Public school officials in Cherokee and Forsyth counties have declared “digital learning” and “online learning” days, with students and faculty staying home and communicating lessons online because of ongoing COVID-19 concerns.

Cherokee County School District schools and offices are closed for two weeks. All school activities were canceled including athletics, extra-curriculars, special events and field trips.

"Non-CCSD activities held on our campuses, such as league sports and church services, also will not be held during the two-week closing," the district said. Information: https://bit.ly/33duWTM
