Reminders
- Interns cannot be dropped off at school prior to 7:30 a.m. Executives are not on duty until this time to supervise them. Parents are expected to wait with interns until the appropriate time.
- All interns must be uniform attire each day. Visit our website at www.cmcts.org to order. Parents will be called to bring proper attire to school, if needed.
- Jackets must be black, gray, or navy blue. NO pullover hoodies.
- Safety is important! Interns and guests must wear masks and remain at least 6 feet apart when on campus. Hand sanitizer is provided campus-wide.
- For interns arriving to school after 8:00 a.m., parents must report to the Discipline and Attendance Office in T-3 for check-in. Failure to do so will result in a parent return.
- No intern can be checked out by parents after 2:30 p.m. Please adhere to this policy. It's the busiest time of the day.
- Interns should be logged into their Canvas accounts on Fridays. See below for the revised Friday Virtual schedule.

From the CEO's Desk
I want to say thank you for your patience as we maneuver through this unprecedented time that our nation is experiencing. I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and everyone in your families is doing well.
As we continue to move throughout this year and work hard to keep our interns safe, while providing a quality instructional experience simultaneously, I need your help with ensuring that interns are logging into their Canvas pages each Friday for their virtual learning experience. When interns are not logging in for classes, it causes a breach in their learning and makes it more difficult to bridge the gaps that they may face.
Please know that we are working extremely hard to ensure that both virtual and traditional interns are receiving the best learning experience possible. Also, please check the new Friday schedule that is located in this newsletter. There were some changes made to the schedule.
Good news! We have received some of our devices. If your child has not received a device, we will contact you in a few days so that we can provide the intern with a device as soon as possible.
Should you have any questions or need clarity, please feel free to reach out.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Expecting the best,
Monte L. Demars, Principal/CEO
