Murphy Elementary School

🦁💙 We LOVE our Murphy teachers! 💙🦁

We asked our Lions to pick a teacher who makes them feel happy, special, loved, or always knows how to make them smile and laugh. 🥹✨ Their answers say it all!

We’re so lucky to have teachers who make Murphy such a special place to learn and grow. 🍎📚💙 We love our Murphy family!

We’ve noticed some families are still calling our old bus line telephone number. We have a new provider and new phone line to the bus garage.

To make sure your questions about bus routes, schedules, and delays are answered quickly, please update your contact list today:

First Student, Inc.: 636-671-5545

While the new number is listed on our website, we want to make sure everyone has it at their fingertips. Save it in your phone now so you’re ready for this school year!

We dropped in at Murphy Elementary today to see what our students are learning!

In Ms. Wilson’s second grade class, students were working on plural words. Ms. Skaggs’ fourth graders were tackling math and comparing multi-digit numbers, while Ms. Landis’ kindergarten class was learning positional words like above, beside and below.

📞💙 Positive Phone Calls Home! 💙📞

At Murphy, we are making positive connections with our families a priority! 🌟 Our staff is committed to regularly reaching out to families to share the GREAT things our students are doing at school. 🦁

Whether it’s a phone call, meeting, conference, or conversation at school, we want our Murphy families to hear the positives — big and small! 💛

We know that strong school-family relationships make a BIG difference, and these positive connections are one small way we can continue building them. 🏫🤝💙

We are so proud of our Murphy Lions and love getting the chance to share their successes with the people who love them most! 🦁✨
