FROM THE PRINCIPALS
Happy Friday, CMIT South Families!
As we step into a new month, we're thrilled to share the exciting developments happening at our school. Our students have been embracing their studies with enthusiasm, and it's truly inspiring to witness their progress and accomplishments.
We have some fantastic events coming up that we believe will further enrich our school community. Be sure to mark your calendars for our Back-2-School Nights on September 17th (Middle School) and September 18th (High School), from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. These evenings will give you the chance to meet your scholar's teachers and the dedicated support staff who make up our school team. You’ll also have the opportunity to take a guided tour of your scholar’s classrooms. On these same days, we’ll also be having our fall picture day, so please ensure your child has their white oxford shirt, as it is required.
Additionally, we're excited to announce our annual Back-2-School Block Party on September 20th! It’s a great opportunity for the whole family to enjoy fun activities, music, and food for purchase. Please note that students must be accompanied by a parent to participate.A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our volunteers and staff for their ongoing support and dedication in making our school a vibrant and supportive environment. If you haven’t yet, we encourage you to join our PTO and get involved!
Let’s continue to work together to make this school year a successful and rewarding experience for all our students. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
