Good Morning Muraski Families,


I hope this newsletter finds you well, and maybe feeling a bit lucky with the passing of St. Patrick's Day! We are less than two weeks away from Spring Break and have so many fun things happening at Muraski. Our PTA has planned several events, so make sure you take a look at those. Enjoy the sunshine and hopefully warming temperatures stay with us through our break.


Have a great week!

Senate Bill 288 - Erin's Law

As a part of Senate Bill 288 (SB 288), school districts must provide students in grades kindergarten through six developmentally appropriate instruction on child sexual abuse prevention, including information on available counseling and resources for children who may experience abuse. To meet the requirements of the law, our school counselors will be teaching lessons to our K-5 students from a supplemental component of our Second Step program, Child Protective Unit.


Concepts that will be included are:

Gr. K & 1 - The Always Ask First Rule

Gr. 2 & 3 - Safe & Unsafe Touches

Gr. 4 & 5 - Keeping Yourself Safe


If you do not wish for your child to participate in the child protection curriculum, please sign and return the opt-out form (linked below) by March 24th.

School Fees School Fees

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 Melissa LePage (mlepage@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.
