Murphy Elementary District

Additional instructional staff will be added to reduce class sizes and to providing more focused attention for students. Also, each campus will have a targeted reading intervention program. That will provide reading instruction using the SIPPS program, a research based program to teach reading. Each campus will also have an after school program. Each of the programs mentioned will provide support to those most impacted by COVID by targeting the students that participate.

School counselors have been hired for each campus to further support the social emotional and mental health needs of students. Additionally, to provide a well-rounded learning experience that supports the social emotional growth of students, special area teachers, art and music, will be hired to ensure each campus is able to offer these courses. Students will also be provided with after school sports and clubs to provide additional opportunities for structured interaction with peers and adults to further support social emotional growth.
