In celebration, the cheer team will have school spirit items for sale, in support of our home basketball teams. Items will be sold in the foyer area of the gym on game days.

On Monday, 11/20 from 1:30 until the end of school, our students will compete in the school-wide spelling bee to see who the top speller at CMIT Academy North Middle School is!

Last week all students participated in classroom bees, and each class is sending 2 top spellers to compete.

Parents of participants (of the school-wide bee) parents should have received an invitation to attend. If you're unable to attend (or you just want to see how amazing our students are), the school-wide bee will be live broadcast at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1txZnrhuCo

This is a reminder that students attending the field trip to the Newseum on Monday, November 20th need to wear their oxfords and uniform pants. No food or drinks are allowed into the building, so please have $10-20 to purchase lunch from the cafeteria.

Please keep in mind that there is a security checkpoint when we enter the building. To help keep the students moving, please do not plan on bringing a bag of any sort unless it is necessary.

We will be leaving the building around 8:20, if you do not arrive to school on time, you risk the bus leaving without you.

For those students who did not have their picture taken earlier this month, the retake date has been set for Thursday, November 30th. Please make sure to come in your oxfords and ties, as this is the required yearbook photo attire.

Dear Parents of Seniors,

Congratulations on your child beginning his or her senior year at Chesapeake Math and IT Academy North High School! Before you know it, they will have graduated from here and will be on their way to college. What better way to congratulate them on this major accomplishment than by purchasing a Senior Advertisement?

Each senior ad is in full color and is designed to be a one-of-a-kind memory. We will combine cherished, and possibly embarrassing photographs with your message of congratulations, love, and support to create a completely personalized ad design. Some parents choose to keep their ad a surprise until yearbooks are handed out. Just indicate that the ad is secret and only those on the yearbook staff will know!

This year, time is of the essence and we will only be able to accept ad reservations until Wednesday, December 6, 2017 or until spaces run out. The sizes and prices are as follows:

$70 for a ½ page ad. For this size, we highly recommend a maximum of 5 photographs and up to 75 words. If you submit less photos, you can include a longer message, up to 125 words.

$40 for a ¼ page ad. For this size, we highly recommend a maximum of 2 photographs and up to 50 words. If you submit less photos, you can include a longer message, up to 75 words.

In order to reserve a spot, please complete this form:
https://goo.gl/forms/jfhSGJGoHOMdFJQ02


We would like to thank you in advance for buying an ad for your child, and supporting the yearbook. Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing us at yearbook@cmitacademy.org.

Kind regards,

Did you capture some great shots during a sporting event, field trip, or even during school? If so, the yearbook would love to see them and possibly use them in this year's book!

Please help us get more smiles in the yearbook by uploading your photos of school events to community.lifetouch.com and creating an account using the school code PLDHZS.
