for our students & staff. Responsible prevention is our goal.
