Gravel Lot
Lottery: We are opening up the gravel lot to any family! Your
family does not need to have a minimum number of students in your
carpool. Tickets will start at $50.00 per ticket. We are only
adding a limited number of spaces, so get your ticket today. Please stop
by the office and see Cathie Elliott. All proceeds will go
towards the new school building fund.

day. They are allowed to wear jeans and a CIS shirt. Students are
ONLY allowed to wear jeans on the first Friday of the month for casual
day.
Family Friend Initiative: We are
working with UNCC, Jill Morin, to help host International students. UNCC
needs families who are willing to spend time with the International students on
the weekends or weekdays if you have time. They do not live with you,
they just spend time with your family. If you are interested, please
email Trish Valentino at valntinot@ciscoemts.com.
Thank you for your help.
Parking
in Lower Lot: Please park as close as you can to the other cars
when on campus. We need all the space we can get to park. After
3:30pm, parents are not allowed to park in the lower lot and then walk to pick
up their child. Please either stay in the line or enter the gravel lot
lottery. It is not fair to other families if you skip the procedures
already in place. Thank you.
