We are very close to completely collecting one card for each student at our school! It is very important that we collect 100% of these cards. If your student brings home a new card or correction we ask that you return these as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to collecting cards.

Please call each school directly for student concerns as each school has their own office and database. Branch Elementary 760-306-4966, Bailey Elementary 760-306-4911, Desert Jr/Sr High School 760-306-4964.

All volunteers, including chaperones, must be board approved before they can visit our campus or attend field trips. You must completed the Muroc Volunteers Program before you can be board approved. Please visit our district website at https://www.muroc.k12.ca.us/district_information/muroc_volunteer_program for requirements and to start the online application.

Please check the Lost and Found in the office for any items student may have left at school. All items left behind will be donated on Friday 6/10.

This is a reminder that tomorrow will be our Picture Day Retakes. Please inform your students teacher or contact the front office if you'd like for your student to retake their picture.

Every year we ask that parents update their contact information with the front office and return opening day packet information. As we move more toward paperless we will be asking every parent to take advantage of the features Parent Portal offers. You will still receive your paper opening day packet this year but digital copies will be available on the portal. We are also asking that every parent completes the Free and Reduced Lunch application. Every student in California now receives free breakfast and lunch through public schools. To receive funding for this program through the state, we need to have Free and Reduced Lunch applications completed by all parents. Even if you think you will not qualify, please complete the application either online or on paper. Please click below for detailed information.

Our meeting will be held in the Branch Library on Wednesday, November 8 at 8:00 am. We look forward to seeing you there!
