Due to the severe weather, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will be closed for students on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Students will not report to school. All CMS staff will report to work at 11 a.m.

For schools on the traditional calendar, the make-up day for students will be Friday, Feb. 20. The student make-up day for Project L.I.F.T. Continuous Learning Schools Walter G. Byers and Bruns Academy will be Friday, March 17. Druid Hills and Thomasboro academies will not make up the student day because they already have 19 additional days built into their calendar.

While many roadways and CMS campuses are clear, weather reports indicate there may be black ice and refreezing, which could cause roads to be unsafe during the early morning. Despite day-long efforts to remove ice from parking lots and walkways at school campuses in all nine learning communities, there is still significant amounts of dangerous ice in many areas. Five tons of ice melt have been used thus far and 750 pounds will be spread tonight and tomorrow. Approximately, 50 school campuses continue to have limited access due to the ice. The goal is to provide safe access for staff by 11 a.m. Tuesday.
