Dear KT Murphy Community, March 17, 2025

This week is parent teacher conferences.  Report cards are released today in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.  You will also receive an email with a copy of the report card for your review.  We look forward to sharing the growth our students have had since the last marking period.  While you are here, please stop in at the book fair and find something good to read with your child.  It will be open for sales Tuesday-Friday.  

School Climate Survey Open for Families

Please complete the school climate survey for each student at KT Murphy. We appreciate your thoughts.  We will also have Chromebooks available when you come in for conferences if you need to use our Wi-Fi or devices. We appreciate your time and feedback.

Important:

We continue to need support regarding the 2025-2026 budget.  The school board is very supportive of our requests, but parent input at the board of finance and reps meetings is critical.  Some of the possible cuts discussed include some of our front office staff and free lunch for all students.   Please reach out if you have any questions about how to share your support for the current proposed budget.  The Board of Finance has released the FY26 budget presentation and meeting schedule. Please mark your calendars for the following meetings related to the BOE’s proposed 2025-26 operating budget:
