Most students will start classes on Monday, Aug. 23.

Other start dates include:

• Monday, Aug. 2 -- Ninth graders enrolled in year-round high schools

For the first five weeks of school, or until updated CDC guidance is released with different recommendations, all CMSD students, employees and school visitors, including those who are fully vaccinated, will be expected to continue wearing masks at school and during indoor school events and activities.

Most students will not be required to wear formal uniforms this school year. A uniform will be required only if it is part of the school’s model. Guidelines on appropriate clothing for school will be announced soon. 

We continue to operate our Virtual Academy, which permits students to view lessons at times that fit their or their family’s schedule. This year, we will add a formal, live remote school that is staffed by CMSD teachers and educators. For more information on these options, talk to an enrollment specialist at 216-838-3675.
