​Scholarship Reporting Form

We want to inform you of an important change coming for the next school year. Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, all public schools in the state of North Carolina will have transitioned from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus as our new Student Information System (SIS). Infinite Campus will serve as the primary platform for managing student data, including grades, attendance, and schedules for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

As we move closer to the transition, we will share additional information, including how to access the new Infinite Campus Parent Portal, App, and other resources to help you navigate the system.

Our objective is to facilitate a seamless transition with minimal impact, and we truly appreciate your support throughout this process. Thank you for partnering with us to support our students!

If you are having a tech issue, please fill out the Tech Issue Form. This will help issues be addressed as quickly as possible and help us keep up with our record keeping since there are only two of us handling these issues. Emails are harder to keep up with and do not leave a paper trail that everyone can access.

If you are having a Teams issue is please fill out the Teams Issue form. These issues are harder for us to troubleshoot in-house, but we are sending these request to the district for support.

Both of these forms are linked on the Tech Help page, which all students and parents have access to through links on all canvas pages and the CMVS website.

Please utilize these forms rather than emailing teachers and staff.
