Principal's Message
As our weather finally starts to warm up, some students may get the urge to want to stay home. Please make the most of our final 6 weeks of school, by ensuring that your child is here each day. There is still much to learn and we have meaningful instruction planned each day.
Walnut Creek School District remains committed to ensuring health and safety is a priority. The district will continue to implement and adhere to all requirements set forth by the California Department of Public Health. We appreciate our partnership with Contra Costa Health Services who will continue to serve as our support system for all COVID-related matters. We also advise staff and families to follow the recommendations found in the new 2022-23 COVID Guidance for schools.
We want to hear from you!
We would like feedback about your experience as a parent or guardian at Murwood. We’ve partnered with the national nonprofit, YouthTruth, to help us gather feedback about what we are doing well, and how we can improve. Between now and April 28th please visit ytsurvey.org/wcsdfamily23 to take the 15 minute anonymous survey online.
Thank you for the gift of your feedback.

Notes From The Office
Oral Health Assessments
California Education Code requires all students to have a dental check up by May 31st of his/her first year in public school. This applies mainly to TK, Kindergarten, and some 1st grade students. If your child recently had a dental check up, please take the linked form below to your dentist for them to complete and sign. Hard copies of the form can also be obtained in the office. If your child has not had an exam, please schedule an appointment before May 31, 2023. Completed forms can be dropped off at the office or emailed to nkaye@walnutcreeksd.org. If you need assistance with finding dental resources please contact the office.
Enjoy the beautiful sunshine!
