Principal's Message

Dear Murdy Families and Students,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! The Murdy Elementary School staff and I are thrilled to welcome back our students to full day, in-person learning this year! We recognize our students need to be here and deserve the best, most interactive learning experiences possible. We will follow all district and California Department of Health guidelines to ensure all of our students get the benefits of in-person learning while being protected as much as possible from the pandemic.
Murdy has earned a reputation of academic excellence through the hard work of our students, teachers, parents, and staff. I look forward to continuing our partnerships with you as we work together to ensure that every child becomes a life-long learner and reaches their academic potential through enriching curriculum, engaging hands-on activities, and inspiring teachers and staff.
It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Murdy Elementary school community. I look forward to working with you to continue the tradition of excellence.
If I can be of assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Marcie Griffith
Principal
Our School
The teachers and staff at John Murdy Elementary are hardworking and dedicated to providing our students with high quality learning experiences and preparing them for future success. We are proud to offer an on-site GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) Program and our district’s first Vietnamese Dual Language Program.
We have a strong commitment to STE(A)M, and recognize the importance of getting technology into the hands of our students. All our students participate in Hour of CODE and many elect to participate in robotics. The last three years, we partnered with a local high school to bring an art teacher to Murdy to provide lessons after school.
