Good Afternoon Murphy Families,

I hope that you are all having an amazing, relaxing and safe summer. This is always a great time for our students to spend time with families, rejuvenate . . . and get excited about the upcoming school year!


I wanted to reach out with a few summer updates in order to stay connected and help families plan for the fall. Please take a moment to view the important information in this newsletter.


Last school year was filled with many successes and I'm excited to build on our momentum going into the 2024-2025 school year. We view our families as incredible partners as we work to educate our students. I invite you all to seek opportunities for involvement throughout the year.


We look forward to seeing you all in September!

Class Placement

Families will be able to access teacher placement on the Aspen Family Portal later this month. The anticipated date for this information availability will be August 23.

Supplies for SY 24-25

School Supplies for the 24-25 School Year: While there is not a mandated supply list and we will provide items needed by students for the school year, we would like to recognize that many families enjoy the ritual of back to school shopping and that some students enjoy picking out special items. In response to inquiries about needed items, please view our grade-level supply lists.


Families are encouraged to send their child with a backpack and lunch box, and are still welcome to provide incredibly helpful supplies and/or donate items (i.e. paper towels, cleaning wipes, tissues) if they choose to do so.

Please use the following links: Summer Reading and Summer Math.


Lexia is available for students who use the program.
