Announcements 2010 - 2011 School Calendars The Cherokee County School Board approved the following calendars for 2010 - 2011. (2/9) Traditional Calendar Weather Make Up Day The day missed due to inclement weather on February 1, 2010 will be made up on Friday, February 19, 2010, a scheduled staff development day. All students and staff will attend on a regular schedule on this date. (2/3) School Choice Procedures and Deadlines Students will be assigned to the school that serves his/her legal place of residence as determined by the board for the current school year. Parents wishing to request a change in school assignment must complete a District Transfer/School Choice form at their home school. The home school will date the form when received and retain a copy for their files. Parents then must submit the original form to the receiving school between February 1st and March 1st. Transfers received after the March 1st deadline will not be approved. Students in the assigned attendance area will be given first priority for school assignment. Transfers will be based on availability of space as long as the student-to-teacher ratio does not exceed a number to be determined each year by the district in the receiving school. Transfers will also be on a first-come, first served basis and will not be changed during a school year. The Parent/Legal Guardian and the home school will be notified by June 30th regarding the status of the transfer. Parents must provide transportation for those students attending a school outside of their assigned attendance area.
