Murray Independent Families,
This week begins the 2nd Quarter of instruction for your child (ren) in the Murray Independent School District. First, we want to say thank you for your support over these past months as we’ve navigated this unusual time together. We appreciate not only your support but the hard work that you and your child/children have put in each and every day to continue to learn and grow. It takes a team to ensure the best learning possible for our students and we appreciate the partnership of our families and community.
As we move through this school year, we will continue to evaluate the learning environment for students as well as make adjustments as needed to instruction. After careful consideration, we plan to make the following adjustments to scheduling for the 2nd Quarter:
Students in Kindergarten - 6th Grade
Students in kindergarten through 6th grade will continue to attend in person, if selected, five (5) days per week. Online instruction for these grades continues to be an option for families.
Wednesday Virtual Instruction Days - All Students Grades 7-12
Beginning Wednesday October 28th and for the remainder of the quarter, until December 18th, students in 7th and 8th grade will attend school in person four (4) days per week, with a virtual learning day each Wednesday. For those who select in person instruction, students will attend Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Murray High students will continue virtual learning days on Wednesdays attending in person for those who select that mode of instruction on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday.
Virtual Instruction Days - All Students November 23rd & 24th
Monday November 23rd and Tuesday November 24th (Thanksgiving week) will be VIRTUAL instruction days for all students in the Murray Independent School District.
Teachers will send home or work virtually with students on these days, but no students will be on campus for the week of November 23rd-November 27th.
If you have questions, please contact your child’s school.
Sincerely,
Coy D. Samons, Superintendent
Murray Independent School District Superintendent
