Over the course of the 2015-2016 School year Murphy Elementary School began implementing Second Step as a part of our Social Emotional Learning curriculum. For the 2016-2017 school year we will continue this program school wide and Mr. Martinson, along with our Student Support Specialist and Licensed School Counselor Mrs. Ashley Kedrowski, will be implementing the Bullying Prevention components.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Martinson or Mrs. Kedrowski.
You may also contact Mr. Martinson (smartinson@isd318.org) for your www.SecondStep.org “activation key”, available for all Murphy Families.
