CVESD ThoughtExchange Survey

It is not too late to participate! This is your opportunity to share what is going well or what you believe could improve your student’s educational experience. We would love to see all our families participate. If you do not feel like sharing your thoughts, you can log in to read the thoughts of others and rate them as important to you or not that important to you.

Our annual ThoughtExchange for community input on the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is now open! Please see the flyer (in English and Spanish) for more information. This year, we are asking the question: What are some things we are doing well, and what could improve the educational experience we provide students through the LCAP?

The LCAP shapes our District’s goals and guides our budgeting priorities at both the district and school levels. Please join in on the conversation from Feb. 1 through May 1, 2023.

Muraoka Families.

We are now in the final stretch of the quarter! This is our final week before Spring Break and we will continue parent teacher conferences and minimum days. Kindergarten dismissal is 1pm and 2nd-6th dismissal is 1:15pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss your child’s progress. Every family is expected to participate in a conference so please reach out to your classroom teacher if you have yet to schedule a conference time. We are so proud of our Momongas and their growth! We look forward to recognizing many of them at our Model Momonga assembly on Monday and our Matsuri Awards throughout the week.

Mrs. Mazeau and Mrs. Rayray would like to wish all our Momongas a safe and restful spring break! We will see you all on Monday, April 3rd for a minimum day. Please read below for updates about our PTO Read-A-Thon!

Cell Phones and Phone Watches:

We have seen an increase in students using personal cell phone and phone/watches on campus. For your student to bring a cell phone onto campus, they must have a cell phone policy contract signed and on file (contract was included in the beginning of the year forms). The cell phone contract indicates that all cell phones must be turned off and put away from the moment your student arrives on campus until they depart. Cell phones will be held in the office or with classroom teacher until a parent is able to pick up if the cell phone contract is violated. If your child is wearing a watch that can act as a phone, those features must be disabled while on campus. Thank you for your support.

Breakfast served daily from 7:35am -8:05am:

This is a friendly reminder that free breakfast for Muraoka Students is served from 7:35 am-8:05 am as stated in our parent handbook. Please arrive prior to 8:05 if your student plans to eat breakfast. This will allow students sufficient time to eat and arrive to class on time.
