Enroll

Rea Farms STEAM Academy is a FULL MAGNET school. Seats at Rea Farms are assigned by the CMS Lottery.  
To learn more about the magnet lottery, go to https://www.cmsk12.org/academics/school-choice. 

 

Magnet Lottery

Magnet seats at Rea Farms are awarded by lottery. The lottery usually takes place in late fall for the next academic year. Results are sent to the school and families in January. Students who win magnet seats are assigned to Rea Farms.  Students who do not win magnet seats are placed on a wait list.  There is a separate wait list for each grade level.  If a magnet seat becomes available (i.e., student declines the seat), we will call a student from the waitlist. About ten days after the academic year begins, the magnet office dissolves the wait list.  For more information about CMS magnet schools and the lottery, please visit https://www.cmsk12.org/academics/school-choice. 

 

Transcripts/Records Requests

Submit a written request for a current student's transcript/records to the data manager well in advance of the date needed.  It may take a week or more to send records requests during peak times.

 

• Drop off paper transcript requests or teacher recommendation forms in the school office. Attn: Data Manager.
• Email electronic records requests to mary1.keifer@cms.k12.nc.us.
  Legal offices should contact CMS Student Records, 4335 Stuart Andrew Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28217 or email studentrecords@cms.k12.nc.us for instructions to subpoena student records. 

 

Update Phone Numbers, Email Addresses
Please email your child's teacher and the school office if your primary phone number and/or email address changes.  Keeping contact information up to date means that the school can reach you in an emergency.
