The Last 6 School Days
|
After a wonderful and successful start in our new facility, we have left only 6 school days; Friday, June 17 and Monday, June 20 will be 2-hour early dismissal. Because final tests take place this week, attendance is crucial. We are asking parents to ensure timely arrival and perfect attendance for the remaining 6 days. Students are expected to comply with the uniform policy and school rules. We look forward to finishing the school year with great memories as this week brings a few fun activities for our Scholars. CMIT South families are strongly recommended to catch a great opportunity that is coming to Washington DC on June 18-19; the National Maker Faire. It is still not too late to obtain free tickets for this eye opening hands on experience: http://makerfaire.com/national/
