Principal's Message
Parents,
Please join Murwood staff, Site Council, and District Representatives for TODAY'S meeting with WLC Architects. They will be presenting information that will help us create the Master Plan for each of our schools in the district. Having spent Friday touring 21st century schools in Marin County, you won't want to miss this opportunity to take a look at and provide input into the process for making our district the innovative leaders our students deserve. See you at 3 PM in the library!
Best of luck to our Spelling Bee finalists on Friday! We are proud of you!
Carol Nenni
Murwood Principal

District News
District Master Plan
In June, 2016, WCSD passed a facility bond to upgrade facilities, infrastructure and improve energy efficiency in all Walnut Creek School District Schools. In November, the Governing Board contracted with WLC Architects to create a Master Plan for the district to ensure we have a comprehensive blueprint to provide students with safe, 21st century learning environments.
Please join Murwood staff and District Representatives to engage stakeholders in defining the How and Why Schools look different in the 21st Century on
TODAY at 3 PM in the Murwood Library.

Please join WCEF - Walnut Creek Education Foundation team on OhmConnect? It's a program that donates to the school when you save energy at home. We need to replace eScrip this year and this program is free and super simple to join. Let Alison Gomez know if you have any questions about it!
