It’s a busy Monday in CCSD schools! Teachers are in professional development sessions across the county, immersing themselves in our new ELA and math instructional materials. School Nutrition teams are meeting for in-service training. Schools are putting all the final touches on buildings and grounds to get ready for Friday! Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis stopped by Woodstock High School to thank the front office staff for their hard work getting ready for the new school year, the next phase of our mission to become the highest performing school district in Georgia! Dr. Davis also stopped in a couple of professional development classes while at Woodstock High. #ElevateTheExcellence #ccsd1stday2025

CCSD will be opening schools and facilities as regularly scheduled on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. We are aware of the continued low temperatures predicted for tomorrow and encourage students to dress warmly. Our team will continue to monitor the weather throughout the evening. Should there be any overnight developments that impact normal school operations, we will notify you by 5 a.m. via email, text, our website, and social media sites.

CCSD has again earned a top state honor for serving farm-fresh meals to students! CCSD’s School Nutrition program won the Georgia Farm to School Award from the Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition Division. Only 42 of Georgia’s 159 school districts received the award this fall. More: cherokeek12.net/post-detail/… #CCSDElevateTheExcellence

Ahoy! It’s National School Lunch Week, and Superintendent of Schools Mary Elizabeth Davis set sail today for Knox ES STEM Academy to celebrate its cafeteria crew for its savvy service.
