CMIT South is finishing its second year on Monday. It is another 2-hour early dismissal day. Parents are asked to have their children attend; attendance rate may impact promotion, placement, and course eligibility decisions in the upcoming years.

Scholars are recommended to spend 20-30 minutes/day to complete Summer assignments.

During the Summer, newsletters will be once a month. Our office hours will be 8 am to 3 pm Monday through Thursday starting from this week.

I wish a delightful, relaxing, and safe Summer to all our scholars and families.

Principal

Monday's 8th Grade Ceremony is at 8 am. The students will receive their certificates of promotion and attendees will enjoy finger food. This will be another great time for students to take pictures with peers, dance, and enjoy the last day of their middle school experience. Attire is formal.

Each student may have only 2 guests. Due to the space availability, we may have limited seats.

Special thanks go to the 8th Grade Promotion Planning Committee for all the efforts and the CLF office for sponsoring the event.

The PGCC IET Department in conjunction with CETAT will be providing our Annual Technology Camp for youth. Last year, several students from CMIT North participated in the program, and we hope that some CMIT-SOUTH will join us this year.


In short, during this program students will learn about web design, coding, video production, music production and photography. This program is free for county residents who adhere to all of the registration deadlines. If you have any questions, or require any additional information, please let me know.


Here is a link with some pictures from our program last year - http://cetat.org/index.php/apply-for-summer-workshop

A tradition at CMIT South is for all students to complete summer assignments in RELA, Math, Science and Technology. Students are expected to begin their summer assignments by July 1, 2016. Some assignments have due dates during the months of July and August. Others are due in September. Teachers of these subjects are providing necessary directions for summer assignments during this last few weeks in class. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions. Teacher will not be available during the summer break. Questions related to summer assignment during the summer break should be directed to testing@cmitsouth.org.

Summer assignments constitute part of the assessment grades for first quarter of the new school year. Links to summer assignments are below. Please click on your next grade level and navigate to your current college. All written assignments must be typed and not handwritten. Handwritten assignments will not be accepted.
