Principal's Message
Hello Murwood Families,
As we are half way through our first full week of school, I want to share some very important reminders about safety during drop off and pick up.
- Please be mindful of pedestrians on Vanderslice Ave. as well as those in our parking lot.
- When driving to pick up your student please pull all the way forward. We will send your child to your car. This will help alleviate the traffic back up on Vanderslice.
- Please do not park or leave your car unattended in the drop off lane. This will help alleviate the traffic back up on Vanderslice.
- Please stay in your car when dropping off your student.
- Please do not take video or pictures while driving through the drop off/pick up. We want all students, staff and family members to make it safely into and off of campus.
I know that we we will improve our drop off and pick up process as everyone becomes accustomed to the routines.
Volunteer Information:
We are thrilled to have parent volunteers on campus! Seeing your child in his/her 'learning zone' is an amazing experience, and we'd love your help in supporting all students. All school volunteers must complete the Volunteer Training Module (it's short!). Please click this link to complete your volunteer training.
We are looking for parents to join our School Site Council!
School Site Council (SSC) is a committee of teachers, parents, administrators, and interested community members who work together to develop and monitor the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Our SSC meets monthly from 3:00-4:00 by zoom. If you are interested in participating in this group, please complete this interest form.
Our students had their first music specials today! Be sure to ask how they enjoyed the class.

A GREAT EDUCATION STARTS WITH A STRONG FOUNDATION
Our school is fortunate to have two non-profit, parent-volunteer led organizations to support our students: PTA/PTO and WCEF TK-12. Both have distinct missions and are critical to creating great schools and supportive communities. To learn more, visit wcefk12.org or your school website.
Every year your donations to WCEF ensure programs at our school not funded by the state like weekly art, music, and science lab in TK-5; electives in world languages, elective classes like ABC Innovation and Cartooning at WCI; Robotics and Coyote Video at Tice; and 13 additional classes at Las Lomas. Donate today and support your child's education!
Every dollar matters. Every student benefits.
