Thanks to our community, our Spring Scholastic Book Fair was a HUGE success!!!  With your purchases we raised over $10,000 for Sarah Lilly to buy more books for our library shelves. 

During the fair, it was so special to roll out the red carpet for our Grandparents.  They were thrilled to choose books with their grandchildren and foster their love of reading.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT PARENT VOLUNTEERS

We LOVE our parent volunteers because they do SO MUCH for our students! The Annual Read-a-thon, Sweethearts Dance, the heritage assemblies, the Book Fair, and helping teachers in the classrooms, chaperoning field trips, and valet . . . it all matters a lot and we are all grateful for your strong support! As we readjust to having volunteers back on campus, we must remind you of the following:

1) Once you have opened an online volunteer application, you have 30 days to complete the process: submit your parent commitment form, TB test clearance (within 4 years), and fingerprinting for one-on-one tutors and overnight field trip chaperones. If you plan to volunteer on campus, you must upload your COVID vaccination card to dailypass.lausd.net to be approved by LAUSD's Community Engagement. 

All incomplete applications created before February 10, 2023 have been declined. If your application was declined, you are welcome to reapply once you are ready to submit the required documents.

2) You may volunteer on campus only after your application and COVID vaccine card have been received, reviewed, and approved by Community Engagement. You will be notified by Parent and Community Services once you are approved.





Community Magnet is not a host school for the Acceleration Days. Our students will be assigned to Fairburn ES. Need your student in a school closer to home for Acceleration Days? Stay tuned for more information on this from the district soon!

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

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
