From the APT President
Welcome to the Cherokee APT website!
I am excited and honored to serve as Cherokee's APT president, working with staff and parents to continue our traditions of sharing information, building relationships, supporting staff, and providing outstanding enrichment experiences for our children!
My family came to Cherokee as a new family four years ago. We quickly learned what a special place Cherokee is, full of dynamic learning and fun -- all driven by our dedicated, talented, and enthusiastic staff and our fabulous principal, Mr. Livingston. Now my daughter is starting fifth grade and my son is starting third grade.
If you are a Cherokee parent, I encourage your family to join the APT -- our goal is 100% participation! I hope you will also consider coming to as many APT meetings as you can. Cherokee APT meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month from 9:30-11:00 AM in Room 127. Please join us before the meeting at 9:00 AM for coffee and to meet your fellow APT members. Meetings are open to ALL parents and are a great way to hear more about current issues within the school and around the District, meet other Cherokee parents, and ask questions.
Finally, please email me if you are interested in serving on one of the APT’s many committees. We would love to have you! You will also have several opportunities throughout the year to volunteer and be involved in school activities and events.
Thanks for stopping by our website and please let me know if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Carolyn Hutchinson
