Inclement Weather Information

Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. The CMCSS Operations Department is closely monitoring the Winter Storm Warning issued by the National Weather Service for this evening and tomorrow morning. As a reminder, in the event of inclement weather this school year, traditional students will transition to remote learning. With 1:1 laptops, the district is prepared throughout the academic year to provide remote instruction if there are building closures due to COVID-19, inclement weather, or other emergencies. Last summer, CMCSS received a waiver from the Commissioner of Education to use inclement weather stockpile days at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year to allow for a delayed start. If school buildings are closed, the CMCSS Communications Department will use SchoolMessenger to notify families via call, text, and email. Parents and guardians can use the Parent Self-Service Portal at parents.cmcss.net to update contact information throughout the year. The district also will share inclement weather closure updates on official CMCSS social media accounts, www.cmcss.net, and local media. Please ensure that you check your sources when viewing school closure information on social media.
