CMIT Families,

As we begin preparing for the 2026–2027 school year, we kindly ask that you complete and email to Claporte@cmitsouth.org the attached withdrawal form if your scholar WILL NOT be returning to CMIT next year.

Withdrawal packets will be available for pickup once final report cards have been printed. Please note that students transferring from a charter school must also complete registration at the school they plan to attend. We recommend contacting that school directly for specific registration procedures.

If you have any questions regarding the withdrawal process, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you.
Mrs. LaPorte

This will be beneficial especially to student who are in 6th grade going to 7th grade.

Good afternoon CMIT Family,

As 2025 comes to an end, we would like to clarify several attendance and absence procedures that have come to our attention.

CMIT is a technology-focused school. Please note that the Attendance Manager, Mrs. LaPorte, will no longer accept paper doctor’s notes or emails to report a scholar’s absence unless the absence exceeds five (5) consecutive days.

All absences, late arrivals, and early dismissals must be reported within three (3) days of the scholar’s return to school by completing the PGCPS Absence Reason Notification Form:
https://forms.gle/DL8yB58TFzkTzQFi9

If you are submitting an excused late arrival or early dismissal, please select the “Other” option on the form and specify late arrival or early dismissal in the description field. Attendance records will be updated within 48 hours of form submission.

Please ensure that arrangements are made—by parents/guardians or scholars—to obtain any missed assignments upon the scholar’s return to school.

Have a wonderful Holiday and Winter Break!!!!

High School Athletics Update – 2026–2027 School Year

As we head into the summer months, please continue to check your email regularly for important updates regarding athletics, including registration information, summer workouts, and team announcements.

A reminder to all high school students interested in participating in fall sports: your 4th quarter GPA is extremely important. To be eligible for athletics during the Fall 2026 season, students must earn a minimum 2.0 GPA during the 4th quarter of the current school year.

Fall sports include:

• Boys Soccer
• Girls Flag Football
• Golf
• Volleyball

Students who do not meet the 2.0 GPA requirement at the conclusion of the 4th quarter will not be eligible to participate in fall athletics.

Finish the school year strong and set yourself up for success both academically and athletically. We look forward to another exciting year of CMIT South Athletics!
