Chatham County Schools will operate on a remote learning day for students and staff on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Additionally, all CCS buildings are closed, and after school events and athletics are also canceled.
After consulting with the National Weather Service, local DOT, and emergency management personnel, this decision was made due to the impending dangerous road conditions as a result of yesterday’s winter storm, and extreme cold temperatures overnight.
Please check your email or our website, www.chatham.k12.nc.us on how to prepare for a remote learning day. Any specific questions related to remote learning expectations should be directed to your child’s teacher.
Please stay safe and warm!
