Cheer Squad takes home Third Place from Competition at Oxon Hill High School
|
Our cheer squad did an outstanding job of representing CMIT North Middle school at this year's PGCPS Cheer Competition, held at Oxon Hill high School. The cheer squad and Coach Bond deserve our gratitude for working so hard during this past year. You may have seen them cheering at a basketball game, school event or a competition, but know that these young men and women are true scholar athletes. They truly show us what school spirit is all about. This year our cheer team took third place and stood out of the crowd among a field of tough competitors.

CMIT North HS Class of 2024 (8th Grade) Important Information

Hello, 8th Grade Families!
On Friday, January 31st, several staff and students from the high school visited the middle school to talk to 8th grade students about their transition into the 9th grade. Although the time was short, it was a pleasure for us to start getting to know them. We met with them for approximately one hour to discuss high school expectations and opportunities including the Information Technology Early College (ITEC) program, Advanced Placement coursework, clubs, and athletics. During the presentation, students received information about how to apply for both the ITEC program and AP courses and received some important deadline information.
For your reference, you can find the presentation we shared with students, including staff contact information, at the following link: https://tinyurl.com/rbkbrex
Attached you will find a letter from Mrs. Andrew and Ms. Gaudette explaining scheduling, ITEC applications, and AP applications. ITEC applications and AP applications are also attached for your convience.
We are excited to begin this journey with you and your students.

FAQs |
![](https://newsletter.clfportal.org/Images/faq.png) |
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.
