Mr. Vincent DeVivo visited CMIT on Thursday, May 5, 2016 and gave a phenomenal presentation on how best to protect our students from Internet predators, cyber bullying and other negative online influences. Whether you consider yourself an expert or a novice when it comes to social media, most walked away from the presentation with a different perception of how dangerous it can be for our children to access the World Wide Web without proper supervision and oversight. As a Community Outreach Specialist at the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, Mr. DeVivo spoke about real life scenarios and the damaging consequences that result when prevention and intervention strategies are not discussed or practiced in and outside of our households. A handout containing helpful information that can safeguard our students while using social media for fun or education was made available at the presentation. Hard copies are available at the school as well as the attached electronic format. We hope to have Mr. DeVivo return in the fall to share this informative presentation with our school community as we continue to promote a safe and healthy learning environment at CMIT.

Please take time to review the presentation at the link below:

Volunteers are needed to help remove English ivy from Whitemarsh Park. As an invasive, non-native plant, English ivy spreads quickly and easily, and is very destructive to native ecosystems. This is an outdoor activity that requires cutting the ivy vines at eye-level and foot-level then pulling them back about two feet from the base of the tree to bag them.

To participate, please register by contacting Kristin Larson (klarson@cityofbowie.org, 301-809-3044). Tiffany Wright (Watershed Manager for the City of Bowie) or Kristin Larson (Sustainability Planner for the City of Bowie) will sign off on service learning hours for students at the event.

We will offer High School Summer School courses here at CMIT. The program will run from July 5 - August 11. The cost per course will be $225. These courses are to be taken if a student is unable to pass a current year (Math, English, or Spanish) course. The courses can not be taken for original credit. It can't be the first time the student is taking the course. Taking Summer School courses will help students to stay on track to meet graduation credit requirements and be promoted to the next grade level.

Courses offered; Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, English 9, English 10, English 11, Spanish 1, Spanish 2.

The courses will be offered through an online blended program. Each course will have a mandatory teacher session once per week - 9 am - 12 pm. Attendance is mandatory for these sessions. Students may also come to the school, Monday-Thursday - 9 am - 12 pm to work on school computers. Students should be completing at least 3-4 hours of work daily on the computer either at school or at home.

A hard copy of the Summer School registration packet must be submitted to the CMIT front office. If a student has already failed a course for this school year and plans to take a Summer School course please complete and submit the packet and a $25 deposit by June 3rd. This will help us coordinate the number of teachers needed for the Summer School program. The final payment deadline for all Summer School courses will be July 1st.
