Held on the first Saturday in May, this will be the 3rd Annual MakerFEST, CLF's yearly STEAM Festival celebrating our community's inner genius! CLF schools are now eight programs and six institutions across the State of Maryland serving over 3,200 students K-12! MakerFEST invites these students to participate with staff, parents and our wider CLF STEM community partners to feel encouraged to exhibit and enjoy all the day's inventions, artwork, personal projects, experiments, robots, wild creations, noble attempts, fine solutions to typical problems, and makers making so much more! CLF will also have volunteer opportunities available for anyone who wants to help build the best MakerFEST ever! To register for an exhibition space visit https://www.clfadvancedstudies.org/makerfest For volunteer opportunities visit https://goo.gl/forms/y1qs5zfo8OPOuRo92 This year, the first Saturday in May happens to coincide with May 4th, often celebrated by fans of the widely popular Star Wars franchise. We fundamentally feel obligated since astronomy, space exploration fit all too well into the MakerFEST concept, so Community Partnerships is also encouraging all exhibitors to share their project progress with @CLF_CLF on twitter or @ChesapeakeLighthouseFoundation on Facebook with the hashtag #MayTheFourthBuildWithYou. Until next update, May The Fourth Be With You!

Hello, CMIT Families: This year, the county has adopted new procedures for making quarterly grade changes. The biggest difference is the enforcement of a cutoff date. Third quarter report cards will be distributed on Thursday, April 11th. Please review them closely. If you find that a grade change is warranted, you must complete and submit the attached form to the front office by Friday, April 26th. For more information, review Administrative Procedure 5116, which can be found on the PGCPS website. Respectfully,

Hello, CMIT Families! As of April 1st, students are permitted to wear Crocs as part of their school uniform (but not the gym uniform) as long as they are wearing the straps across the back of the shoe to make sure it is secure to the foot. Other acceptable items in the daily uniform include school polos with CMIT logos in gold or purple, spirit wear tops (including hoodies as long as hoodies are not worn in the building), and Oxfords with logos on special occasions. The only acceptable school bottoms on daily basis are tan khakis or navy blue khakis (not joggers or cargo pants). Gym uniforms include both the gym t-shirt and shirts or shorts, all of which have the CMIT logo. Head coverings are still not permitted unless they are for religious or health reasons. As we approach the end of the school year and the change in weather begins, a growing number of students are testing the limits of this policy. Families, we would appreciate your support to make sure your student is in uniform everyday. Respectfully,

HS Administration

Physics students are continuing with the unit on Simple Harmonic Motion, oscillation, and resonance. The homework problem set is due on Tuesday the 9th due to many students on a field trip on Friday the 5th. BioGeoChem students have a homework assignment: Description Wheel graphic organizer. It is to assist the students with the natural resources predominant on each of the continents. We will continue to focus on human impacts on the global systems of biology, geology, geography, and chemistry.
