Happy Friday CMIT South MHS Families, I hope you are doing well and keeping safe. As you know, the quarter is coming to an end. Please take every advantage our teachers provide to help students improve their grades. This is a gift some teachers give. We are all grateful when we receive it. Please be sure to let your child's teacher know you appreciate this gesture. Please remember, extending this grace is not mandatory. Thank you CMIT South MHS Families,

Dr. Washington

Hello Class of 2025 Parents! We hope your New Year has gotten off to a great start and that it continues to be great!! The PTO would like to celebrate our scholars' transition to high school in the Fall and need ideas from our parents. Below is a link to a survey that will give us an idea of what you would like to do. We are taking the current situation into consideration and may have to modify some activities. It all depends on the consensus and what is going on with COVID in the County later in the school year. Please click on the link below and complete the survey by January 27, 2021. The results will be shared at the next General PTO Meeting, scheduled for January 28, 2021. Thank you! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13GMdNqUFeR-q1DZkbvUSRNOnC2Q9OLKmO0gjVGzBni4/edit
