Book Vending Machines are making their way into Murray County Schools! 📚
Chatsworth Elementary, Coker Elementary, Bagley Middle, and Gladden Middle are among the first schools to receive their new Book Vending Machines!
These machines give students a fun way to get books of their own while encouraging a love of reading.
A special thank you to Instructional Technology Director Adriane Ellis and Federal Programs Director Donna Eskut for helping bring this longtime goal to life!
We also appreciate Chris Crow and Jamie Dunn from our Maintenance Department for making sure the machines were delivered and safely installed at each school.
And we're not finished yet! More Book Vending Machines are on the way!

Murray County Schools is partnering with Edia Learning to make it easier for families and schools to communicate about student attendance.
If your child is absent, you may receive a text message from our new AI Attendance Assistant. Families can reply directly to the message, send documentation such as doctor’s notes, and communicate in the language they’re most comfortable using.
As with any new tool, there may be a few adjustments along the way. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the rollout and make sure the system is working as smoothly as possible for our families.

Today, we’re celebrating the custodians who do so much behind the scenes to take care of our schools.
A lot of their work happens before students arrive, after they leave, and all throughout the day. We’re thankful for everything they do to keep our schools clean, safe, and welcoming.
Happy National School Custodian Appreciation Day to our amazing custodial teams across Murray County Schools!

Today is Georgia Reads Day and the start of Georgia Reads Week! 📚
Building strong readers doesn’t only happen in the classroom. Some of the best opportunities happen in the everyday moments families share together.
This week, Georgia Reads is encouraging families to spend a few minutes each day reading, talking, singing, sharing stories, and connecting. Even a few minutes together can make a difference.
