CMES Students Learn About Prosthetics
Cox Mill Elementary students learned about prosthetics and
orthodontics during a special presentation by Hangar Clinic. The
presentation followed along with a nonfiction reading unit where
students learned about animals with prosthetics. Hangar Clinic
worked with Winter the dolphin, featured in the movie Dolphin Tale,
to create her prosthetic tail. Clinic representatives brought in one
of her tails for students to see the process of creating a prosthesis
from beginning to end for both humans and animals.

School Cancellations, Delays and Early Dismissals
Cabarrus County Schools
wants to help parents,
staff and the community
prepare for any changes
to the school schedule
that might occur as
a result of inclement
weather or other
emergency situations. and employees safe.
The superintendent uses
information obtained
from weather forecasts
and district personnel
about road conditions
when determining
whether school should
be cancelled, delayed, or
dismissed early due to
severe weather. Please keep in mind that no announcement means school is operating
on a normal schedule. However, when school must be dismissed early
or is closed, parents should make arrangements for childcare, as the
KIDS:PLUS after-school and before-school programs will not operate
that day.
Decisions about delaying
or canceling school or dismissing school early as a result of inclement
weather or even the threat of inclement weather are never easy.
However, we always err on the side of caution to keep our students
