Hello Panther Family! As our district continues to grow and improve, we recognize that effective communication is essential. It's a key part of all four foundations in our strategic planning process—and your input is critical. We want to better understand how you prefer to receive information, what topics matter most to you, how often you’d like to hear from us, and other important aspects of communication. This survey is designed for parents/guardians, students, staff, administration and community members to share their perspectives. The feedback we gather will directly shape our communication strategies and guide the development of action steps within our strategic plan. Your voice matters in helping us move forward together. Thank you in advance for your time and input. We will share the results of the survey after it closes on May 24. Please use the link below to access the survey. https://forms.gle/iMHNKG7jWvhAier97

Agriculture students from CCHS brought flats of flowers to their neighbors at Cartmell Elementary School today. The Cartmell second grade classes will use the flowers for scientific observations, drawing pictures of the flowers and studying variables.
The Carroll County Board of Education approved the 2025-2026 school calendar at its meeting Thursday, setting an earlier start to the academic year and incorporating required flexibility for potential weather disruptions.
Staff will report on August 4, with students returning to the classroom on August 6. Among the highlights of the new calendar are a full week off for Thanksgiving and an end-of-year target date of May 27 for students, followed by a May 28 closing day for staff.
The calendar committee considered several options before finalizing the plan, including how to comply with a state law requiring districts to build in the maximum number of make-up days used over the past five years. For Carroll County, that number is currently seven—matching the number of instructional days lost in the current school year.
While the calendar includes the possibility of a two-week spring break, families should be aware that the first week—March 30 through April 3—is not guaranteed time off. Those five days are designated as make-up days and will be used for instruction if necessary.
“Parents and guardians should not plan as if those days of March 30–April 3 are guaranteed,” Chief Operating Officer/Director of Pupil Personnel Mark Willhoite cautioned. “If we experience weather or sickness disruptions before that time, those days will be used to keep us on track.”
If the district doesn’t need all of its built-in make-up days, students and staff will enjoy an extended spring break. But as always, that depends on what the winter months bring.
