Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,
On behalf of the Cherokee Trail High School Counseling Department, it is with great pleasure that we welcome you to
the 2021-2022 school year. We want to take this opportunity to share information about the counseling department
and our backgrounds.
The Cherokee Trail Counseling Department’s goal is to support all students throughout high school in planning for
their post-secondary path by implementing a comprehensive ICAP (Individual Career and Academic Plan) curriculum
at all grade levels. As counselors, we believe that all aspects of a student’s high school experience can be nurtured
and supported; there is something for everyone at CT.
Cherokee Trail counselors are assigned based on student last names, with the exception of students who are
identified as Gifted and Talented. Below are the counselor assignments:
• A-Cho Sameen DeBard
• Chr-Gao Becca Breen
• Gap-Haw Brooke Gabrielli
• Hay-Jac Lindsay Gillespie
• Jad-Mar Shondra Carpenter
• Mas-Phi Kedar Witte
• Pho-Sol Jesse Martinez
• Som-Z Nick Jasurda
• Gifted & Talented Mike McCorry
We consider the counseling department to be “a hub of information,” and a valuable resource to all Cherokee Trail
students and families. Counselors are available by phone at 720-886-1980, or students can schedule appointments
online by visiting the counseling page on the Cherokee Trail website. Counselors are also available during Student
Access Time from 7:45-8:15 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
We look forward to working with you this school year.
Sincerely,
Cherokee Trail Counseling Department

Parent Teacher Community Organization [PTCO]
Welcome new and returning CT families!
As you all know, the Covid-19 issue has changed many things for all of us, from the ways we do business
to how we interact with our friends and families. This has hit us pretty hard at Cherokee Trail as well, and
we are looking for new ways to support our students and staff through this time. Our primary main
fundraisers - calendars for the year (the actual on-campus schedule is still shifting) and our Craft Fairs
(our Spring Fair was cancelled, and we are still unsure of the status of our upcoming Fall Fair) - won’t be
generating the usual financial support, and we are hoping for family & community donations to bridge a bit
of that gap. Please use RevTrak to make donations to PTCO.
A bit about our organization: the purpose of the Cherokee Trail PTCO is to assist in attaining the highest
level of education and welfare for the entire student body of Cherokee Trail High School through the
cooperative efforts of the Faculty and Staff, the Cherry Creek School District community and parents.
PTCO shall also work to further the Cherokee Trail Mission statement: “Our actions will ignite the genius
and nurture the goodness within us all.” Here are some of the fruits of our fundraising efforts:
● PTCO provides classroom grants that enhance the educational and learning experience of the
Cherokee Trail High School student body. In 2020, PTCO made over $25,000 in grants for
educational materials, equipment, and learning experiences. PTCO’s legacy for having an impact
on our students’ learning experience continues!
● PTCO hosts After Prom, a post-prom safe and alcohol-free event for CT students. More than 350
juniors and seniors attended After Prom 2019 Boondocks.
● PTCO prepares and serves dinner to the faculty and staff during the fall and spring
Parent/Teacher conferences.
● PTCO is a Teacher Appreciation Week sponsor.
● PTCO sponsors the annual Holiday Craft Fair each fall, followed months later with the Spring
Fling Craft Fair.
We are also in need of new general members! We invite you to join PTCO at our projects, programs and
meetings. PTCO enlists a communication platform to keep parents and guardians informed of volunteer
opportunities and school events. Be sure to Opt In during registration to receive our email communiques.
PTCO encourages you to share your ideas and help make a difference in your student’s experience
throughout his/her time at Cherokee Trail. If you would like to volunteer or join PTCO, please fill out the
PTCO Sign Up Form.
We hope you’ll make plans to join us for our General Membership meetings throughout the year. Watch
your email for dates and times . If you have any questions please email: lindseybraun921@gmail.com or
tamibrown23@gmail.com. Your Cherokee Trail PTCO Board looks forward to making the 2021-2022
school year a great one!PTCO Check List for Payment

COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS DAY 2021
On October 13th, 2021, all students will participate in College & Career Readiness
Day. This year, 10th grade students will have the opportunity to choose to take
one of two college preparatory tests. The test options are as follows:
Option 1: PSAT (Free)
Option 2: Practice National Merit Qualifier Test ($25 Fee Required)
What is the Practice NMSQT?
The Practice NMSQT is a College Board Test which measures critical reading, math, problem solving,
and writing skills developed over a student’s years in school. The National Merit Scholarship Program
is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. 11th grade high school students enter
the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test
(PSAT/NMSQT)—a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each
year—and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements.
What are the benefits to taking the Practice NMSQT as a 10th grader?
While 10th grade students are not eligible to qualify for the National Merit Program, taking
the test as a sophomore provides students with valuable practice to potentially qualify for the
National Merit Program during their junior year. Students can link their scores to Khan Academy and
receive personalized test preparation for the PSAT-10 (spring of 10th grade), PSAT/NMSQT (fall of
11th grade), and SAT (spring of 11th grade). Visit www.nationalmerit.org for more information.
Should my 10th grade student take the Practice NMSQT or the free PSAT?
The answer to this question needs to be decided between you and your student. The PSAT is
designed for students to take in 10th grade; 10th grade students will also take the PSAT-10 in April of
the 2021-2022 school year. The PSAT-10 is the College Board equivalent to the Pre-ACT and will help
students prepare to take the PSAT/NMSQT and SAT in 11th grade. Cherokee Trail will support your
family’s decision for your student to take either test; however, we recommend the following:
9 Students in Honors/Pre-AP/AP Courses and in the top 20% of their class in 10th
grade take the Practice NMSQT or the PSAT
9 Students in grade level/college preparatory classes take the PSATHow to Register for the Optional Practice PSAT/NMSQT
Payment for the Optional Practice PSAT/NMSQT is $25 and is available to all juniors via RevTrak or as
cash/check in RIILFH beginning ILUVWGD\RIVFKRROAugust 1th. A receipt will be given to the student
at time of payment if paying by cash or check.
DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR THE Optional Practice PSAT/NMSQT
IS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER @ 3: PM
*Pay Through RevTrak July 6th - September th via the “Testing” tile
Fee Waivers
The College Board fee waiver program assists qualified, economically disadvantaged students who plan
to take the PSAT/NMSQT or other College Board tests in the future. A student must be enrolled in, or
eligible to participate in, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) in order to receive a fee waiver.
More information about the SAT fee waiver program and eligibility requirements is available here.
Any students who are eligible for a fee waiver and plan to take the PSAT/NMSQT on October 1th must
request a fee waiver from their counselor beginning August 13th, 20.
These students should not register for the PSAT/NMSQT via RevTrak.
