Parents-Paid Bus Program
Important Information for 2016-17
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are disappointed to report that, despite our best efforts, there will only be one bus available for the Parent-Paid Muirlands Bus Program in the 2016-17 school year. The district is implementing new bus programs, and we were informed that there is no extra bus available.

Important Notice for Incoming 7th Grade Parents/guardians
All incoming 7th graders are required to have the Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis-Whooping Cough) immunization before the 1st day of school.
- By law, your student cannot attend 7th grade in the fall without proof of Tdap Immunization.
Avoid the chaos in the fall! Please consider getting your 6th grader vaccinated now and bring in proof/copy to the Front Office or scan and email a copy of the immunization card to [email protected]. Please include the student's name and "tdap" in the email subject line.
Thank You, Pat Robbins, RN

Textbook Returns
Students: It's time to start collecting all of the textbooks AND library books you have stashed at home and in your lockers! You will all come to the Library during Science class...
- Friday, June 10th: 8th Grade
- Monday, June 13th: 7th Grade
- Tuesday, June 14th: 6th Grade
Borrowed master combination locks are also due with textbook return. Lost or damaged locks will incur a $5.00 replacement charge.
It's also very important to return all library books, and clear any fines as soon as possible!
The library will be open for student use, but with VERY limited seating.
A Note of Appreciation
I, on behalf of the Muirlands library, have a lot to be thankful for! I would like to express my heartfelt and tremendous appreciation for ALL of our great library volunteers, and the terrific team (Trish, Nina & Marcia) who brought them all together! This year was pretty dynamic, so I'm forever thankful for your assistance!
I would also like to thank the generosity of all who donated to the Library Tribute Fund - we acquired a subscription to Junior Library Guild, were able to buy many new and award winning fiction books, replace many of the 'worn' favorites, and supplement several nonfiction subjects with newer updated books for our student resources! The BOOKSHELF program, set up by the Trudeau's for the English classes, was also a tremendous and great success! Teachers were able to buy many books for their classroom libraries, including several sets for Literature circle.
Thank you all so much for your continued support and enthusiasm! You, along with our great students, make not only our library, but Muirlands such a wonderful learning environment! Have a fun and safe summer!
