On July 15th, PGCPS Superintendent, Dr. Goldson shared the 2020-2021 Reopening Plan for students, teachers, and staff. It was shared that students will begin the school year with distance learning and conditions will be reassessed in the winter to determine if and when students can return to the building. We will follow PGCPS guidelines and implement live, online instruction. However, please be advised that our curriculum is different from PGCPS, hence our schedules may differ because we are a STEAM-focused school. Some students may not have access to a device to participate in distance learning. If your child does not have a device at home, procedures for borrowing technology will be forthcoming. Virtual distance learning orientation sessions will be held in August for students and parents. These sessions will provide pertinent information to ensure students’ success. During these sessions, we will discuss school-wide expectations, policies and procedures, and strategies to motivate our scholars. In addition, a tutorial on navigating our online platforms will be shared as a resource that can be used as needed. I am very excited for the 2020-2021 school year. Our theme is “Putting the T.E.C.H. in Technology: Teaching Evidence-based, Critical-Thinking Habits.” We will achieve this by reasoning, evaluating, analyzing, and problem-solving (R.E.A.P.ing). Please continue to check your emails for our school newsletter with updates and important information needed for the 2020-2021 school year. Sincerely, Dr. Tenika Fryson, Principal

Administration

In order to promote an educational environment in the virtual classroom, students will be required to attend classes in their CMIT school uniform or spirit wear. Thank you for your support.

Hey Tiger Family! Can you believe it's almost time to head (virtually) back to school? Although things will be different, we expect to have another amazing year, but we can only do it with your help! The CMIT North Elementary administration has asked for our help to ensure that every CMIT North Elementary student is provided with the IXL math program. The only way that this can happen is through our membership drive! PTO membership is the best way to ensure that your voice is heard and to be an active member in the CMIT-NES community! Membership is ONLY $21. You may choose to donate $30, $40, or $50 and ALL of your donations will go straight to our technology fund and you will receive a free PTO membership! Click the link below to join. http://www.cmitelementarypto.com/store/c2/PTO_Membership.html Did you know that spirit wear can be worn instead of our uniform polos! Grab your Tiger a comfy t-shirt or hoodie to wear during distance learning from our spirit wear shop! 15% of proceeds will go towards our fundraising goals. The spirit wear store can be found at: https://teamlocker.squadlocker.com/#/lockers/cmit-north-elementary-spiritwear?_k=r85vva Keep in touch with the PTO and all of your fellow CMIT North parents on Facebook.
