Love Was in the Air . . .

-


The Lunar New Year and Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival, are celebrated in many countries around the world, especially countries with large Asian communities. These celebrations, held in January or February, honor ancestors and customs that bring good luck, good fortune, wealth, happiness and prosperity. The festivities last over 15 days with dragon dances, lion dances, gift exchanges, fireworks, and lantern festivals.

 祝您新年快乐,身体健康

Wishing you a Happy New Year and Good Health!

Year of the Ox!


Happy Sunday Community Families!

February is the shortest month, 
but filled with so many special celebrations. 
I wish you all happy Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, and Presidents' Day!

CMCS celebrated Valentine's Day with a Valentine's-themed distribution and a
fun-filled Virtual Sweethearts Dance party.

Love was absolutely in the air!

Presidents' Day is a federal holiday and occurs every year on the 3rd Monday in February. In 1885, Presidents' Day was established to honor George Washington, our country's first President. We now honor all of our nation's presidents, past and present, on this day.

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
