Community Council Intros and Social Media Updates

-

Good Evening Community Families,

Last week was a busy one with Back-to-School Night and distribution/picture days! It was great to connect with parents and students and it was especially nice to see teachers and students meet each other in person- some for the very first time! That was priceless. 

If you were unable to come for distribution day, just give us a call to arrange a pick up of materials. If you need to take pictures, we hope to arrange make-ups at the picture studio, so let us know.

Some teachers were unable to record their Back-to-School Night presentations because of district technology limitations, so I sincerely apologize if you missed anything. We will continue to work on recording important meetings.

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE

Please join us tomorrow for the Monday Morning Message. To be honest, I worry about the 20-minutes time limit -- there's a lot to get through in 20 minutes. Thinking ahead, it may be necessary to start earlier, just to get everything in-- let me know your thoughts on that. Anyway, we're on for tomorrow morning at 9am:

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

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
