The Murphy Guidance Department would like to welcome Mrs. Amy Poulos to our department. Mrs. Poulos was at Murphy several years ago as an intern and a leave replacement. We are so happy to have her back on a permanent basis! On September 18th we will host our annual New Teacher Breakfast. We invite all new teachers, as well as student teachers to join us for breakfast while we introduce ourselves and the functions of our office.
The Guidance Department has been very busy with the opening of school. We have made a number of schedule changes to enhance student learning, registered many new students, participated in new teacher orientations, and began re-familiarizing ourselves with our students after a nice summer vacation. In the new few weeks we will begin meeting every 7th grade student as we invite them into the guidance office through their art, technology and home and careers classes. They will learn who their guidance counselor is, how to use our office and how to make a guidance appointment.
Starting in the late fall and continuing throughout the winter and spring we will be meeting with 8th graders and their parents to an individual session to develop a Four-Year Plan for high school. Please watch for our invitation letter later in the year. The Guidance Department encourages parents to call or make appointments with their child's Guidance Counselor if they have any questions or concerns. We can be reached directly at 730-4840.
