Murch ES Enrollment Updates
Below are a few Murch-specific updates and FAQ’s regarding enrollment:
- As a reminder, all new and returning students at Murch ES need to submit an enrollment packet with proof of residency.
- The Murch Welcome Center team encourages electronic submission of enrollment packets. If you need assistance with enrollment, please contact the Welcome Center at 202-282-0130 or email MurchESEnroll@k12.dc.gov.
- Please submit a separate packet for each child who is enrolling.
- DCPS encourages families to send their current Universal Health Certificate (valid for 12 months) and vaccination record when submitting the enrollment forms. Please email your student’s UHC to MurchESEnroll@k12.dc.gov or attach the documents in seamless.
- The deadline for accepting your Pre-K 4 My School DC matched lottery seat is COB May 1, 2023. While there is no deadline for completing enrollment for returning students, we strongly encourage all returning students to complete enrollment by the last day of school (June 22nd). This allows us to meet benchmarks set by downtown and to plan accordingly for class sizes and teacher staffing.
- Our Enrollment Challenge, with a grade-level prize will be announced soon!
- Please make sure you are selecting the 23-24 forms when enrolling for next school year as the forms do change slightly year to year.
- If you are NOT returning to Murch next school year, please let Ms. McGraw know via email so a withdrawal form can be sent to you. The withdrawal form will need to be completed and sent back via email.
- Fifth grade parents, please let Ms. McGraw know via email if your student is NOT headed on to Deal MS so a withdrawal form can be sent to you. The withdrawal form can be completed and sent back via email. The withdrawal form is an important step, as it means that your child’s cumulative record will stay/be stored here at Murch and not travel on with them to Deal.
- If you have any questions or need assistance with the enrollment process, please reach out to the Welcome Center team with any questions: MurchESEnroll@k12.dc.gov.
Murch families, we look forward to receiving your enrollment packets and welcoming your students back for the 2023-24 school year!
