Cherokee Trail Elementary Parents/Guardians:
An overhead waterline in the back hall of our building failed at some point early Saturday morning which caused flooding to each of our 2nd - 7th grade classrooms, library and other office spaces. Cleanup efforts began yesterday around noon, but will take a significant amount of time. As a result, CTES will be closed for the upcoming week 10/25-10/29. I am meeting with district administration at 2:00 today to formulate a plan that will likely include eLearning. Stay tuned for further updates as we receive them.
The next regularly scheduled Board meeting will be on Tuesday, October 26th at 6pm. Executive session begins at 5:45pm. Please see the attached updated agenda for more information.
Attention! Lake Secession Road has been closed on the lake side just past Diamond Hill Elementary School. This will force entry to Diamond Hill Elementary from Highway 284. Arrival times for after school bus transportation from Diamond Hill will be impacted by this closure. Please be patient as our drivers safely transport children home today. The arrival times could be later than normal. Our Transportation Director and Bus Supervisors are aware of the closure and adjusting routes to account for the road closure. This closure could remain in place for a short to extended period of time.

Good evening parents and students. Earlier this evening we attempted to send out a voice message, but it did not go through successfully. We apologize for the confusion. Please see the intended message below:
"Welcome to the 2021-22 school year. We are very excited to see you tomorrow although the Delta variant appears to be knocking on our doors. With that being said, I want to reassure you that we will do everything possible to keep our students and staff as safe as possible as we work through these issues together.
As you know we are returning to in-class instruction with no virtual option. If the situation takes a turn for the worse, we will re-evaluate as we are literally monitoring this daily. As a reminder we are doing the following: after speaking with area medical experts we will not allow parents/guests inside the schools until further notice to help curb potential spreading of the virus; maintaining the 3’ social distancing requirement inside the school and on playgrounds; asking teachers to utilize the desk shields;
no group work at this time unless the social distancing guidelines are followed; we encourage masks to be worn but cannot mandate them nor the vaccine at this time; when students report to school we ask
them to maintain social distancing and not to mass congregate; we will continue spraying each school or hotspots with electrostatic sprayers; we encourage everyone to continue exercising good hygiene; we ask that anyone exposed to someone with the virus to wear a mask until you receive a negative test; there will be no live steaming instruction due to liability issues but our teachers and parents should work together for students to make up and master their work. We will issue Chromebooks to all students as soon as possible in case we need to go to an e-learning platform.
Thank you for your support and patience during this trying time and lets all continue working together to make ACSD the best it can be and the best year we have experienced. See you tomorrow and have a great night."
