Principal's Message
|
Dear Murwood Families,
Welcome back to School!! There is nothing like the first day of school and all the excitement that goes with meeting your new teacher, connecting with old friends, and making new ones! We have been busy preparing for your arrival and are happy to see old and new families entering our beautiful campus with a smile.
We want to remind you of safety precautions put in place for you: please use the paved walkways around school that connect so that your child never has to enter the parking lot where vehicles travel. Please use our crosswalk and remember to be on the lookout for children walking and on bikes. We ask that our parking lot remain cell phone free and that we all practice civility in the lot by waiting our turn and allowing the car ahead of us to pull out before we try to exit.
Remember that our playground is supervised beginning at 8:00 and that nothing starts the day off better than a good recess before entering the classroom. Finally, the most important thing your family can commit to is on time attendance every day. Be on time! It's our goal!!
If anyone is looking for a great part time job, please consider joining our fantastic crew of noon duty supervisors. It is a paid position from 11:30 - 1:00 every Monday through Friday. You'll help supervise students to keep them safe on the playground and help in the lunchroom making sure everyone enjoys their meal. It is a great way to serve your community, get to know our kids and become part of the Murwood family. Please call 943-2462 if you are interested!
Thank you,
Carol Nenni
Murwood Principal

From the Office
|
Welcome back families! We had a great first day of school today. It was so nice to see the familiar faces back in our office...and meet our new friends as well!
A few reminders of our office policies as we start off the year:
- All visitors MUST sign in at the office and wear a Visitor's Badge while on campus. If you are helping in your child's classroom, please make sure you have pre-arranged it with the teacher.
- All adults MUST present Photo ID at the office for pick up of any child during school hours. Adults should come to the office to show their ID and sign out their student. We will then call the teacher to request the child be sent to the office. Please note that if the ID does not match any names on the child's contact list, the child will not be released.
- If your child will be late or not at school on any given day, please call the MW Attendance Line at 943-2462 x5801 to let us know as soon as possible. Leave the child's name, your name, date, and reason for absence.

From the PTA President

Dear Murwood Families,
Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year
I would like to invite you and your family to get involved in the Murwood PTA. Involvement can be coming to meetings as a member to vote on policy, serving on one of our many committees, or volunteering to stuff envelopes. Involvement is a great way to meet new people, to really see how our school and community functions, and to share your skills with the rest of us. Please contact myself or any of the PTA Executive Board for more information.
This year, I hope you will join us for our first PTA meeting. This first of many exciting meetings for this year!
I hope to see you all next week at Back to School Night, and have a great first week of school!
Colin Wells PTA President
