FACTS Login

Charlotte Preparatory School utilizes the FACTS system to coordinate and share school information. It is an online tool that benefits both parents and students. For parents, it is a place to keep up with the latest happenings at school, ordering lunches, paying school bills, filling out permission slips, and more. For students, it is a place to check on assignments and grades.

    • Please don’t select the name of the food place, simply select the menu item choice instead.
    • Please pay online if at all possible as this streamlines the ordering process.
