Dear CMIT North High School Parents and Guardians,

As we transition into the vibrant season of Thanksgiving and the approaching winter festivities, I am delighted to share the successes of our first quarter at CMIT North High School. Your dedication and support have played a pivotal role in creating a thriving environment for our students.

We're thrilled to announce that our clubs, after-school tutoring, and athletic programs are in full swing, providing students with enriching experiences beyond the classroom. Additionally, SAT tutoring sessions are set to commence soon, offering valuable resources to our college-bound scholars.

To stay informed about upcoming events, important announcements, and the latest school happenings, I encourage you to check our website, social media, and newsletter regularly. These platforms are invaluable tools for keeping you connected to the pulse of our school community.

As we express gratitude during this Thanksgiving season, I want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to each member of our school community. Your ongoing support and partnership are instrumental in fostering an environment where our students can thrive academically and personally.

Thank you for being an integral part of the CMIT North High School family. Here's to a season of warmth, growth, and continued success.

Best regards,

Gonul Ozturk,

Principal, CMIT North High School

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for each and every one of you. The CMIT HS community is a source of strength and inspiration, and we are thankful for the continued support and dedication from our students, families, and staff.

Thanksgiving Break is just around the corner, and we hope it provides you with an opportunity to relax, reflect, and spend quality time with loved ones. Whether you're traveling, enjoying a delicious meal, or simply taking a well-deserved break, we wish you a joyful and rejuvenating holiday.

Here are a few important updates and reminders for the Thanksgiving Break:

• Dates: Thanksgiving Break will begin on November 22nd. School will resume on November 27th.
• Upcoming Events: Stay tuned for information about upcoming events and activities as we enter the holiday season. We have exciting plans to create memorable experiences for our students.
• Health and Safety: As we navigate these times, please continue to prioritize health and safety. Follow recommended guidelines for gatherings, and if you or your child experience any symptoms, err on the side of caution and reach out to us if additional support is needed.

Once again, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your family for a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are grateful to have you as part of the CMIT community.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

As we know, many families within PGCPS struggle with food insecurity and especially during this time of year there is often a need for additional support. I wanted to make sure that you all are aware that since 2020 our team has maintained a Grocery Giveaway document that is continually updated with information about various food distribution locations in the county. Please feel free to share this wonderful resource with your colleagues as we all work together to support those families who are in need. I would also like to give a huge shout out to Erin Sisk, the PGSMHI Community Outreach Worker who keeps this document updated.

Thank you!
