Prayer for the month of December
All-powerful God, increase our strength of will for doing good that Christ may find an eager welcome at his coming this Christmas and call us to his side in the kingdom of heaven, where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.

COVID Protocols and Procedures: If a student is going to be out of school due to COVID (positive test and/or exposure), please contact Kathie Holder, CCHS school nurse at kaholder@charlottecatholic.com or 704-543-0139.

Attendance
24-hour Attendance Hotline 704-716-2418
* Please follow these procedures *
Early Dismissal: If your student needs early dismissal, please have them bring a note to the attendance office first thing in the morning with their name and exact time of dismissal. This will allow your student to leave school without a parent entering the building to sign them out.
Return to school after an absence: A parent note is needed for documentation after any student absence.
Reminder from the Attendance Office regarding disruptions to the school day:
In addition to a high number of students arriving late to school, there has been an excessive amount of last minute requests for dismissals for appointments during the school day. We understand that sometimes appointments during the school day may be unavoidable, however we ask that, as much as possible, families plan ahead and physical notes are brought to the attendance office in the morning before homeroom, and that dismissals are planned so that the times are at class change. It is very disruptive to have so many students coming and going during class time.

The school Cafeteria is open before school, during break and all 3 lunches. Cash or a student account may be used for purchase.
