A SPOOKTACULAR Week Ahead!

Hello Community Families,

We are very excited about next week's Parade of Masks Car Parade!!
Almost half of families RSVP'd for the event and about 83% plan to attend. The weather will be cooperating with a forecast of 75 degrees for Saturday. PoM committee members are stuffing treat bags, our Parade of Masks elves are working diligently on props, parents are donating decorations . . .    this is really happening!! If you responded that you would not be able to attend and have since changed your mind, that's fine! We are preparing 500 treat bags and would love to see all our CMCS Dragons at the parade!!  Please remember, distribution day will be Thursday, October 29th.

SCHOOL EXPERIENCE SURVEYS


Parent ONLINE Surveys

To protect the health and safety of LAUSD families and school staff, parents are encouraged to complete the School Experience Survey online. 

To access the online Parent Survey: 

1. Go to http://achieve.lausd.net/schoolexperiencesurvey

2. Choose our school from a drop-down menu. 

3. Take the survey.

4. Take a screen shot of the “Thank You” page as proof that you've     completed the survey. 

Note: No login is required to access the online Parent survey. 

Confidentiality of Survey Data: It should be noted that all survey results are confidential, and no identifiable data are ever shared with school sites or third parties. Only LAUSD’s Research and Reporting Branch staff (not school site staff) can access the full survey data and must adhere to strict data privacy protocols. Results are only shared in a de-identified format and are publicly reported as summary data only if there is a sample size of at least 11 individuals (students, parents, or staff).

ONLINE TUTORING

Invitations have been sent to select students to participate in our Fall 2020 Online Extended Learning program. If your child has been invited, your child's tutor will contact you soon with schedules, Zoom links, and more details. 

Notification of Asbestos Inspection and Abatement Activities

Every six months, personnel with specialized training will visit our school to check the condition of any asbestos-containing building material. A copy of the inspector's written report will be included in the school's Asbestos Management Plan. Minor asbestos abatement work may be performed due to normal maintenance activities during the coming year. Any large-scale abatement, if such occurs, will be preceded by a specific notice at that time. All abatement work will be followed by a report of such activities and will be included in our Asbestos Management Plan, which is available in the main office for review.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME



That's all for now. See you later!


Best,

Toni
