Principal's Message
We are looking forward to seeing all of our 1st-5th grade parents tomorrow, August 29th, at Back to School Night. We will begin promptly at 6:30pm in 4th and 5th grade classrooms followed by a presentation to all families in the MPR at 7:15. Our 1st-3rd grade teachers will round out the evening with their classroom presentations at 7:30.
Thank you to all of our families that came out to the Back to School Picnic on Friday. It was a great way to kick off our weekend.
Safety is always at the forefront of our minds at Murwood. We will be hosting Volunteer Trainings for all parents looking to volunteer in classrooms, at school events and field trips. Please see the dates below.

Notes From The Office
A reminder once again to please be kind, courteous and patient during drop-off and pick-up times and to follow all rules. Safety of the students should always be our first priority.
Please do not park in any of the “Staff”, “Principal” or “Auction Winner” spaces, even “Just for a second”. Teachers and staff need to be able to readily access those spaces. Remember that the yellow curb is for drop-off/pick-up only. Never park and leave your car unattended. Staff will help your get out of the car, so please stay in your vehicle. Also, we have noticed cars going the wrong way when exiting, so please make sure you are pulling around the drive thru with the flow of traffic. During pick-up in the afternoon, please stay in line and do not attempt to bypass the line by driving into the exiting lane. This is an unsafe practice and causes a bottleneck. If you need to park, wait until you are far enough in line to pull into a space safely.
Finally, our neighbors immediately adjacent to the school entrance and those on Kayser Ct., request (per W.C. city traffic code) that cars entering the school not block the driveway or the entrance from the court onto Vanderslice. These residents need to be able to get to and from their homes, so please leave a gap.
Thank you,
Mrs. Kaye
Office Manager
