Greetings Parents and Students! A quick reminder as we are well into the first quarter of school and I want to make sure every student is prepared for active participation in class. THE CMIT PE SHIRT IS BACK IN STOCK! :) The uniform supplier has both the black CMIT sweatpants and gym shorts in stock as well, which should be worn only on PE days. (The A-day, B-day schedule can be checked on the pgcps.org website daily.) The CMIT PE uniform consists of the blue CMIT logo T-shirt and black CMIT logo pants or shorts. Branded bottoms such as Adidas, Nike, PINK, etc. are not approved for school wear unless on a dress down day, Leggings are also not permitted. Hoodies should also have the CMIT logo on them and may not be branded. Students should wear athletic shoes on their PE day to be prepared and safe for activities. Uggs, heeled boots and shoes without a back are not safe for physical activity. Please ensure your student has their uniform on for the days they have PE (2-3 times a week depending on their schedule). There will be a grace period for uniform infractions (PE only) until November 1, 2021. After that date, students who are not properly dressed in their PE uniform will complete an alternative assignment for that day. Please note, students who are wearing their khaki and polo shirt combination uniform are considered to be out of uniform for PE days. If you have any questions or issues, or you are in need of uniform assistance for your child, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email. Looking forward to a great rest of the year!

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.
