We will be going outside for recess every day if the temperature is above 20 degrees. Please make sure your child has a coat, hat and gloves.

Would you like to work on the same schedule as your child? Do you know someone who is looking for a part time job? Murdock has a few openings. If you are interested in any of the positions listed below please apply online or email me at ddesenfants@lsc.k12.in.us

If your child needs a backpack, please let their teacher know. We have extra backpacks that were donated.

Great job to the parents using the drop off by gym doors located in the bottom parking lot.

If you drive your child to school, please drop them off by the gym.

Do not stop on Cason Street or park in front to drop off your students.

The gym doors open at 7:45 and will close at 8:22. If you arrive after 8:22, please use the front doors.

If your child is arriving tardy to school, 8:25 or later, PLEASE park in front of Murdock and walk your child to the office.

• Do not park on Cason Street and walk to the building to pick up your student between 2:35-2:50

• If you drove to the school to pick up your child, use the car rider line. The car line is working out great and we are getting through all the cars by around 2:52.

• If you need a car rider number, please stop in the main office.
  

• If you arrive at school after 2:52, you will need to pick up your child at the front office.
