Greetings CMIT South MHS Families, Thursday, December 17, 2020 CMIT South MHS held another successful High School Orientation Night for current 8th graders. Ms. Epps, Mr. Akpinar and Ms. Graves did an excellent job informing parents of the many rigorous programs we have available in our high school. The powerpoint can be reviewed and discussed with your incoming high school scholar. I wish all current 8th graders a successful completion of the school and look forward to greeting them during their high school freshman year!

Hello, Parent's and student's During a parent meeting, I was informed about the "Revibe Connect" and how it has been a great help for her scholar. Attention is always a battle when dealing with younger children and with younger generations, it seems like the attention span has become shorter and shorter. The "Revibe Connect" is a wearable tech to help assist students with attention and focus challenges. Take a look at the link below to see the technology and some of the key features the wearable tech offers https://revibetech.com/pages/revibe-connect
