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.
Check out these five simple ways to celebrate Georgia Reads Week with your family!

PVIS celebrated its first GRADUATE today! Georgia high school students have earned a diploma when they complete 23 required high school courses. Some of our students started the year with only a few left to go! We have several more coming in the upcoming weeks, so be on the lookout for more students to celebrate!

From keeping our network secure to supporting technology in the classroom, this is the crew working behind the scenes to help make sure our students and teachers stay connected every day.
Happy National IT Professionals Day to the Murray Technology team!

PVIS Senior Parents- We have exciting news about our Graduation Ceremony! Call 706-517-5355 with any questions.

PVIS Families- our school had a fire alarm this morning. Our local fire department has come to address the concern and has cleared our building as safe. The source was found to be malfunctioning equipment and there was no fire or smoke present. We have resumed our regular schedule and appreciate the quick responses by all students, staff, and our community partners.
Senior Parents: please email 4 pictures of your senior to include in our Graduation Celebration to pvismedia@murray.k12.ga.us. These pictures can be baby, school age, or recent and will be on display. Please make sure to include the name of the senior and your name as well. We are excited to be planning now for the Big Day!
Brace yourselves for some excitement! Pleasant Valley staff and students have been hard at work doing what we do best- completing courses and graduating students! Be on the lookout for lots of celebrations, as the past few weeks have been busy, busy, busy! We have many more working hard to be our next graduates. These are life-changing moves, and we are so proud of their hard work!
