It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like . . .

Good Evening Community Families and Staff,

I hope everyone has enjoyed the week off and spent quality time with family and friends. Tis' the season! Even the cold and rainy weather encourages us to spend more time indoors with our families. I really love this time of year, though I do admit, I miss the white winters of Michigan where I grew up with trees heavy and beautiful with ice. And yes, I do tell my daughter stories of when I was a kid, and had to walk for miles in snow, sleet, and freezing cold to get to school every day. (This is a true story . . . except maybe the "for miles" part.) We even had recess outside in the cold and snow, believe it or not! But, I digress . . .

We have only three weeks of school left in the semester and, believe me, it will go by fast! There are not many events happening in these three weeks, but the ones we have are important:

School Experience Surveys
School Experience Surveys are due on December 6th. If you have already completed the survey on-line or turned in your completed survey at school, thank you very much! If you haven't completed the survey, it is so important that you do. You may complete the paper copy you received at home and return it to school by December 6th. It would probably be more convenient, however, if you completed the survey online. Thank you all for your input and support! 

 Parent Surveys:   ENGLISH           KOREAN        SPANISH

 Council Meeting
The Community Council Meeting is another way to have your voice heard. If you have a concern regarding Community MCS, let your grade level Council representative know. You may also feel free to attend a meeting and have your public comment be heard. Public comments are held to a 2-minute limit. The next Council Meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 9, at 2:45 in the school library.

 Winter Program
I am so excited for the Winter Program! There are very few of my years that I have not been able to enjoy an elementary school winter program. The sound of the children's voices singing holiday songs always puts me in a nostalgic mood.

The Winter Program schedule will be Thursday, December 19. Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade parents are invited to attend the 8:30 a.m. performance and 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade parents are invited to attend the 1:00 p.m. performance.

Pajama Day
December 20th is the last day before winter break. This will be Pajama Day, so show your school spirit by wearing your cutest winter pajamas! There will be a 12:45 minimum day dismissal. If your child attends an after-school program at another school, please check with that school since not all schools will have a minimum day schedule. 

 That's all for now. I'm looking forward to a great week back at Community. See you around campus!

 Best,
Toni

Back-to-School Night

  Back-to-School Night is next week! It will be a very busy night for parents as we introduce our teachers and our new CFF board members, check out the classrooms and textbooks, and learn what our students will be doing and learning this school year. Parents will be asked to sign up for committees and/or Room Parent positions. Community Council nominees will introduce themselves before ballot voting at each grade level. While this event will be a busy and exciting night for parents, that's not necessarily the case for the students! Since they do  not actively participate in this event, they will have an especially long day at school. For these reasons, we ask that you please plan to  make childcare arrangements away from campus. There will be no childcare or supervision available at Back-to-School night. Also, please remember that Back-to-School night is not a parent conference. If you need time to discuss your child specifically, please be sure to sign up for a conference at the u

IMPORTANT NEWS REGARDING THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

Dear Community Families, Over the weekend, I was notified that Got Game Camp, our after-school program, would be taking a temporary pause in operation effective immediately. Coach K has contacted all affected families and he and his team are working around the clock to get the program back up and running as soon as possible. We wish them the best of luck in this endeavor and hope for their quick return. Got Game has been a very supportive partner to Community Magnet over the years and has proven time and time again to be a stable and reliable program. However, I understand that many of our families depend on consistent after-school care and are in immediate need of another option. I have been working throughout the weekend to ensure that there would be no interruption in after-school care at Community for those families. I appreciate the immediate response and support  from LAUSD Operations and Beyond the Bell  in helping to find an after-school program for Community as we wait for Got
