2 Days Left! Youth Truth Survey
Thank you to the 220 families who have already completed the survey! Your survey input helps us to improve Murwood Elementary. It's not too late to complete your survey.
Please take the survey before it closes at midnight on February 23rd by clicking this link: ytsurvey.org/wcsdfamily24.
Once you have completed the survey, please send a note/print out of the submitted page for your child to receive a popsicle!
In the Classroom
Our 1st and 2nd grade writers have been diving into the world of expressing their opinions through writing. From sharing favorite foods to discussing preferred hobbies, they're discovering the power of their voices. With guidance, writers are mastering the art of structuring their opinion pieces. They're learning to introduce their topic, provide reasons to support their opinion, and conclude with a strong closing statement.
Teachers are fostering creativity by encouraging students to think outside the box. Whether it's defending their favorite book or advocating for a new school rule, they're embracing imagination and originality in their writing. Every step forward is a reason to celebrate! I can't wait to read their published pieces.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all at our Multicultural Night Event tomorrow!.

Notes From The Office
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
A reminder to all that Murwood is a closed campus during school hours. Visitors and volunteers must sign in at the office and obtain a visitor badge. If you are going to drop off lunches or other items for your child, please bring the items to the office and we will be happy to deliver them. Please do not take items directly to the classroom. Also, we ask that parents not linger in the hallways after the morning bell. If you are staying to volunteer please sign-in.
If your child is going to be absent, please call the school to report the absence on our main number: 925-943-2462 or email fharvery@walnutcreeksd.org. There is a voicemail for leaving messages after hours. Please leave the following information: student name, your name and relationship to student, teacher name, date(s) of absence and reason for absence. Please note that illnesses of 3 consecutive days or more require a note from the doctor. Unverified absences will be recorded as unexcused.
Drop-off reminder: Students may be dropped off 15 minutes prior to the morning bell (7:55 on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri and 8:40 on Wed) where we have morning recess and supervision. Students having breakfast may be dropped off at 7:45 (8:30 on Wed).
As always, thank you for your support.
