ATTENDANCE MATTERS! Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. When your scholar is absent, a parent or guardian must fill out the following link: https://forms.gle/9X5351eb268gP6mT8 A parent written or doctor’s note MUST be UPLOADED directly into the form. Parents or guardians who call or email to notify the school of an absence will still be asked to complete the form. If you are experiencing technical difficulties with uploading the note, please contact Mrs. Fermin at the front desk via phone contact 240-767-4080 or cfermin@cmitacademy.org immediately to ensure timely submission of all notes and to avoid absence being considered UNEXCUSED. Absence from school, including absence for any portion of the day, shall be considered lawful only (excused) for the following reasons: *Death in the immediate family (i.e., parent, guardian, brother, sister, grandparent) of extended family and close non-relative. *Illness of the student. The principal requires a physician’s certificate from the parent/guardian after three school days. *Court Summons *Observance of a religious holiday *Mental Health Day - Students may receive as an excused absence one (1) day of absence in each semester of each school year for a student’s mental health needs. A note from a physician to excuse a student’s absence for mental health needs is not required. Family vacations and/or visiting relatives out of state/country are NOT lawful reasons for absence. Attendance at non-CMIT educational activities MAY be excused upon pre-approval by the principal. Families should contact the front desk to obtain an excused absence request form. This form must be returned to the front office at least one week prior to the planned absence. Make Up Work: Late or make-up work will not be accepted unless the absence is an EXCUSED absence and a form has been completed within 3 DAYS upon your student’s return to instruction. Once the note is submitted online, it is the STUDENT’s RESPONSIBILITY to request makeup work from their teacher(s). The front desk will NOT notify teachers regarding make up work. Please take note that every day the School Communication System (SCS) calls all households to inform parents regarding your child’s tardiness and attendance issues. For questions or concerns related to your student absences or tardiness, please check SchoolMAX to see what attendance or tardiness has been entered by the teacher. If there is a question or concern about a specific class, please contact that specific teacher. For all other concerns, please email cfermin@cmitacademy.org. Tardiness Policy Students will be officially tardy to school if they are not in their prospective classrooms at 8:05 am. If your student arrives at school between 8:05 - 8:15 am, they will be accepted through the cafeteria doors. At that time they will be issued an E-Hall tardy pass to their first period class. The time and code of T will be reflected in SchoolMax. Students who are tardy after 8:15 am should enter through the main doors to sign in and receive a tardy pass to class. Sometimes there are highway closures, weather conditions and traffic delays that may cause many students to be tardy. At that time, it will be to the discretion of the school principal to excuse ALL tardiness within a reasonable time frame for that specific day. Please keep in mind that it is of great importance to us that your student arrives safely to school and we are aware of these incidents that do occur from time to time. As defined in PGCPS AP 5113, a student is chronically absent if the student has been enrolled in a school for at least 10 days and is absent 10% or more of the school days while enrolled at that school. A student is habitually truant if the student has been enrolled in a school for 91 or more days in a school year and is unlawfully absent from school for a number of days or portion of days equal to or in excess of 20% of the school days within any marking period, semester, or year. There may be legal consequences when a student is habitually truant.

Parents Reminder: Please submit the Publicity Report Release Form, which is a very important document needed to furnish our school events and activities for the district and community. Sixty-two students still lack the publicity report forms. Parents, here is the link:https://forms.gle/nVC7J138ZvzXtW8U7 The Publicity Report Release is a very essential document; it is also an acknowledgment of the student's rights and responsibilities stated in our handbook to release communication and documentation as required. All students in our social media and newsletter please urge parents to grant the release of your publicity reports (PR). For the few parents who desired for their children's photos to not be published, we kindly advise that your children actively excuse themselves from situations where the camera is present and gently make their wishes known to the photographer or media personnel present. This will help us in respecting your decisions. The office of the Program Coordinator urges everyone to please submit the PR and we greatly appreciate those who support and understand the importance of the PR.

Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting last week. If you missed it, here is what we talked about: 1. We got a financial update from our Treasurer, Ms. Bond for September: Our ending balance for September was: $1,912.00 2. Ms. Hicks gave us a preview of our BRAND NEW PTSO website 3. The details for Spirit Week and Homecoming were shared 4. Committees were formed: Fundraising, Athletics Boosters, Community Relations and Events. If you are interested in helping WE NEED YOU!! Email Ms. O'Donnell please. 5. There was a great discussion on how best to assist our scholar athletes by reaching out to area businesses for assistance--for example, WSSC owns the field by the school, but it needs some TLC and new paint lines. Then we can use it as our home field (we do not have any home field right now) which will allow us to sell concessions, sell tickets and fundraise. We miss out on home game fundraising, but also on the sense of community. So a team of parents are going to reach out to their business connections to ask about sponsorship, fundraising and donations. This is what the PTSO is all about!! Let's do as much as we can to support our school community. See you all on NOVEMBER 17TH AT 6:30 PM FOR OUR NEXT MEETING!!
