DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
We understand and share in the frustration with the traffic flow during dismissal. As those on the frontline, we want dismissal to occur as safely and efficiently as possible. A large part falls on our parent community for support. Law enforcement has been instructed to ticket and clear out any cars that are breaking laws such as parking in no parking zones and making unlawful U-turns. This is a safety concern for our students and aiding in the traffic build up. Every parent/guardian or transportation aid is expected to follow the dismissal procedures which includes entering the school's parking lot and exiting through the identified alley. * Please be kind and compliant to the staff members and volunteers directing traffic. * Do not park in the alley exiting the property. It is causing too close of contact with students and moving cars. There are “No Parking” signs present. * Do not park on Fallard Drive or Fallard Ct and instruct your scholars to meet you down the street. That is also aiding in the traffic build up and students crossing the streets unsafely. There are “No Parking” signs present. Violators will be ticketed. * Refrain from making unlawful U-turns. * Do not park in the parking lots of our neighboring businesses. We are continuously working for greater partnership and consistency with law enforcement to help the flow of traffic. Thank you in advance for your patience and compliance with our dismissal procedures. Please continue to set good examples for our students regarding following the rules, even when we don't like/agree with them.

NEWMAN'S RELA NEWS: WEEK OF 10/25/21
Good Morning Parents & Students of the following classes: 73 UMES | 74 HOWARD | 83 PRINCETON | 84 JOHNS HOPKINS: I hope my note finds you well. Students have been asked several times to keep their cell phones off and put away in their bags. Unfortunately, this is not happening. I have had to remind several students multiple times during class to put their cell phones away. This is unacceptable. To help eliminate cell phone usage during class, if I see a device, the student will receive an automatic -10 SIS points for using their cell phone during class. If they take it out again, it will be an additional -10 points deduction for insubordination. If I have to ask them a third time, I will immediately call a parent during class. If the behavior continues, the student will be referred to an assistant principal. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best, Mrs. Hakisha Newman, M.Ed., M.A. My email address: hnewman@cmitsouth.org
