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!

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

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
