The Read-a-Thon is On!

 The Read-a-Thon is On . . .

Our Read-a-Thon fundraiser kicked off on Friday and will continue until December 3rd. If you haven’t already done so, please register your child on our digital platform, Get Movin’ Fundhub, by clicking https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/register?school_uuid=5e3c2f667caf7  or Re-Login at https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/login to your parent dashboard and complete your child’s student webpage with a picture. (Hint: If you participated in the Read-a-Thon last year or Pump It Up in 2020, then you already have an account). Then email or text 10 friends and family and ask them to support your child and CMCS by making a $20 pledge. Even better, share your child’s fundraising page on Facebook or Twitter! We are asking each student to raise $200, which will go towards funding many of our enrichment classes next school year.

For this year’s Read-a-Thon, our students will be competing in teams in a virtual race through “Communityland: The Smartest Place on Earth” and the team that logs the most minutes of reading and earns the most money for our school WINS! There are a lot of fun prizes and incentives for our students who participate! Please register or re-login to see full list of prizes! Read-a-thon is more than a fundraiser, it incentivizes kids to read and fosters a love of reading! So, encourage your child to read TODAY and log in their minutes on Getmovinfundhub to help their team WIN!



We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. 
This event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. As always, all purchases benefit our school. After missing out on many beloved traditions, our fall Book Fair will be a familiar, welcome, and safe event for our students. 
Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from November 15th-19th in our library.
• Our Book Fair offers a cash-free payment option called eWallet. It’s a convenient digital account that your child can use for shopping at our Fair. Grandparents, friends, and others can contribute, too! 
• If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop online at our school’s Virtual Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school. 
Visit our Book Fair homepage today to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: 
We’re excited to celebrate our love of books together at the Book Fair. We look forward to seeing your child there!

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
