CMIT South MS/HS Newsletter

CMIT Family,
As we begin preparations for next school year, we are asking those scholars that will not be returning to CMIT next year to please complete the withdrawal form attached. PGCPS is moving from schoolmax to a new student information system (Synergy) next year. Because of this, blackout dates for withdrawals will be June 1-July 21. Any request after May 30, 2024 will be processed once the new system is in place.

Please note if your scholar has been accepted to a PGCPS specialty school, those records will automatically be transferred this summer to that school and a withdrawal form is not needed.

For questions regarding withdrawals, please reach out to Mrs. LaPorte the registrar.

Hello CMIT South MS/HS Families,

We want to ensure that all parents and students know the CMIT South attendance policies. At CMIT South, we follow the PGCPS attendance policy AP 5113. Below are some quick bullet points of the attendance policies:

• CMIT South will use the Google form 2023-2024 Absence Reason Notification Form CMIT South Middle/High School for all student's absences. This form will be the official means of parent/guardian notifications for student absences. Parents can also email attendance@cmitsouth.org when their student will be absent.
• CMIT South does not take paper excused/doctor notes. When a student is absent please fill out the Google form 2023-2024 Absence Reason Notification Form CMIT South Middle/High School. This form will be sent straight to the attendance manager. Parents are the only ones who can fill out the form and email the attendance manager about a student who is absent. A student cannot send the email or fill out the Google form, the absence will not be excused if a student does it.
• The Google form must be filled out within 3 days of the student’s absence; otherwise, the absence will not be excused. This can be emailed as well.
• Students who are considered unlawfully (unexcused) absent from school or a class will not have the opportunity to make up missed assignments.
• A doctor’s note is needed if a student is reported absent for three school days for an illness, and a physician’s certificate will be required if a student's absences reach six days. Please send the physician’s certificate to the school's attendance manager at attendance@cmitsouth.org.
• Mental Health Day. Students may receive as an excused absence one (1) day of absence in each semester of each school year for a student’s mental health needs. A note from a physician to excuse a student’s absence for mental health needs is not required.

Once again, these are just some of the new updates that PGCPS has put in the attendance policy AP 5113. We encourage all parents to read the full updated attendance policy linked below.

For all attendance-related information or questions, please direct it to attendance@cmitsouth.org.

Thank you.

Coach Bell

If you are interested in trying out for the high school volleyball team for next year, please read the information below.

Girls' high school volleyball begins in the summer before the school year begins. Tryouts take place at the start of August, and practices begin right after tryouts. Anyone interested in playing must attend tryouts on the given dates; there are no makeup dates. Any player who makes the team is expected to attend practice every day during the season and all games. All athletes must have an athletic physical on file to tryout.

Volleyball is a big commitment from players and parents/guardians because of the summer start, so please begin making plans now if you wish to tryout. Read below for further information, and contact Coach Sears (asears@cmitsouth.org) if you have any further questions. (Please note: Tryout times are tentative.)

Class of 2024! Please see the attached flyer for an awesome scholarship opportunity!

SHA accepting applications for Tombs Scholarship

Tombs ScholarshipThe State Highway Administration is again seeking applications for the Eddie B. Tombs Scholarship, which is available for students graduating from a Maryland public high school and interested in pursuing an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering, Transportation Systems, Transportation Systems Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Design, or Construction Management at Morgan State University.

Scholarship recipients will receive up to $4,000 per year toward tuition for a four-year degree at Morgan State and will participate in SHA’s summer internships program. One student will be selected as recipient of the scholarship award for the fall 2024/spring 2025 semesters. The application deadline is June 28, 2024.

The scholarship honors Tombs, the first black person hired to perform engineering related work at the Maryland Roads Commission, now the State Highway Administration. In addition to his devotion to his family and community and his service in the U.S. Navy, Tombs committed more than 33 years of service to the SHA and was involved in preliminary planning the Baltimore Beltway (I-695), I-70 and the National Freeway (I-68). During his tenure, he encouraged the agency to increase hiring and promotion of minority employees.

More details and eligibility requirements are available here or contact Yvette Harris (YHarris@mdot.maryland.gov) or Monica Williams (MWilliams27@mdot.maryland.gov.)
