To our families of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools,

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! Thank you for choosing Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to serve your family.

All of us here in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are committed to charting endless possibilities for our students every day so that they can graduate and leave us enlisted, enrolled or employed.

The Parent-Student Handbook is a great resource that includes information about a variety of topics such as family engagement, student services, school meal options, transportation and how you can stay informed about school delays and cancellations. I do ask that you and your student(s) take time to review this handbook thoroughly. If you have any questions about the handbook, please call your school directly.

As we get ready to embark on another successful year of school, we are excited to announce our new Strategic Plan that will guide our work for the next five years. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is future-focused and community-driven. We are eager to work with you to ensure your child’s safety, academic success and social well-being. We want our schools to be both great and safe places for our students to learn and grow.

Thank you again for putting your trust in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. We look forward to partnering with you and your student(s) because endless possibilities start with CMS!

Sincerely, 

Crystal L. Hill, Ed.D.
Superintendent
