2015-2016 Early Release Days
CMS has included four early release days on the 2015-16 school calendar. The early release days will allow our teachers time to participate in professional development workshops that will enhance their knowledge and skills.
On Early Release Days CMS will provide brown-bag lunches for students. CMS buses will complete the end-of-day routes when students are dismissed for the day.

Early Release Day - After School Care Information
If your student is already enrolled in an After School Enrichment Program (ASEP), there is no need to take any action.
The ASEP will be able to accommodate any family that needs assistance. You will have to play a $25.00, one time, registration fee and each day your child attends the After School Program on the Early Release Days, the cost will be $20.00.
If you need assistance for your child on these dates, please contact our ASEP site coordinator, Jaslyn Hearn-Neal at 980-343-9915 or by email - jaslynn.hearn@cms.k12.nc.us - at least two weeks prior to the dates to make necessary arrangements.
