Greetings Tiger Community, Hello! My name is David Rowland M. Ed. I will be the 5th grade reading teacher for sections 53 and 54 this upcoming year at CMIT South Elementary. I am excited for your child to join my classroom and I know we are all going to have an incredible time and expand our knowledge together! I can’t wait to get to know your child, and I’d also like to share some about myself before we get this year started. This is my fifth year teaching and all of my years have been right here at CMIT South Elementary! I have previously taught reading and social studies in 5th grade as well as 3rd grade math, science, and health and 2nd grade. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Teacher Education (Urban Education) from the University of Delaware and my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Grand Canyon University. My hobbies include listening to and making music (I play piano and guitar), playing and coaching sports (I coached the men’s club volleyball team at Delaware and we won a national championship!), and playing any type of sports video . My favorite color is purple and I love candles (to the point that I may have a slight problem). My approach to teaching is to first build a classroom community and then expand upon those interpersonal relationships to create a rigorous and challenging reading classroom environment for my students. I rely heavily upon communication with parents and am looking forward to your partnership in your child’s educational journey throughout the 5th grade year. Thank you so much for your time, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns throughout the rest of the year! I am looking forward to an awesome year in 5th Grade! In Partnership,

Mr. Rowland

Hello Tigers! My name is Ms. Jenkins, and I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade math, science, and health this year at CMIT South for sections 53 and 54! More importantly, I am thrilled to be your teacher! It will be a fun year of learning and new adventures, and I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us. I was born and raised in Prince George's County. I attended Tiffin University in Ohio and earned a Bachelor's degree. In 2020, I graduated with my Master's at the University of Maryland Global College. As a student-athlete, my academics were always a top priority. I feel like education is a foundation. I believe that a good education provides a solid foundation for kids to be successful in the future. For over 12 years, I've worked in early childhood development and education. I'm excited about this role and looking forward to this school year.

Ms. Jenkins

Latoya Middleton, Student Support and Enrichment I have been supporting students here at CMIT South ES for the last four years. I received my AA in Early Childhood Education from Anne Arundel Community College. I have been working with children of all ages for over twenty years. I am a PGCPS alumnus and I believe in the system and appreciate the privilege to be a part of an organization that strives for excellence in education. Being a member of the CMIT South family is exciting and I’m enthusiastic about all the fun learning opportunities we have in store for our students. The most important aspect of learning is not being afraid to say “I don't know” and teaching is CREATIVITY. When you see me mentoring students you will hear me explaining the “why”. When you see me teaching students you will see paint, markers, crayons, construction paper, and glue. I believe that students retain vital fundamental skills through creative lessons, interactive experiences, and open conversations. I look forward to an amazingly creative, memorable, and blessed school year.

Dear Families, We hope you had a fantastic summer and are ready to see your child grow and learn in Kindergarten. Research states that the more directly parents and guardians are involved in their child’s education, the more successful the child will be in school. So, we are looking forward to being partners with you in making this an exciting and successful year! Kindergarten is a special place where children become acclimated to school culture. Learning school culture will involve learning classroom expectations and routines, engaging in peaceful social interactions, and participating in gaining knowledge about concepts. Kindergarten is the time for establishing dear friendships and learning the importance of being part of a community. Kindergarten is also a time for establishing the academic foundation for first grade. We enjoyed meeting all of the parents, guardians, and family members at our orientation last week. If you were unable to attend, we are looking forward to meeting you in the near future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child’s classroom teacher. Our names and e-mail addresses are listed below. You may also communicate by sending notes via Class Dojo. We look forward to working closely with you all this school year!
