Service As Action Students in the Middle Years Program (MYP) are expected to complete Service As Action activities, which may arise from classroom lessons or students’ individual interests. These activities occur outside the school hours and must be documented and reflected upon at the end of each semester. A Service As Action (SA) activity is anything that benefits other people or groups and for which you do not receive payment or a grade. The activity can be something you do through your school (such as tutoring, clubs you are a member of, or campus beautification) or can be something completely separate from your school (such as working with Crisis Assistance Ministry or participating in a neighborhood cleanup).

Lottery Methodology for School Options • Guarantees - Sibling Guarantee - Continuation Guarantee • Priorities - Transportation Zone - Proximity Priority - SES Priority - assigns students a priority for seats designated as either low, medium or high SES based on a student’s block group and family reported data - School Performance Priority - provides a priority for students attending a home school designated by the state as low performing for three consecutive years
Special Programs - Horizons The Horizons Program is available to highly and profoundly gifted students whose educational needs require extreme differentiation and acceleration. Contact Advanced Studies / Talent Development Department for more information – participation is through an application process, not through the lottery.
Special Programs - Extensions The Extensions Program (formally known as SAC and AU) provides specially designed instruction in self- contained classrooms where students are taught the NC Extended Content Standards of the Common Core. These standards are designed for students significantly impacted by a variety of disabling conditions to ensure these students have access to challenging instruction linked to the NC Standard Course of Study. Magnet seats are available for qualifying students in the blue or green transportation zones.
FAQ Q : How do I enter CMS School Choice? You apply for a magnet seat by submitting an application online. Go to the CMS website to locate the link for the lottery application. If you are a new CMS family and have enrolled your student(s) by December 10, 2018, you will be mailed a letter with your student’s ID number and PIN. If your child is a current CMS student, you will receive a letter with your student’s ID number and PIN from your current school. This ID number is also located on the student’s report card or progress report or may be obtained at the student’s school.
經常問的問題 Q : How are seats in CMS School Choice allocated? A : All available CMS School Choice seats will be allocated across three socioeconomic status (SES) categories, high, medium and low, to achieve the greatest socioeconomic diversity possible. Each student will have priority for one of these categories based on home address and data families will be asked to provide during the lottery application.
preguntas frecuentes Q : How many CMS School Choice programs can be selected on the application? A : You may select up to three. Selections must be ranked by the applicant in order of which is desired most. Q: If my child is not assigned to a CMS School Choice seat, will he or she have another chance? A: Yes, all applicants who are not assigned during the lottery process will be “wait listed” for their first choice option. If students decide not to take their lottery seat, students on the wait list will be seated in the order they are listed. Applicants will be wait listed for their first choice only.
