JOIN ME FOR TEA TIME with TONI

-

 Hello Community Families,

I hope you've enjoyed a restful Thanksgiving break and are ready to tackle the last 3 school weeks of 2020! 


Tea-Time with Toni

Please join me for Tea-Time this Thursday to discuss plans for returning to campus. This will be a meeting, not a webinar, so that I may take questions and concerns. If necessary, I will have a second meeting since the meeting will hold only 300 participants. 

I look forward to seeing you there!

DECEMBER DISTRIBUTION DAYS 

In addition to the regular distribution materials from teachers, students will also receive Scholastic materials from LAUSD: 

To support students and families during the winter break, students will receive either English only or Dual Language book packs for those with Spanish home languages. These book packs contain 4 culturally relevant books, 1 family guide from the Yale Child’s institute and a letter from Superintendent Beutner. These book packs are highly engaging, culturally relevant, developmentally appropriate for PreK-6th Grade, and empower family participation in fostering a love of reading.

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).

Los Angeles Unified School District is offering free COVID-19 tests to all students. The virus testing program is now underway and our school community is now being tested.

We are asking parents to make an appointment for an initial test now to help us prepare for the opening of school for in-person instruction. Although the date when schools will re-open for in-person instruction is not yet known, taking an initial test now will provide valuable information about the incidence of COVID-19 in the communities we serve. This information will help the scientists, researchers and epidemiologists who are assisting with the program. The baseline testing will help reduce the spread of the disease by identifying those with the virus so they can be kept apart from others.

Immediately prior to the reopening of schools, all students and staff who will be returning to schools, will be provided with a further, back-to-school, baseline test.

Please schedule an appointment beginning on October 9th for your child at https://achieve.lausd.net/covidtestingappt.

You will need your child’s student ID number to schedule an appointment. You may obtain your child’s student ID number by accessing the Parent Portal at https://parentportalapp.lausd.net/parentaccess/ or by calling our LAUSD hotline at 213-443-1300. Once you’ve made the appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with details. Please be prepared to show the email on your phone or print out the confirmation and bring it with you to the appointment.





Would you like to recognize an awesome CMCS teacher, paraprofessional, or staff member for going above and beyond for others in our school community?

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
