DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

Don't forget: you should have set your clock one hour ahead this morning, Sunday, March 13th at 2 a.m. Why 2 a.m.? The reason for a 2 a.m. daylight saving time is that at 2 a.m. most people are sleeping and therefore won't notice the time change.

PRINCIPALS for the DAY

Principals Abbey and Delilah Fabian gave Toni a break from administrative duties on Friday. Their first order of business was to extend recess! They also declared the day to be Pajama Day! Here is part of their to-do list: present the Friday Morning Assembly, bring classes over for COVID testing, visit classes to take the Spirit Count, prepare for Sunday's auditorium dedication, and review and sign important documents. Principals Abbey and Delilah had a little bit of fun, too. They enjoyed a well-deserved pizza lunch, then emceed the school dance on the upper yard. 

The office staff appreciated the hard work and effort put forth by Principals Abbey and Delilah. Alice said it was great to have Delilah's help in getting all the students COVID-tested. Kathryn loved the creativity and assistance in preparing for our big event on Sunday. Toni was grateful to have a break from presenting the Friday Morning Assembly. And the students were very happy for the few extra minutes of recess! Great job, Principals Abbey and Delilah! And thank you!!!!


Here are a few pictures of students dressed for Pajama Day!





Star Gazing Event

On Friday, several Readathon winners and their families gathered on the upper yard to enjoy a night under the stars! They were joined by special guest, Shruti Iyer, who studies astrophysics at UCLA. Shruti led the stargazers in finding and identifying constellations and stars in the night sky. Check out the pics below!





A GOODBYE TO OUR TREES


Thursday was a sad day on campus when we said goodbye to two of our beloved trees which have provided shade, protection and beauty to our campus for many years.   
                                                
You may remember that the asphalt near room 14 was repaired a few weeks ago. The tree's roots had to be cut back to make the repairs. After review, it was determined that the remaining roots were causing a tripping hazard because they were so big and thick. Therefore, the tree had to be removed.

The ficus tree near the cafeteria was also removed. The roots had grown very long causing the concrete in front of the Magnet Office to crack and lift. The doors to the office could no longer open fully which caused a safety hazard. In the case of an emergency, it would be difficult to exit quickly from those doors. The next step is to break up the concrete in front of the Magnet Office, remove the remaining roots, repair the concrete, and replace the doors.

                                                                                  The good news is that both trees will be replaced. We are hoping to replant our four young trees from the upper yard somewhere on the lower campus. If you have any ideas of where we could put those trees, please let us know!




DON'T FORGET TO PUMP IT UP!!

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 citizensh...

  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 TeaTi...

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 en...
