As HCPSS plans for technology needs in the event of virtual instruction, HCPSS is requesting all families to complete a brief questionnaire regarding your child’s/children’s device needs.

Dear MHMS Families, I just want to remind all families that according to HCPSS Policy, middle school students are not permitted to use their personal devices (i.e. cell phones) during non-instructional time, which is to include, but not limited to, transitions in the hallways, at lunchtime, at recess, and in bathrooms.

Dear MHMS Families, During this season in which many reflect on the things that they are thankful for, I would like to take a moment to share how thankful I am to be the Principal of Murray Hill Middle School. It is an honor and a privilege to work with so many amazing and supportive families.

Dear MHMS Families, Last Wednesday, we took a pause from curriculum instruction and spent the day reviewing expectations, procedures, policies, and engaging in activities focused on respect and building community. Students had the opportunity to review, discuss and share their thoughts around improving our school culture.

Dear MHMS Families, It is amazing that today is the first day of the second quarter of the 2021-2022 school year. We have had so many successes during the first quarter of the school year, and we are looking forward to continued success as we progress through the school year.

Dear MHMS Families, There were a lot of GREAT things happening at MHMS last week.

Dear MHMS Families, As we settle into the 2021-2022 school year, I would like to ask our families to have conversations regarding appropriate behaviors in school. At Murray Hill Middle School we embrace an environment and a community in which all students, staff, and visitors feel welcome, feel safe, and feel valued. Recently we have recognized students engaging in behaviors that are not aligned with our core values as a school community. At times, these behaviors are seen by students as playful, but the reality is they are not school appropriate. We will be conducting reminder lessons in all of our classes in the near future to “reset” and ensure that all students are reminded of our expectations. I will also begin to include a “MHMS Expectation Tip” in the Murray Messenger, so that parents continue to be reminded of our expectations and can reiterate them at home.
