Extended Day Programs

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is focused on preparing students to be productive citizens who are equipped with a broad set of skills to be globally competitive. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ Expanded Learning programs provide leadership and direction for academic programs during and outside of the school day so that students who are at risk will be successful through varied opportunities for academic support, enrichment and timely assistance.

The goal of Extended Day is to strategically offer schools meeting the determined criteria the opportunity to provide Extended Day programming with a focus on a portion of the CMS Strategic Plan’s academic goals. Additionally, schools develop their approaches based on analysis of student achievement data, sound pedagogy, student-teacher ratios, and measures of success/impact.

CMS partnership with parents is to ensure academic success for all students. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of these exciting programs and the extra support they provide. If there are questions, parents can call their child’s school.
