Please do not drop your students off, you will need to stay with them and follow their schedule and sign them into each class. This is a floating time to allow families the opportunity to visit both campuses during their allotted times. Transportation/Before and After School will not run on this day.
Where:
1st- 8th Grade Students- CGS K-8 Campus

9th-12th Grade Students- Integrity Satellite High School Campus
2420 Corporation Parkway #H, Burlington, NC 27215
All 1st-8th Grade students/families will need to report to the GYM on the K-8 Campus to receive student homeroom assignments, receive information as to "where" this classroom is located, as well as pick up student schedules for students in middle school.
High School students/families will report to the Integrity satellite campus. Please DO NOT PARK in the Hotel Liquidations parking spaces in front of their building. Any of the parking spots in the middle or in front of the building will be ok. Please be mindful that the Preschool will be operating while we are there so please do not park directly in front of Integrity's Preschool Bay. You will see tables set up on the side walk with staff members to give you your student's schedule/direct them as to where to go.
Feedback Form FAQ Document for CGS Families 2023-2024
FAQ Submissions as of 7/9/2023:
Please confirm, students will.only be allowed to get parking passes if a junior or senior? What about the sophomore who has license and can drive to CGS campus with siblings for K-8? Are they not allowed to drive to CGS and ride bus to Integrity?
- Only Juniors and Seniors will be sold a parking pass at this time. Once we are on our permanent high school campus, we will have additional parking made available to include sophomores as well. As for this particular situation referenced, please contact me directly via email to discuss options. Thanks!
Will students have to buy a parking pass for this school year? Since they are parking in a public parking lot i dont think they should have to pay to park.
- Yes, all students parking on any of our campuses (including the temporary Integrity campus) will be required to obtain a parking pass. Other transportation options that do not require a parking pass include signing up for one of our school bus routes or riding AM/PM shuttle option.
I do not know if this is possible but I think it's a good idea to try. Is there anyway we could make the updates on the CGS website available for subscription or have push notifications? This would generate an email to the parents when information is added to the updates section. I happened upon the newest updated, which is packed with information by checking the website for something completely different. My understanding is it was originally posted to Facebook. This prohibits non-Facebook users from following the directions, unless they get lucky and check the website during summer break. Thank you for your time and consideration!
- I will happily send this suggestion over to our website coordinator! Thanks for the idea!
Why do kids have to buy parking passes when they are not on school campus?? Last time I checked this was public parking!
