  • Absences

    Regular and full attendance is essential to a strong academic year and growth for all students. We ask that families please do their best to schedule events and appointments outside of the school calendar and daily hours to ensure our students have full access to instructional time throughout the year. In the event that your child is or will be absent, please notify our Attendance Secretary, Ms. Isabel Velazquez, by email (isabel1.velasquez@cms.k12.nc.us). Please notify us within 48 hours of the absence to help ensure accurate records for your student & our teachers.

    Transportation

    Eligibility - CMS will provide transportation services for eligible students to and from their residence address. It is important that you maintain an accurate residence address for every student attending school. Address changes are only processed at your assigned school.

    If you choose to attend your original lottery assigned school and it is not in your zone, you will not receive transportation. If you change your address after your assignment, you have the option of attending your new home school or your original lottery assigned school. However, if you choose to attend your lottery assigned school and it is not the home school for your new address, you will not receive transportation.

    Please note: Conditions such as grandfathered students and/or students who may have relocated from one address to another may establish different transportation eligibility criteria. Individual student situations may vary and not all conditions may apply to the above general statement.
