Message from Superintendent Christopher M. Lowder Ed. D.
Happy New Year and welcome to the second half
of the 2017-2018 school year!
weather procedures included in this issue. Our
primary goal is to ensure the safety of our
students and staff, so as we are making decisions
about delaying or cancelling school, we always
err on the side of caution. You can also find this
information on our district website. Let’s use our
momentum to finish the school year strong.
In this issue, we are celebrating many successes,
including grants awarded to schools to implement
innovative programs and we are shining the
spotlight on our students’ giving spirit and
community service.
Sincerely,
Congratulations also are in order for Judy York,
teacher assistant at Rocky River Elementary
School, who was named the Cabarrus County
Schools 2017-2018 Teacher Assistant of the Year!
Chris
Chris Lowder, Ed.D.
We are also sharing seasonal information as a
reminder about school delays and cancellations.
Please take a few minutes to review our inclement
2017-2018 Student Calendar
