Dear Parent,
Attached you will find a copy of the State of Texas 2022-23 School Report Card for Murchison Elementary. This is a report required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. It is to be sent to the parent or guardian of every child enrolled in a Texas public school. The report provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), College, Career, and Military Readiness, as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures.
Due to judicial proceedings, the release of the 2023 School Report Card was significantly delayed. Alongside our 2023 School Report Card, we encourage you to visit TXschools.gov to learn more about our school’s performance in the 2024-2025 school year.
The information contained in the School Report Card is required by state law and much of the technical language used is defined and described in the enclosed “2023 School Report Card Definitions.” The report for our school may or may not have all the information described because the information presented depends on whether the school is an elementary, middle, or high school.
State law requires that the school report card display information about the state, the district, and the school. Where possible, the information must be reported by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status of the students and must include at least two years of results.
The School Report Cards can be found online at TEA School Report Card.
A more complete report about Murchison Elementary, the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), is available by contacting my office or can be accessed online at Texas Academic Report Cards.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this report card. Thank you for your continued support of Murchison Elementary.
Sincerely,
Carrie Quinney, Principal
Murchison Elementary
Open House is coming! Open House at Murchison is on Tuesday, September 23. There will be two sessions with identical information so that you can attend the session that works for you. There will be one session from 5:30-5:55 and another session from 6:00-6:25. Some possible topics that your child's teacher may discuss include: grade level goals for the year, academic content your child will learn in this grade level, discipline and class rules, teacher's conference time and how to get in touch with the teacher, homework, report cards, attendance, make-up work, class parties, and the STAAR test.
Grandparents' Day at Murchison is September 22. Grandparents are invited to come each lunch with their grandchild, then shop the Book Fair.
Students who do not have a grandparent come will get to enjoy a fun lunch in their classroom with their teacher.
See the flyer below for more information about times and ordering lunch.
Murchison Elementary is getting ready to launch UIL practices in preparation for the Meet on January 24th. There are multiple options for students to participate in and benefit from this enrichment activity.
