Dear CMS Families, Staff, Students, and Community,
The National Weather Service has updated its forecast and is predicting 5 to 8 inches of rainfall between 5:00 PM today and 3:00 AM tomorrow. With significant precipitation already received last week, several water retention areas throughout the city and county are currently at or nearing capacity. Given the potential for flooding and hazardous roadway conditions, Clovis Municipal Schools will transition to virtual/remote instruction tomorrow, Wednesday, September 30, 2026. This decision is being made out of an abundance of caution to keep our students, families, staff, and school buses off potentially unsafe roadways. Students and staff should not report to school buildings tomorrow and will instead participate in classes virtually. Additional information regarding virtual instruction will be communicated by schools as necessary.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our CMS community.
