Special Services

NURSE

The school health program is a vital part of the total school operation. This program provides a wide variety of services within the school setting to include emergency care, medication, treatment, consultation with parents and school personnel, and referral. Murray School has the services of a registered nurse qualified in preventive health, health assessment and referral procedures. The success of the school health program relies on communication among the school nurse, other staff, and parents of the students. Information concerning the health of students must be shared in order to protect the health of the students while they are at school.

Fort Bragg Schools’ medication policy statement encourages administration of medications at home. If necessary, medications in the original container with a prescription label may be given to students at school after parents complete an Administration of Medication Request Form. Non-prescription medication will not be given unless accompanied by a written doctor’s order and supplied in the original container with the appropriate label intact. Medications should not be transported to or from school by students.

GUIDANCE SERVICES

All schools on Fort Bragg have a full-time counselor/s to address the affective needs of students and their families. At Murray, group guidance lessons are offered to all students in grades K-4 in addition to individual and group counseling. Workshops for parents on parenting skills and helping children become successful learners are offered.

MEDIA SERVICES

Murray School has a fully equipped media center with a full-time media specialist and media clerk. Each student (K-4) is scheduled for media once during the six day rotation to exchange books and participate in lessons about how to use the library and enjoy reading. The media center is open before and after school each day for additional visits, as needed, and parents are encouraged to come with their child at those times to check out materials. There is also a Parents’ Corner in the Media Center with current parenting information/literature available for check-out.

READING RESOURCE

Students requiring additional help in reading are served by a full-time reading resource teacher. At the beginning of the school year and as new students enroll, teachers recommend students for screening for this program. Children so identified receive reading instruction in their classroom and also from the reading resource teacher.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIST

The school is served by a full-time educational technologist who provides technical assistance to students and staff. Throughout the school year, scheduled student and staff development on computers is offered. The technologist maintains a 24-station computer lab and the student computers in the classrooms. The technologist is also responsible for the Murray home web page and oversees teacher web pages. See www.am.dodea.edu/bragg/murray.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL)

Parents of all children enrolled at Fort Bragg Schools are required to complete a Home Language Survey which becomes part of each student’s permanent record. Children from homes where other languages are spoken are screened by the ESL teacher to determine whether additional resources are needed to assist them.

GIFTED EDUCATION PROGRAM

A certified Gifted Education teacher serves identified students at Murray School. Eligibility is based on academic achievement, aptitude and scholastic performance in the regular classroom. New students are screened for possible placement based upon incoming records and parent/teacher recommendation.

EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN’S SERVICES

Murray School provides exceptional children’s services to identified students with a variety of delivery models (resource, pull-out, self-contained, co-teaching and consultative). We offer speech, occupational services and physical therapy as related services. Children are evaluated by the specialists on site and in the system. New students already identified and transferring from other DODDS/DDESS schools are automatically placed in our EC program. Eligibility for identified students transferring from other schools is promptly determined to facilitate a smooth transfer into their new school setting.
