Greetings CMIT South Parents, The weather has changed!!! As a reminder, our building opens for students at 8:20am. Staff will not be present to monitor students and assist with drop off before 8am. Please refrain from dropping off students before this time as it is a safety hazard. Any students dropped off after 8:35am will need to enter the building through the main office. Additionally, our dismissal begins at 2:50pm. Please ensure that your scholar is picked up no later than 3:30pm. If this is not possible, then you will need to enroll them in the before school/after school Enrichment program.

Dr. Borden-McCarter, Principal

Greetings, My name is Ms. O'Daniel, and I teach tenth grade government and 11/12 grade African American Studies. I would like to provide a positive and encouraging atmosphere for my scholars to learn challenging topics. One way I intend to achieve this is to send my scholars encouraging post cards in the mail; I know that the school year can be challenging and scholars face many stressors both in school and out of school so the purpose of this would be to let the scholars know that I am proud of their accomplishments and I know they can accomplish challenging tasks. If you would like your scholar to receive a post card periodically in the mail please complete this google form with your mailing address. I will also create an email each time I send the post cards so that you will be expecting the post card. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. If you have already completed the form please disregard this message. The first round of cards will be going out before the end of the month. Click here for the google form: https://forms.gle/f5dB4tKFRLiLFhhk7 Have a great day! Respectfully, Ms. O'Daniel
