    Polo Ridge Elementary's own events calendar, published by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, was read on September 13, 2026 — nothing is hand-entered. The school posted 296 dates of its own; the other 29 are the district's published Traditional School Calendar, which applies to every school in it. It links to the school's calendar page and to a calendar file you can add to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Schools do revise their calendars, so confirm with the school before making plans.
