Muraoka Families,
Please help us welcome our new principal, Mrs. Mazeau as she transitions to Muraoka this week.
Office visits to drop off personal items: We kindly ask that you DO NOT BRING LUNCHES, WATER BOTTLES, OR OTHER ITEMS TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE during the school day. Unfortunately, we have had an overwhelming number of parents visiting the office to deliver personal items and we are unable to accommodate these requests.
PTO News: New Muraoka t-shirt preorders are in and will be delivered to student classrooms. We will no longer accept preorders. Thank you to the parents and school staff that placed an order.
Thank you to the school, teachers, parents, and community for making our book fair a great success. We are happy to announce the classroom that received the most donated books is Sra. Beltran’s 5th grade Dual Immersion. Their class will be able to receive a PTO sponsored party. Information will be forwarded to the teacher.
PTO has a treasurer nomination. Voting will take place soon.
PTO Membership Drive has been extended until 05 November. If interested in becoming a member please reach out to muraokapto@gmail.com for registration information. No commitment is necessary. The class with the most registrations will win a class reward.
Parent Volunteers: Can you commit to 4-6 hours per week? If so, we need you! Parent volunteers are an important element in creating a successful and enriching school environment. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the front office for requirements.
Covid Update: MURAOKA HAD ZERO NEW COVID CASES REPORTED LAST WEEK. To date, Muraoka has had a total of 36 COVID cases. Thank you for your continued support with keeping your children at home if they have any COVID symptoms and letting the office know the reason for your children’s absences. Please continue to contact us with any COVID-related questions. Please email COVID test results to our Attendance/Health Clerk, melina.cardenas@cvesd.org
Garden Bud Club: Will meet in the MPR after school on Thursdays beginning 11/4. The first meeting will be an all-student Garden Bud Assembly to establish expectations.
There is an official permission slip that must be signed and returned to attend on Thursday. It will be sent with your child this week.
Kickball Team: We had a great turnout at Kickball tryouts last week! Additional information is needed in order to help with team selection. If your 5th or 6th grade student is still interested in the team, please sign, and return the permission slip as soon as possible. These permission slips can be picked up with Mr. Lopez
