FROM THE PRINCIPALS
🐣 Greetings CMIT-South Families!
As we head into Spring Break (April 14–21), we want to take a moment to wish all of our CMIT-South Middle School families a safe, restful, and joyful break. Whether you’re traveling, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying some well-deserved downtime, we hope this time recharges both families and staff alike.
When we return on Monday, April 22, we will be in the final stretch of the school year—and it will be a focused time for preparation for testing season.
🔍 Important Testing Updates:
Middle School MCAP Testing will begin the week of May 5. Scholars will have approximately two weeks of review and readiness upon returning from break.
High School Students will begin AP Testing the week of May 12 and MCAP Testing the week of May 19.
We encourage all students to return refreshed and ready to finish strong! Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together to empower our scholars toward success.
✨ Have a wonderful Spring Break, Tigers!
