Attention CMIT Scholars and Families, If your student was absent for both the Fall Picture day and the Retake day and as a result, did not have their picture taken, please fill out this google form so that Ms. Hackett knows to schedule a time for your student to take their school photo during the Spring Picture Day - next Thursday, April 7th. Form Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFoPNsfkcrjAuWf_hjhE0TF6FZEXEb8UDYLQ1VLDNrabobEg/viewform All students will take photos in their class cohorts as part of our Spring Picture Day. No individual photos will be taken other than those for students who were not present in the Fall. Students need to wear the following: -CMIT South uniform polo shirts -Appropriate uniform pants & shoes as usual If a student does not have a uniform polo shirt due to a uniform shortage, they should wear a plain polo shirt in one of the appropriate colors (blue/green for middle school and purple/gold for high school). If a student has PE class on April 7th, but needs to retake their photo, they should still wear their normal uniform and NOT their PE attire. Students do not need to wear their school oxford shirt this year and all students will be photographed. Students who were not in the correct uniform on picture day will need to participate in the Retake Day if they want to appear in the school yearbook as ONLY THE CORRECTLY UNIFORMED STUDENTS WILL APPEAR IN THE YEARBOOK. Students wearing a school sweatshirt or jacket will be asked to take it off for their picture. If your student is a member of an after school club and/or team, their coach/sponsor has been asked to schedule a time with their students for them to come and take a group photo.

Volleyball season begins in early August, before the school year starts. If you hope to tryout and be on the HS team, please plan accordingly to ensure you are in town once the season starts. More information will come as we get closer to the end of the year, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up now. I look forward to seeing you all at workouts!

We are seeking bright, engaged, and curious students to participate in a week long immersion into bioinspired engineering through independent, mentored research projects.

At the beginning of the week, students will visit the SNZ to meet with curators and keepers to determine an animal of interest and relevant research questions. Throughout the rest of the week at GWU, students, working as a team, will design an experiment to answer their research question, perform data analysis and prepare technical writing on their findings. Finally, they will craft an infographic to be displayed at the SNZ for the general public based on the project. To apply, the student must be a current junior in a DMV (DC-MD-VA) area high school, at least 16 years old by the time the program starts, and able to get to and from GWU each day.
