Moving during the Summer?

Relocating Within CMCSS

If your family is relocating within the district, make sure to visit your zoned school or the Enrollment Center before school starts in August to complete the transfer process.

Relocating to a New District

If your family is relocating to a different school district or state during the summer, enroll in the new district and provide them with the contact information of your previous school. The new school will reach out to CMCSS to request your records or give you further instructions.

To avoid processing delays, please verify that all fees are settled and current by checking PowerSchool or contacting the Accounting Department at Business Affairs at 931-920-7816. They can also assist in returning any unused lunch money. Remember to return any laptops and chargers to First Aid at Gracey Avenue. This will ensure that your records are promptly forwarded to your new school.

For additional questions regarding transfers or summer withdrawals, contact the Enrollment Center at 931-542-5078.
