 Happy Hanukkah! May your candles burn bright this season!





MUSICAL THEATER UPDATE:

Due to overwhelming demand, we have added an extra day of after-school musical theater! Musical Theater begins Tuesday, January 16 (1:30-3:30) and Thursday, January 18 (2:30-4:30). All students who were on the waitlist have been added to the Thursday program. Both sessions are now full. Anyone who has not yet signed up, but still interested, will be added to a waitlist. We really appreciate the patience and cooperation from our amazing parents as we offer this program for free to our students.



TUESDAY ENRICHMENT UPDATE:

Our Tuesday Enrichment classes also filled up quickly! We will be working on the schedule this week, so stay tuned . . . 




Our Math Kangaroo Club is also full! Thank you to the teachers and parent volunteers who have stepped up to make this a great opportunity for our students. We will be registering students this week, so stay tuned for more info to come . . .

AFTER-SCHOOL CHILD CARE UPDATE

Last week, Coach Wendy from Youth Services joined our after-school child care team! Coach Wendy will be working with students, Gr. 2-5. We are so happy to have two programs supporting our after-school child care needs!

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.

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

IMPORTANT NEWS REGARDING THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

Dear Community Families, Over the weekend, I was notified that Got Game Camp, our after-school program, would be taking a temporary pause in operation effective immediately. Coach K has contacted all affected families and he and his team are working around the clock to get the program back up and running as soon as possible. We wish them the best of luck in this endeavor and hope for their quick return. 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
