CMS Transportation

Just days away! Join us for Charlotte‑Mecklenburg Schools’ first‑ever Health & Wellness Fair with Novant Health—with resources for healthy minds, bodies, and lives. Open to all CMS families and staff.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education has approved a calendar change for all schools on the traditional academic calendar for Friday, May 1, 2026. We are sharing this information in advance, so families have time to make necessary arrangements.

All elementary, middle and high schools on the traditional academic calendar will observe a teacher workday. There will be no school for students at these schools.

All UNCC Early Colleges and CPCC Early and Middle Colleges will operate as normal, with no changes to their schedules.

We are aware that many educators across North Carolina plan to participate in a statewide day of advocacy in Raleigh focused on public education. As a result, we anticipate a high number of staff absences across the district, along with a limited number of substitute teachers to provide coverage.

To ensure we can prioritize student safety and maintain appropriate supervision, we are proactively adjusting the schedule.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools remains committed to supporting our educators and ensuring every student has access to a high-quality learning environment. We also recognize the importance of civic engagement and advocacy for the future of public education.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

Reminder for Families & Staff

Friday, March 20, is a Teacher Workday.
There will be no classes for students.

After closely monitoring weather conditions and in coordination with local and state officials, all Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) will be closed for students on Monday, March 16, 2026. Because this instructional day is waived by the Superintendent, we will not be using a designated make-up instructional day on the 2025-26 academic calendar.

Please note:
–All before-school and after-school programs (BSEP and ASEP) are canceled.
–All Community Use of Schools activities are canceled.
–Athletic events and extracurricular activities will be rescheduled. Updated dates will be shared as soon as possible.

We will continue to monitor National Weather Service updates and keep families informed of any district or school schedule changes through the CMS website, on social media, and via ParentSquare (email, text, and phone call), if necessary.

Draft Response to the 2024 Comprehensive Review Meetings:
–All community input sessions will be rescheduled. More information will be provided as to when the sessions will be rescheduled.

The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our top priority. Thank you for your continued support of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

As Love The Bus Week comes to a close, our appreciation does not.

Today may mark the last official day of celebration, but we will continue to honor, support, and love our bus drivers every single day. Thank you for showing up early, staying late, and safely transporting our students with care and dedication.

We don’t just love the bus this week, we love our drivers all year long. 🚌💛
