FAMILIES
Welcome Murray Families!
Everyone is welcome at Murray and we’re proud of the families who attend our school events and our volunteers and community partners who help students during the school day.
Quick Links
Prospective Families
Tours of Murray for prospective students going into 6th, 7th or 8th grade and their families align with the district’s registration process for Middle School. Make arrangements to visit Murray by connecting with our Parent Involvement Coordinator Stefanie Folkema. We can't wait to welcome you to our school.
The deadline for applications is February 23, 2024 and then the Placement Center begins processing them. The Placement Center does not give priority to early registrations – but don’t be late in getting in your request. Applications for Middle School are not sent to Murray. They are handled through the student's elementary school.
