As per the CDC the most effective tool against the spread of the Coronavirus is hand washing. CLF has reached out to our cleaning company ABM to discuss additions to their services to help us, as a community, combat the spread of this pathogen. Services such as, sanitizing of desk surfaces and other commonly touched surfaces, door handles, toilet handles, etc. In addition to this, we are asking parents for donations of cleaning products to help in this fight. Please consider donating hand sanitizer, bleach wipes, and other sanitizing products so that we may help keep our students safe and healthy. Donations can be left at the front office or with Mr Screven. Together, we can overcome this challenge to our student's health and well being. Thanks you.

Unfortunately, because of the Coronavirus pandemic crisis, this year's annual 8th grade college trip has been cancelled indefinitely. Both universities we planned to visit have barred visitation. PGCPS has also banned travel until further notice. We apologize for any disappointment that this may cause for the students.

We ask that parents and students alike please bare with us as we work through some of the password issues that you may be experiencing with Clever. Clever is a resource aggregator which means that they take educational resources like IXL and Khan Academy and many district textbooks and place them in one place for students to access. Since most work can be accessed through CMIT resources such as, Google Classroom, STEMscopes and IXL, we ask that you use those platforms as you do normally if you are experiencing trouble with Clever.Additionally, students have access to many of their textbooks online version as provided by their teachers. We hope that a fix can be put in place for Clever at some point but do not want to rely on Clever as a resource aggregator if your student is having a problem signing on. If you are not experiencing trouble with Clever, feel free to use the aggregator to ease your access to your work. Mr Screven

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.
