Marie Murphy Principal Message

Our Student Council will be hosting our annual Veteran's Day event at Marie Murphy on November 11th. Breakfast for our community will be served from 8:30-9:00 and our assembly will be from 9:00-9:30. We want to provide plenty of time for our community to add family veteran's to this google slide show. Slides 3-10 are blank for new entries. Past community entries can be viewed and edited after slide 10.

This is a centerpiece to our assembly and we hope you choose to add your veteran to our slideshow! If you plan to attend please RSVP here.

Thank you!

The ability to book a Meet the Teacher conference closes Tuesday, October 27.

We cannot schedule same day conferences.

New Trier Math Test Part 2

November 18 from 3:30-4:40pm in Mrs. Allen's Room 280

We are excited to share a new addition to our 8th-grade programming this year! In January, Marie Murphy students will join 8th graders from Central School and Sunset Ridge for the Glencoe Career Day. This special event will give students the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths, connect with local professionals, and learn about businesses and industries that may inspire their futures.

The first step is inviting YOU, our community, to be part of this experience! We are looking for parents and community members who would be interested in representing their businesses or professions by hosting a station at Career Day. Students will have the opportunity to visit these stations, interact with professionals, ask questions, and learn firsthand about different careers and industries.

If you are interested in participating and helping inspire our future workforce, please see the information below. We would love to have our Marie Murphy community represented at this exciting event!

Please see the attached flier for more information.

Avoca West and Marie Murphy are hosting a Community Book Drive for Bernie's Book Bank and we need your help! Please donate new or gently used children’s books. Bernie's accepts new and gently used children’s books for children from birth through sixth grade reading level. Bernie's loves all books- fiction, non-fiction, chapter books, picture books and everything in between! Please no textbooks, dictionaries, activity books, coloring books, reference material or religious books.

If you are signed up to receive alerts from PowerSchool, you may also get notifications when your child is marked absent or tardy in the system. Our protocol is to go through the sign-in list and edit accordingly, throughout the month. If you notice an error, please email parkm@avoca37.org and broadcrawfordl@avoca37.org and your student's attendance will be edited per state guidelines.

If your child will be absent, please call the nurse at 847-251-9508 or email mmnurse@avoca37.org

Please refer to the handbook here for more information on our attendance policy.
