UPDATED BUS ROUTES

UPDATES ON BEYOND the BELL SUPERVISION
We are making progress! As more supervision staff have become available, childcare cohorts have been reorganized so that they are consistent throughout the day. For example, if a cohort is together in the AM for instruction, that same cohort is maintained in the afternoon for supervision, most in their own classrooms as teachers travel home for PM online instruction. Five cohorts are mixed due to lack of available space and/or lack of supervision staff.  Remember that LAUSD guidelines allow for students to participate in two on-site cohorts in a day.

Beginning next week, we are expecting the following supervision to support our four AM and fifteen PM childcare cohorts:
  • Beyond the Bell: 2 AM coaches and 2 1/2 PM coaches
  • Boys & Girls Club, Venice: 6 AM/PM coaches
  • Got Game Camp: 5 PM coaches will begin on Monday
  • LAUSD Substitute teacher: 1 AM/PM

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, one individual tested positive for COVID. We tracked all students and staff who were in close contact with the individual and, out of an abundance of caution, put those students and staff under home quarantine for 14 days. The classroom has been closed and sanitized and our supervision staff has been reminded of COVID protocols.

The daily health check questions are asked of every individual visiting campus. Let's 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.

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
