Month: June 2021

Dear Muraoka Families,

It is hard to believe that we are down to single digits of this school year!  Here is the information for the end of the year:

End of Year Drive-By Parade and Device Return

We will be hosting an End of Year Drive-By Parade and device return opportunity for our Momongas on Wednesday, June 16th!  Please see the attached flyer and map for more information.  We are looking forward to waving at all of our students and kicking off their summer!

Here are some questions you may have about this event:

• Can I bring the device back now? YES! Please return now if you no longer need it.
• What if I have a sibling in another grade level? Can we come together? Yes! Please know teachers from that grade level may not be present at the different time.
• What if I can’t make it? Please come at any of the times if they work for you or contact the front office to arrange another time for drop off. All drop offs for devices must be made by June 22.
• What if I am coming back to Muraoka next year? We need all devices regardless of if you are returning. They must be updated and made ready for on campus learning.

COVID TESTING – WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9^th

Just a reminder that optional COVID Testing for students and staff will take place on our campus on Wednesday, June 9^th.  If you are interested, please see the previous registration email or come by the tent outside of the school campus on Wednesday.

Residency Verification for the 2021-22 School Year

Residency verification is underway for current students at enrolled in Muraoka.  Parents/guardians should have received an email with information on how to complete this process.  If you did not receive this information in your email, please contact our school office.

CVESD Virtual Academy Information:

The CVESD Virtual Academy is a voluntary pilot program developed in alignment with state education proposals, which assume a return to full-time in-person instruction for the 2021-22 school year. The Virtual Academy is not a stop-gap program for families reluctant about resuming in-person instruction. “Success in independent study requires motivation and a strong commitment on the part of the student and, especially for a young student, his or her parents/guardians/caregivers. It also requires sufficient academic preparation to enable the student to work independently.” (California Department of Education, 2020.

Parents/guardians must apply for enrollment during the application window. Applications to the CVESD Virtual Academy must be submitted online by 5 p.m. June 7.  Please visit our district’s website by clicking HERE for the application and FAQs.

Here’s to a great week!

Dear Parent/Guardian:

As you may know, the proposed CVESD Virtual Academy would provide students in Chula Vista with an independent study option as an alternative instructional strategy to meet and enhance their individual student strengths, needs, and learning styles​.
