Dear Cherokee ISD Community,
In keeping with Cherokee ISD’s practices to respond to COVID-19, we are notifying all families and staff that three students are lab-confirmed to have COVID-19. These students were last present on campus on Monday, December 7, 2020. Symptoms started Tuesday, December 8th and Wednesday, December 9, 2020. Due to privacy requirements, we will not be releasing the names of the individuals or details that may identify him or her.
The local health department has been notified. All parents/guardians of students that were in close contact have been notified. The District will remain in remote learning until the Christmas Break Thursday, December 17, 2020. All activities are cancelled.
While we do not have reason to believe that those who were not in close contact with the infected individual have reason to be concerned, we ask that you, as always, watch for symptoms of COVID-19. If you or any member of the CISD community begins experiencing any of these symptoms in a way that is not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at jbordner@cherokeeisd.net or call (325)622-4298.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Bordner
Superintendent, Cherokee ISD
Cherokee ISD will remain in remote learning through Thursday, Dec. 17th. All school activities are cancelled until further notice. Due to the number of positive cases and exposure we feel this is in the best interest of our students and staff.

Cherokee ISD Community,
In keeping with Cherokee ISD’s practices to respond to COVID-19, we are notifying all families and staff that a staff member is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19. This staff member was last present on campus on November 30, 2020. Due to privacy requirements, we will not be releasing the name of the individual or details that may identify him or her.
The local health department has been notified. After careful review, we have determined that the COVID positive staff member did not come in contact with students or staff during the infectious period. The District immediately disinfected areas heavily used by the staff member.
While we do not have reason to believe that those who were not in close contact with the infected individual have reason to be concerned, we ask that you, as always, watch for symptoms of COVID-19.
Any of the following symptoms indicate a possible COVID-19 infection:
• Temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth;
• Sore throat;
• New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (or, for students with a chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline);
• Diarrhea, vomiting, or muscle pain/aches; or
• New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever
• Loss of taste and smell
If you or any member of the CISD community begins experiencing any of these symptoms in a way that is not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Cherokee ISD.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Bordner
