Good Morning Muraski Families,

The holiday season is upon us and that couldn't be more evident then during the week of the Holiday Shop at Muraski. This is such a fun and exciting opportunity for our students, and they are in for an incredible surprise, as the PTA has gone above and beyond to move the shop in house, working all year round to allocate a variety of different items that students can purchase.

These two weeks fly by, as there is a lot going on and a great deal to get ready for, both at school and at home. Please take a look at the schedule below, take a look at our PRIDE Ticket Winners, as well as other information within the building and district.

Thanks in advance!

Happy Holidays & Go Mustangs!

This year’s theme - “Show Your Voice” - calls for your own unique interpretation through the arts.

For the 2022-23 school year, we will be returning to our normal school breakfast / lunch program. The free program has been discontinued by the Federal government. To determine eligibility for free / reduced lunch, as well as various additional state and federal program benefits inclusive of possible district student fees being waived, an application must be completed online. The 2022-23 Free / Reduced Meal Application is currently available to complete.

PaySchools Central is an online payment platform to help make managing breakfast and lunch and fee payments easier for families. Click below to set up your portal to be used both online and via the mobile app.

As a reminder, all school fees that have not been paid are now considered past due. To check the balance and pay outstanding school fees, go to Pay Schools Central by clicking HERE. In addition to Pay Schools Central, school fees can be paid by cash/check to your student’s building secretary or with the Treasurer's Office. If you have questions related to this, please contact the building secretary or Dawn Evangelista (devangelista@scsmustangs.org) within the Treasurer's Department. As we are approaching a new school year, as well as the start of fall sports, per Board of Education policy, the consequences for outstanding prior year school fees will prohibit students from participating in any school extracurricular activities (i.e., athletics, student council, school clubs, etc.), field trips, and school sanctioned dances / events that require a purchased ticket. For additional information on District Fee Collection Procedures and Consequences CLICK HERE.
