Attention: Unplanned Early Release Dismissal for CMS & CHS Only - Due to an unforeseen issue with the HVAC system at Calhoun Middle and High Schools, CMS and CHS students ONLY will be dismissed at 11:15AM today. Repairs to the system are currently underway but require shutting down the HVAC system. Due to today's forecast and heat index, it is in the best interest of student safety for an early dismissal for CMS and CHS. School nutrition is prepared to provide grab and go lunches for students at the Campus before they leave. All other schools will follow their regular schedule today, and CCS extracurricular activities remain unaffected. Buses will begin taking CMS and CHS students home at 11:15 AM. We apologize for the short notice, but this situation is beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding and support!

It's never too late to build great habits! As we wrap up August, let's keep that strong attendance going. Every day counts, Jackets! 🐝 United We Stand. Together We Swarm! #SchoolAttendance #ProudToBeAYellowJacket
