AN INCREDIBLE BEAUTIFICATION DAY AT CMCS!! 

On Saturday, Community families came out in droves to help beautify our school! Everyone worked super hard cleaning out the weeds and vines outside the main office, filling in the "pot holes" in front of the main office, cleaning and making repairs to the kindergarten yard and playhouses, cleaning the upper and  Room 1 yards, resetting the "railroad ties" in the cafeteria area and breezeways, shelving, cleaning, and assembling new bookcases in the library, cleaning the auditorium seats, and replanting a fruit plant. We are grateful to parents Howard C. (Bei-Hai, Gr. 1) and Ben D. (Luke, Gr. 1, and Ben, Gr. 4) for a SUPERB job organizing such a huge project!



































THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!!!

Congratulations to Principal Harlem on a Job Well Done!

Principal Harlem took over principal duties from Toni on Friday. Principal Harlem recognized Bus Bosses at the morning assembly, checked up on Coach D during PE, completed a bit of paper work in the main office, kept Kathryn busy in the Magnet Office, and had a well-deserved lunch break with star students, Ella P. and Sloan K. Thank you, Principal Harlem!!








ATHLETICS FOR YOUTH PROGRAM IS BACK!

The UCLA "Athletics for Youth" program offers an opportunity for our children to attend select sporting events.  Currently, there is one more event available for the UCLA Women's Volleyball team:

·       UCLA vs. Cal Berkeley (Nov. 19 @ 12 PM)

If you are interested in attending the event, please complete this form .  If you have any difficulties accessing the form, please send an email to Seira Santizo Greenwood (seirasantizo@gmail.com) and Chas Hamilton (chasandamber@gmail.com). 




Several Community Families attended the UCLA Girls Volleyball game against Washington State today. Although the Bruins lost against Washington State, 3-1, it was undoubtedly a great day of fun and time well-spent with fellow Community members! Don't miss out on the next event on November 19th (see above for more info.). 

A big thank you to Seira G. (Alanna, K, and Kaylee, Gr. 2) and Chas H. (Yara, K, and Billie, Gr. 2) for organizing these gatherings for Community!

VALET RULES



    For the SAFETY of your child and ALL children and parents at CMCS, if you are driving your child to school you MUST follow these valet rules. 
    • Arrive at CMCS between 7:30 and 8:00
    • Enter through the gate on the EAST side of the school.
    • Drive along the left curb.  The right curb is a bus lane whether or not the buses have arrived.
    • Wait patiently in a single file line along the left curb of the driveway.
    • When a valet volunteer or LAUSD staff directs you, turn right at the parking lot and pull up to the Valet Curb.  There can be a maximum of 3 cars at the Valet Curb.  
    • Under no circumstances can you park with your child and walk them through the parking lot. If, especially during these first weeks of school, you want to walk your child to the front gate, you MUST drop your child at the Valet Curb and then park your car.  Your child can wait for you near the valet volunteers on the bench by the Valet Curb.
    • When you arrive at the Valet Curb, your child should be ready to exit the car from the passenger side of the vehicle.  IF a passenger side exit from your vehicle is unavailable, your child must wait until a valet volunteer opens the driver side door and escorts them in front of your car onto the curb.
    • Under no circumstances should the driver exit the vehicle.
    • Do not pull around cars in the valet line including at the Valet Curb.  The line is single file from the east gate entrance  through to the west gate exit.  Please wait your turn to drop off your child and to exit campus.
    • FINALLY, be patient and kind.  The valet volunteers and LAUSD staff are there for the safety of your children.  Please treat them, the children, and the other drivers with respect.

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...
