Greetings CMIT Families and Staff, We have made it through a pandemic! With our teamwork, perseverance, and dedication to our scholars, they were able to accomplish so many things this year. Just to name a few, we were awarded 2nd place in the MESA competition. We were also awarded two-grand prizes, three-first place prizes , one-second place prize, one-third place prize, and one-ESFCU Supervisor award in the PGCPS STEM Fair. In addition, we were also certified a Kindness School. I am very grateful to my wonderful parents who were flexible, understanding, and willing to volunteer their time for the many events we hosted virtually this year. You all are simply amazing! I am asking all of my CMIT families and staff members to take this time off to relax, enjoy your family, and recuperate because we will be back in school before you know it. Have a wonderful summer!

Dear Prince George’s County Public Schools Community, As we prepare to end the 2020-21 school year, I look forward to the fall with great excitement for the opportunity to reconnect with our students, families, educators, administrators and staff. You have shown an incredible sense of community and resilience during these challenging times and I am proud of what we have accomplished together. Looking ahead to next school year, our goal is to have students back in our buildings this fall — full-time and in-person daily. Our staff had the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and we encourage students who are 12 years old and up to get the vaccine now that it is available. In line with guidance from the Maryland State Department of Education and State Board of Education, hybrid instruction will be discontinued this fall. We understand that families of children who are not yet eligible for a vaccine may have concerns about sending their child back to school. We will offer a limited virtual learning option for students in kindergarten through sixth grade for the fall semester. We are also excited to announce a new PGCPS Online Campus for students in seventh through 12th grades. The Online Campus is designed for those who thrived during virtual learning this past school year and want to continue in a virtual learning environment with live and recorded instruction. This will be an application-based program with limited slots. Please note that students who are not able to attend in-person learning due to medical reasons may apply for Home and Hospital teaching. I invite you to join me Wednesday, June 9 at 5 p.m. for a Telephone Town Hall to learn more about our fall plans. Parents and guardians will automatically receive a call from the school system. You may also join by calling 844-734-8766. Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish will be available by calling 508-924-5155.

The last day of school for ALL students is officially Tuesday, June 15th. Both Monday and Tuesday are instructional days with a 2 hour early dismissal schedule. Monday-Tuesday Hybrid cohort students are expected to be in-person on both days as well. The school day will begin at 7:35am and end at 12:25pm on both days. Enjoy your summer and we look forward to the next school year!!!

Mrs. Virgil, Principal Secretary

In the words of Dora: "We did it, we did it, we did it, yeah!!!" We made it to the last couple of days of school. The kindergarten team would like to thank everyone for their patience this year. With your help, we managed to teach your scholars to be independent and tech savvy. This was all done while working through technical issues and learning websites and programs. Let's not forget, that you also helped them with their schooling at home. It was truly a team effort this year. We will dismiss 2 hrs early on both the 14th and 15th. Dismissal will be at 12:25 p.m.. Tuesday, June 15th is the last day of school. Promotion bag pick up will be on the 14th and 15th from 8:30-11:30am We hope you have a wonderful summer.

The Kindergarten Team

Dear 1st Grade Parents, As we end the school year, we'd like to thank all of you for your support in helping our scholars achieve and grow during this crazy year! We had so much fun learning and even though we had to adjust to distance learning, we had an incredibly successful year. Please remember to keep up the good work over the summer vacation: read, write, think, do math, explore, and help fuel your child's inquiry and growth. Don't forget that Monday and Tuesday (6/14-6/15) will be a 2 hour early dismissal for students. We will also be doing our Solar Oven project on those days so please accumulate materials if you haven't done so already: pizza box, black construction paper, tin foil, plastic wrap, tape, and s'mores ingredients (graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate). We will construct the ovens on Monday and cook our s'mores on Tuesday! Have a wonderful summer and we'll see you in the fall!

First Grade Team

We made it! We are so proud of all our students for making it through a very different and difficult year. A huge thank you to all the families and friends who made that possible. Next week we will be meeting on Monday and Tuesday. On both days, students will be dismissed two hours early. Tuesday is the last day of school for the year. We hope you have a great summer and we will see everyone in the Fall!

- The Second Grade Team

This school year will be the one to remember. The third grade team would like to send a BIG congratulations to all third graders for making it to the end of third grade. You have all demonstrated what it means to be a Roaring Tiger. This school year you worked really hard and we are so proud of you. Thank you parents for your support during these times as well. Next week, we will spend the time reflecting on our journey this school year. We will do some culminating activities to wrap up the school year. Just a friendly reminder that June 14th and June 15th are 2 hour early dismissals. We want to wish everyone a happy and safe summer. Take some time to relax, enjoy the sun and make some memories this summer. See you next school year!

Third Grade Team

This week in RELA and Social Studies- we will be completing fun review activities to finish out the year! This week in Math and in Science- we will be making up work that students are missing. Have an amazing summer! We will miss our scholars!

Your friendly neighborhood 4th grade team

This has been a very different year, but you all ROCKED it! Congratulations and much success to you in your new venture in middle school. We are so very proud of you and cannot wait to hear about your accomplishments.

5th Grade Team

Please ensure that all missing or incomplete work is turned in prior to Monday. Reach out to any of us if you need anything as we need to have grades published for the 4th quarter by Tuesday and we will need time to grade and update SchoolMax. Make sure that you contact any of us if you have questions on specific grades, but check SchoolMax for the most accurate grades and to see what work is missing. The specials team would like to wish you all an AWESOME Summer Break! Use the summer to rest, relax, and reset for the 2021-2022 school year. The last year of school has been different, but you got through it amazingly and you should be proud of what you were able to accomplish this year. HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AND SEE YOU IN AUGUST!
