Happy Rosh Hashanah - No School October 3rd
NO SCHOOL
Thursday, October 3, 2024
Dear Community Families,
Tutoring - Phyllis Tuesday Enrichment - Kathryn Musical Theater - Lindsay
Math Kangaroo - Howard (Toni) Intervention - Toni
Thank you for allowing your students to participate in these various activities. It strengthens friendships, builds community, and provides something for just about everyone. Please hang in there with the late bus situation. LA traffic is no joke! I don't know how they do it, but our bus drivers deal with it all day, every day . . . with a bus full of active students and no other adult support. Please be sure to give your thanks to them whenever you can. They work so hard!
Anyway, we have another busy week ahead. If you are a parent volunteer, please plan to attend the parent volunteer orientation on Friday. See details below. If you're unable to make it in person or via Zoom, no worries- we will schedule another orientation soon. Immediately following this orientation will be presentations of our 24-25 Safe School Plan and Suicide Prevention Awareness training for parents and caregivers.
And a heads up: A registration link for Session 2 of Tuesday Enrichment classes will be in next week's blog. Be aware and don't miss out!
I look forward to seeing our volunteers on Friday!!
Best,
Toni
TUESDAY ENRICHMENT SESSION 2 BEGINS SOON!

Countdown: 10 left of Pledge Drive Campaign!!!
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO HELP!
Is this the year?
Will you help us reach 100% participation and make a BIG difference!
Together we can!
We are ~ $63K to goal!!!
In a few weeks families have come together and pledged $202,317!
The Pledge Drive raises nearly 2/3 of the funds we need to support CMCS and this effort is the foundation of our fundraising. During the 2024-2025 School Year PLEDGE needs to raise $265,000 of our total $380,187 to support CMCS. Other fundraisers in the year such as, Parade of Masks “POM”, Read-A-Thon, Spring Dance and Pump It Up “PIU”, help us reach our total fundraising goal, so your support throughout the year is essential!

Thank you to all the parents who have already submitted volunteer applications for the 2024-2025 school year. While quite a few applications have been approved, many are stuck in the process because of expired TB clearance. TB clearance must be updated every 4 years, so if your TB clearance was provided in 2020, it's time to update.
Please look out for the parent volunteer training coming soon.
SCHOOL IS COMPULSORY!
Students need to come to school every day. When possible, please schedule your child’s medical appointments outside of school hours. (See the bell schedule for our school hours.) If you must schedule an appointment during school hours, please check in at the main office to pick up/drop off your child.
The following types of absences are excused: illness, doctor’s appointments, funerals, family emergencies, court dates, religious observances, etc. Examples of unexcused absences include: vacations, “we slept in,” “we took a family day,” “we went to Disneyland for her birthday,” "we visited relatives out of state/country," etc. Even if you send in a note to explain the absence, those examples would be designated as unexcused. For more information, please refer to LAUSD’s Attendance Guide.
You may know that LAUSD has an Independent Study program. This program is intended to provide make-up classwork for students who must miss school for legitimate long-term absences (for example, needing to go out of town for a death in the family, quarantine/lengthy stay at home for serious illness, or needing to make a visa appointment in a home country). Independent Study is NOT for “we are taking 2 weeks off and going abroad,” or “we are starting our Winter Break 10 days early.” For Independent Study in excess of 15 days, you must enroll in the online City of Angels program.
REGISTER FOR KIDS 4 COLLEGE FREE AFTER SCHOOL CHILD CARE
- 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.
