Parents, Students, and Community Members: Over the past few weather emergencies that have occurred this school year, the Cherokee Community School District has experienced continual failure with its emergency school notification service, Snow Cap. The failure of alerts to be sent out is a dangerous problem and the district is currently examining other providers that offer similar services. This problem is not just a Cherokee Community School District issue, but rather an issue that schools across Northwest Iowa have been experiencing. While we search for other providers we are encouraging our current Snow Cap subscribers to subscribe to KTIV Alerts. Complete the form and be sure to select Cherokee under the "Schools" section.Welcome to Cherokee Community SchoolsThis is the new home of the Cherokee Community Schools Web site.
