The First Day of School

-


The first day of school is Monday, August 15, 2022!

Classroom and bus assignments are posted on the parent portal!



WELCOME to the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

For the first time in a long time, parents may accompany their students to school and onto campus on the first day of school! Parents may walk with their children to the classroom. Please do not enter closed classrooms. Feel free to take pictures, meet with friends, and celebrate the first day. The bell will ring at 8:06 a.m. at which time parents will be invited to Room 1 for tea, coffee, and refreshments. Instruction will begin promptly at 8:06 a.m., so please do not linger near classrooms after the bell. Parents of English learners will also meet with Phyllis in Room 1. Other than that, this will just be a time to meet and socialize for a few minutes before you head out to enjoy the rest of your day. We look forward to the first day!!


IMPORTANT INFORMATION about 
Breakfast in the Classroom

Due to a staff shortage, Breakfast in the Classroom will actually be served at recess in the cafeteria for the first week of school. Please make sure to provide your child with a healthy breakfast before leaving home.

IMPORTANT BUS INFORMATION  


Welcome to the 2022-23 school year. We are excited to begin a new year with you and your students! Please take a moment to read these details regarding transportation.

If you plan to use the bus, the assigned route/stop must be used – you are not allowed to use other routes/stops for at least the first two weeks of school. If you need to use a different route/stop, please contact Kathryn beginning August 29th. She will be able to make requests for a dual route/stop or for changes to your assigned route or stop. Transportation is generally very accommodating once things settle down after two weeks. Returning families, even if a route/stop change was approved last year, these changes usually reset each year and you have to reapply for the change. Please plan to use only the currently assigned route/stop until Kathryn can apply for a change for you.

If we have not received the Transportation Plan, our default will be to put your student on their assigned bus at dismissal.

If the bus is your transportation plan, we encourage families to use it from the first day on. We find that beginning your plan on the first day makes transitions easier, helps Transportation evaluate the capacity on buses, and minimizes the impact of extra cars to our neighbors. Parents who really want to come to school on the first day are welcome to follow the bus (beat the bus), park (on the upper yard) and then watch your student get off.

We will be updating our website with more info regarding bus and valet protocol very soon. We’re all looking forward to an exciting and rewarding new school year. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!

COVID-19 Testing for Back-to-School

Back to School Rapid Antigen Testing 

All staff and students were invited to pick up a rapid antigen test prior to the first day of school. Students and employees should test within 48 hours of entering campus for the first day of school. 

Specifically for Back to School testing, no action is needed for individuals who test negative or who do not have a test result; students are to attend school on the first day back. 

Any individual with a positive test must stay home from school, follow isolation protocols, and upload the positive test result. ONLY positive test results need to be uploaded into the Daily Pass at dailypass.lausd.net, with a photo of the test kit that includes the following information written on a separate piece of paper: 

○ The individual’s full legal name 

○ The individual’s date of birth 

○ Test date 

○ Test result (“POSITIVE”) 

○ Individual’s last date on site 

An instructional video can be found by clicking on “How to Upload an Antigen Test Result” at: achieve.lausd.net/covidvideos. 

First Week of School 

Schools will distribute antigen rapid tests at the end of the first week of school. All students and staff should also take a rapid antigen test within 48 hours prior to the start of the second week of school.

  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...
