Hi! My name is Ms. Weston, and I am the School Counselor at Murdock Elementary. This is my 20th year as a school counselor, and I am so excited to be part of the Murdock community!
I work with students in a variety of ways. I meet with students individually to address concerns that may affect their school experience or performance. I lead small groups where students can learn and practice specific skills, and I teach whole-class lessons that proactively build skills students need to find success in school and in life.
I am also available every day for students who need a break, a quiet moment, or help getting calm and ready to learn. Sometimes a student just needs a safe place and a little time to reset—and that’s okay!
Please reach out anytime you have a concern, question, or simply want to share something about your child or their experience at Murdock Elementary. We are a team, and I am here to help!

Students and parents that have signed and returned the tech forms, will start taking iPads home in September.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th will take iPADs home every Monday Tuesday.
Please make sure your child returns their iPAD the next day with a full charge. For those that requested chargers be sent home, they will be come home with the student. Please remember that the chargers will need to be returned at the end of the year.
When they are working on their iPADs at home, please make sure they are being handled with care.
Do not use iPADs while eating or drinking.
Have the iPad on a flat surface so it does not fall.
