We have communicated with all NCVPS teachers to let them know that CMS Spring Break is April 14-April 21. Teachers will be flexible with our students during that week regrading due dates and assignment submission.

We HIGHLY encourage students to reach out to individual teachers as well just to ensure there is a mutual undersanding.

Please note: Because students in NCVPS classes are from all over the state of NC with varying spring break dates, most course calendars will continue to show that assignments are due during CMS Spring Break.

If you are a current 8th - 11th grade student (rising 9th - 12th), now is the time for you to review your 2025 - 2026 course selections and make any final adjustments to them prior to your schedule being finalized for the next school year.

• Please READ all the instructions then complete the online process - CMVS 2025 - 2026 Course Request Change Instructions.

• If you would like to request a change, go to this link CMVS 2025 - 2026 Course Request Change Form and complete the form. This form will close at NOON on Friday, March 21, 2025.

Please remember, we aim to get schedules as final as possible – BUT things are still subject to change based on adjustments we have to make over the summer. Schedule changes will not be permitted in August, so please take advantage of this opportunity.

Please reach out to your assigned school counselor if you have any questions. Have a great day!
