MyCMH (Blackbaud)
MyCMH is the website that CMH uses for school and class organization. The service provides
hosting and database support for the school. It’s aimed at improving communication between parents,
students and teachers.

Notable features of MyCMH includes the ability for students and parents to check itemized grade reports,
report cards, classroom attendance, homework assignments, class calendars, and the ability to access
documents and presentations that may be used in class. Athletic and extra-curricular programs also
use MyCMH as a communication vehicle.

Availability of Teachers
Teachers are in classrooms between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m. and again between 2:45 and 3:20 p.m. to
assist students with make-up work, discuss projects, and assist with whatever the students may need.
Teachers who also coach or moderate other extra-curricular activities will usually not be available in
the afternoon during their respective seasons since they report to those activities immediately after
classes. These teachers will make alternative arrangements with their students.
