In a message sent to parents Thursday just before noon, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools said all students would be in remote, asynchronous learning Friday ahead of predicted winter weather.
CMS officials wrote: "Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools families, due to a winter storm predicted for North Carolina and Mecklenburg County, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will implement a full day of remote learning on Friday, January 10, 2025. Schools will be closed for teaching and learning.
The full day of remote learning will include asynchronous instruction only, which means students will have assignments that they will take home on Thursday, January 9 that they will need to complete independently and turn in on Monday, January 13. Students will not need to log on to their devices to meet with teachers or experience live instruction on Friday."
