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, 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.

Dear MHMS Families, We are at the approximate halfway point of the first quarter! This is a great time to review grades in Canvas and maintain or establish a plan of action to meet your personal goals. I am looking forward to recognizing students at the end of the quarter with Honor Roll certificates.

Dear MHMS Families, During the 2020-2021 school year, students were unable to engage in the state-mandated assessment MCAP. As a result, students will engage in MCAP in both the fall and the spring of the 2021-2022 school year. The Fall MCAP assessment will assess skills that students learned during the 2020-2021 school year, and will provide teachers with data to better understand student progress towards proficiency on the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards.
