A
Message from Superintendent Richard R. Tranter
August 2010
Welcome
Back to Murray City School District Schools! It is hard
to believe summer break is over, and the new school year is underway.
While I hope you and your family have had a great summer, I look
forward to welcoming all of our students back. Our staff has been
working hard to have things prepared and our united goal is to serve
all students in the Murray City School District and provide them
the very best education possible. In
the Murray District, we believe that communication is an important
key to serving our educational community. We have several methods
that we use to share information for students, teachers and patrons,
including:
1. Murray
District website (right
here) – a great source for calendar, special activities,
forms, curriculum info, HR, nutrition and so much other information.
It changes often, so keep checking it out! We also send out "Twitter"
updates every day on district events. Follow us at MurraySchoolsUT.
2. “Your
Murray Schools” district newsletter – published 6 times
a year in the locally distributed, free Murray
Journal, including our Murray Community Education insert.
3. MurrENEWS
– an electronic publication which goes out regularly to all
Murray District employees and by request. If you would like to sign
up for informative email, just send a request to info@murrayschools.org
4. We
have a good relationship with local newspapers, radio and television
organizations, so watch for coverage of our Murray Schools activities.
If
you are new to our district, you may want to be aware that our Board
of Education generally meets on the second Wednesday of each
month and visitors are welcome.
We hope that this information will be beneficial to assist you in
becoming more acquainted with MCSD as we begin the new school year.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us at the
District
Offices, located at 147 East 5065 South, 801-264-7400). Our
staff receptionist, Sharon Knapp, will be happy to direct your calls,
or feel free to ask for our Public Information Specialist, D. Wright.
From
all of us at the Murray City School District, we hope you have an
outstanding 2010-2011 school year!
