Hello Community Families,

Can you believe we're down to the final three weeks of the 2020-21 school year!? There's a lot to be done in these last few days of school -  assessments, culmination, planning and prepping for the new school year, closing out the current year . . .  

Despite how busy things are, it's wonderful to take a peek inside the CMCS classrooms. Students are working on amazing projects and everyone is busy at work. But I love catching the special moments when a teacher sparks and inspires learning and creative thinking in a student. It's just great to be back on campus!

I am looking forward to sharing it all with you in our "Open House" presentation coming soon. This will be your chance to get a glimpse into what CMCS campus life has been like since our reopening last month! Stay tuned!!

20th Commemoration of the Hitachi Kite Making Workshops



This past week, we celebrated the 20th commemoration of the Hitachi Kite Making workshops with Joanna  Metoki, programs manager at the Japan America Society of Southern California.  If you missed the presentation, you can catch it here.

The Toni Awards 

This week's Toni Awards will be presented on Friday, May 28.  Please click here to attend the webinar at 8:15 a.m. to recognize our Students-of-the-Week and Staff Spotlights.

COVID WATCH

COVID testing will take place at CMCS every Tuesday conducted by AMI Health team. Once you have provided signed consent, your student is set to be tested every week. All LAUSD employees are also tested on site.

Through the on-site COVID testing last week, Tuesday, May 18, 2021, there were 0 identified positive results for COVID. 

The daily health check questions are asked of every individual visiting campus. Let's continue to work together to prevent COVID on our campus and to protect the students and staff who attend school every day. Please practice these healthy behaviors or avoid visiting campus or sending your student to school.

Back-to-School Night

  Back-to-School Night is next week! 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. Parents will be asked to sign up for committees and/or Room Parent positions. Community Council nominees will introduce themselves before ballot voting at each grade level. While this event will be a busy and exciting night for parents, that's not necessarily the case for the students! Since they do  not actively participate in this event, they will have an especially long day at school. For these reasons, we ask that you please plan to  make childcare arrangements away from campus. There will be no childcare or supervision available at Back-to-School night. Also, please remember that Back-to-School night is not a parent conference. If you need time to discuss your child specifically, please be sure to sign up for a conference at the u

IMPORTANT NEWS REGARDING THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

Dear Community Families, Over the weekend, I was notified that Got Game Camp, our after-school program, would be taking a temporary pause in operation effective immediately. Coach K has contacted all affected families and he and his team are working around the clock to get the program back up and running as soon as possible. We wish them the best of luck in this endeavor and hope for their quick return. Got Game has been a very supportive partner to Community Magnet over the years and has proven time and time again to be a stable and reliable program. 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
