Summer School 2022


Click here to read more about Summer programs 2022

Families have two options for enrolling their child/children in the LAUSD summer program. 

  1. Student Enrollment Application – a paper application may be completed by a parent/guardian and submitted to the school site. 
  2. Parent Portal Electronic Application – an electronic application may be completed by a parent/guardian at https://summerschool.lausd.net
  3. Parents may access the following documents for enrollment in our summer program at https://summerschool.lausd.net:  
  • Summer Student Enrollment Application 
  • LAUSD Publicity Authorization and Release (English and Spanish) 
  • LA’s BEST Registration Form (English and Spanish) 
  • BTB Before and After-School Program Application (English and Spanish) 



ATTENDANCE REMINDER

This is gentle reminder to send an absence note with your child when returning from an absence. A doctor's note is required for an absence of 5 or more consecutive days. After three absences with no explanation, students will be considered truant. As we approach the end of the school year, the office staff is busy clearing all student absences with no explanation from the parent or guardian. These absences will be considered unexcused. 

What happens if you forget to send a note? Each month, Maria sends letters to all families with uncleared absences. If you receive a letter, it is very important that you complete the form and return it within 10 days of receiving it. We know that sometimes students may forget to turn in absence notes or teachers may forget that a parent called or emailed the night before. So, even if you've already sent a note or called, we ask that you take the extra step of completing and returning the form to ensure that we have cleared all absences by the end of the school year. 

Thank you!!

UCLA RESEARCH STUDY






      


         MASKING IS REQUIRED          
for CLOSE CONTACTS


This new guidance goes into effect for all Los Angeles Unified sites on Wednesday, May 4, 2022. These guidelines are revised to reflect updated isolation and quarantine requirements in alignment with CDC and California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidance, as well as the latest Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) Health Orders as of April 28, 2022. 

While LAUSD maintains a strongly recommended masking policy due to low in school transmission rates, the LA County Department of Public Health has released an updated health officer order that requires close contacts to wear a mask at all times indoors for 10 days after exposure (in addition to existing requirements to monitor for symptoms and test weekly). Guidelines are subject to change with updated Health Orders and guidelines from LACDPH and/or changes to positivity or case rates. 





VALET ETIQUETTE AND GUIDELINES

As you know, we teach our students to always BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, AND BE TRUSTWORTHY! Sometimes, we as adults, need gentle reminders, too!

Here is a very important reminder about Valet Safety. Please read and heed:

It is imperative that everyone follow proper procedure with regard to the valet service. It has come to our attention that parents are walking students from the school to cars parked in the visitor’s lot and walking with students between the parked buses. For the safety of ALL students, please abide by the following rules both in the morning (7:30-8:15) and afternoon (2:15-3:00):


1. DO NOT enter through the exit gate. Enter only through the east gate.
2. Children are NOT allowed in the parking lot during the carpool hours (7:30am-8:15am and 2:15pm-3:00pm).
3. ALL students should load and unload at the curbside only. In the morning, please drop your student at the valet curb, and then park in the visitor’s lot if you are staying on campus. If you are parked in the school lot in the afternoon, your student must wait at valet for you to pull your car around. You do not have to go to the end of the valet line; simply pull around to the valet curb. The valet attendant will direct you.
4. NEVER walk a student between the parked buses! The valet attendant will cross you and your student to the other side if your car is parked on the street.
5. NEVER leave your car unattended in the valet line.
6. DO NOT try to drive between the buses and the line of valet cars.
7. Be patient when using the valet service.
8. Drive SLOWLY on school grounds.

Also, every valet parent was supplied with a paper placard with your child's name. It would help so much if every valet parent would display this placard in the windshield at pm pick up. If you need a placard, just let us know. We appreciate your cooperation!

Please, let’s all remember that even if you are in a rush, it’s important to be civil and courteous…our kids are watching!

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
