The PTO would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the 8th grade parents for their contributions to the 8th grade promotion ceremony. We were able to raise almost $3000 with your generous support. The generous act of kindness of those who contributed, will help offset the cost of those who could not contribute at this time, so that each child will be able to have a wonderful 8th grade promotion experience! Each child has worked extremely hard over these past two years and we are grateful for your help to send these young people off in style!!

Thank You, MS CMIT PTO

Parent/Guardians As you may already know from Dr. Monica Goldson's speech, barring unforeseen circumstances. next year will be a normal year of live instruction. To prepare for that please consider the following; - Having your 6 or 7th grade student participate in the summer bridge program to mitigate gaps in performance or knowledge. - Plan for purchasing uniforms as next year will be a uniform year. - Consider transportation, although we cannot recommend one company over another, the transport companies do post advertising outside the school with contact info. - Have a great, relaxing summer as a family. Come September we hit the books hard! Have a great summer and hope to see you all in the fall.

Q: Is CMIT North MS a public school? 

A: Yes We are a public charter school who is staffed by PGCPS teachers and administration, and support staff who work along side of a limited CLF staff. We have access to PGCPS support but also benefit from additional guidance, management and financial support from Chesapeake Light House Foundation, whose educational concept this school is based on. 

Q: Do siblings get preference in applying to CMIT?

A: The process of gaining entry to any charter school in Prince George's County is through a lottery. However, siblings of already attending CMIT students are weighted differently during the lottery process. This different weighting gives preference to siblings. 

Q: What makes CMIT different then any other school in the district? 

A: Although we are a PGCPS public charter, we are given some autonomy over curriculum. This autonomy allows us to fast track students, who are academically ready, through selected high school courses in math, foreign language, science and technology. It is that fast tracking that opens up opportunity to more advanced  coursework on the college level while still in high school.  Additionally, we offer students supports and enrichments to every student, not available at most schools. Lastly, we are a uniform school which takes away the distraction, the competition and the social stratification that is brought on by non uniform dress in a school. 

Our test scores oustrip not only county averages but also state avaerages. This, along with other metrics has made us a 5 star school. 

Q: Do you offer everything the big middle and high school's offer? 

A: Unlike many school in Maryland, we do not have a  full spectrum offerings in sports.  Instead, our focus is on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics). Therefore, our sports offerings are more limited.  We offer, boys and girls soccer, basketball, girl's softball, boy's baseball and club lacrosse in the middle school. Additionally, boys and girls basketball, track/field and volleyball at the high school level. With that said we recently (2017) won the girls county basketball championship and made it to the playoffs in soccer. Our high school opened a multi-million dollar, state of the art gym complex, competitive with all schools of their size. The middle school has also added an indoor gym space.  Lastly, we do offer special educational services, but becuase we are a school of choice, the amount of service hours we can provide is limited to 7.5 hours a week, split between literacy and math. Services hours are delivered by special education teachers but are limited to literacy and math courses.
