TIME MARCHES ON!

Hello Community Families,

January 2021 is quickly coming to a close. After two weeks back at it, we are in full instructional swing at Community Magnet. This second semester of 2020-2021 will be packed with activities, assessments, and events. So be sure to check our CMCS websites, Fresh Schools and   communitymagnet.org, for updates and news. Join us every Monday at 9am for the Monday Morning Message and every month for Tea Time with Toni.

Division, will share a presentation on Disability Awareness and offer a challenge-of-the-week to all students and, of course, we will recognize our Students-of-the-Week and Staff Spotlights. All Community members, parents, students, and staff are encouraged to attend!

Here is the new recurring Monday Morning Message link that will be used through the end of the school year:

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.

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
