A note from principal cline
Dear Charger Family,
Thank you to our students that joined us for the Grade Level Meetings last week. If your student has not completed the spring Panorama Survey, please have them do so immediately. Here is the survey link and your student should enter their CMS ID when it asks for an access code. The survey content will ask students to self reflect on their own social emotional learning skills, like self-management and self-efficacy. Should you choose to opt out, please notify danieller.south@cms.k12.nc.us
CMS Spring Break runs from April 11-15 and there is a CMS Teacher Workday on April 18. NCVPS does not have a scheduled spring break; however, students taking NCVPS classes should reach out to their NCVPS teacher to create an assignment schedule that incorporates the CMS Spring Break.
Please note the following 2022 AP Exam Schedule. All AP exams are taken in person at CMVHS and a survey will be going out to determine transportation needs.
Please follow us on the following platforms:
