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:

MARIA & MARTHA UPDATES

Maria continues to recover, but she is in much better spirits. Martha is still in rehabilitation and we hope to hear even better news soon. 

Thank you for the cards and gifts dropped off at distribution!  We are in the process of organizing them for delivery. Maria and Martha will cherish these gifts forever. 

That's all for now. Enjoy the week ahead.

Enrichment Block Begins This Week!

  ENRICHMENT BLOCKS BEGIN THIS WEEK! Dear Community Families, WHEW!! What a week! It was an exciting one and we're so happy to have students back on campus. We now have a week under our belts- students know where their classrooms are, who their teachers are, and their bus assignments. Teachers have taught classroom systems and procedures, and we've taught our expectations for behavior during behavior assemblies.  On Thursday, we practiced our first fire and earthquake drills of the year. We learned how to evacuate quickly and quietly to the upper yard and how to drop, cover, and hold in the classroom. We held our first Morning Assembly on Friday. Each week, teachers select one student to be recognized as the Student-of-the-Week at the Morning Assembly. These students receive certificates to acknowledge their achievement and are invited to select a prize from the Treasure Box. Staff members issue Kindness Counts coupons are given to students who show kindness and good citizenshi

  Dear Community Families, The first day of school is here! There will be a lot happening at school this week to kick off the new year.  All parents are welcome to join us for a Meet & Greet after walking your student to their classroom on the first day of school. CFF will provide light refreshments as you meet and mingle with other parents and CMCS staff. Meet us on the Room 1 yard at 8:10am. Our Beginning-of-Year Assessment windows open this week so your child will be taking diagnostic tests in reading (DIBELS for Gr. K-2 / iReady for Gr. 3-5) and math (iReady for all grade levels). Teachers will use these results to determine classroom small group instruction, after-school intervention groups, advanced math groups, and tutoring groups. As of last school year, LAUSD requires students to complete 30-45 minutes of iReady Personalized Learning per week. Your child's teacher may ask that some of these required minutes be completed at home. Join me Friday, August 16 at TeaTime wi

Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year

  Dear Community Families, Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Community Magnet Charter School! This summer flew by quickly, but I hope you enjoyed time with your families and friends. I am very happy to have spent a week visiting Toronto with my family. It just so happened that we were there for Canada Day (similar to our Fourth of July) and the Toronto Jazz Festival! In addition to spectacular fireworks, top-notch dining, and wonderful jazz music, we witnessed the awesomeness of the beautiful Niagara Falls. It was a fun-packed week and I left with a special place in my heart for Toronto! Speaking of fun-packed, Community was buzzing with fun for most of the summer. We hosted the Kids 4 College Summer Camp, Camp Invention, BSAP Summer Bridging Program and Kinder Camp! This week will be even busier, but without the kids and not so fun. Albert and Rick will complete the final campus cleaning. Office staff will finalize classroom assignments (to be completed by August 8th) and enroll
