A Message from your Community Liaison

With great enthusiasm, we started the first "Coffee with the Principal" meeting on September 6. Several parents and grandparents shared their thoughts with Dr. Joel Miller, Principal of Murray High School. They had the opportunity to express their concerns and suggestions to Dr. Miller, who listened carefully and noted their comments.

We are looking forward to the next meeting, which will be on October 4, 2024, from 9 am to 10 am. We will be sharing delicious coffee and bread with you.

Please remember that the meeting is in English and Spanish because we aim to have effective communication with you and, most importantly, to ensure you are comfortable speaking in your language.

On October 3, 2024, we will commence the meetings with the Community School Advisory and School Site Council. We invite you to refer to the flyer and mark your calendars for the upcoming meetings. If necessary, please seek permission from your workplace to attend and support your students.

Attendance News

Ms. Oliver's message

Major General Raymond Murray High School is committed to preparing students to progress academically, to achieve success, and to accept responsibility for themselves. As a part of this commitment, the school has established attendance performance guidelines for all students.

To report an absence please call: (760) 631-2502 ext.89005

Leave a message and be sure to include the following:

Date of the absence
Your child's name
Date of birth and/or Grade
Reason for the absence
Your name, relation to the student, and a callback number

When a student returns to school following an absence, the parent/guardian has 72 hours (3 school days) to notify the school with the reason for the absence and to turn in any medical verification for medical appointments. Any student with 10 excused absences verified by phone calls will be required to provide a written explanation for all future absences. This verification must be written by the appropriate professional on his/her letterhead, addressing the medical, and legal or bereavement reasons. Medical & dental notes may be emailed to carololiver@vistausd.org or faxed to 760-631-2503.
