Summer Programs Begin

Given the uncertainty of the impact of the coronavirus in North Carolina and our area, we will need as much flexibility in the scheduling of days of school as possible. This includes the elimination or rescheduling of vacation, staff work, professional development and school days. Families will be notified as soon as possible of changes to the calendar.

Religious Holidays: We recognize and want to support CFS families and staff who observe various religious holidays. Teachers do their best to accommodate students who miss school for such occasions.

Inclement weather: In the case of bad weather, we support parental decisions to pick up early/keep your child at home. Road conditions vary widely in our area.
