Morris Elementary School Week of December 4th

Good evening Parents and Guardians,

It was so nice to see families last week at parent conferences and at the book fair. Your involvement in your child's education is invaluable, and we appreciate the time and commitment you've shown towards their success.


As we continuously, strive to enhance our school environment, we kindly request your feedback through our school climate survey. Your input provides valuable insights that shape our efforts in creating a positive, supportive atmosphere for all students, teachers, and families. Your thoughts and opinions matter tremendously.


Please take a few moments to fill out the linked survey below. Your contribution will play a significant role in shaping the future of our school community.


Morris Climate Survey for Families.


Thank you once again for your ongoing support and engagement.

A Message from Mrs. Zaretsky and Ms. Persing

Hello Families!


We are so excited to announce the opening of The Morris School Store. Students will be voting on our store name next week!

Thanks to our Morris Community’s generosity, the store is filled with various clothing items in different sizes and is available to all students who might want or need something for themselves or someone in their family. We are still gladly accepting donations of clothing items and would greatly appreciate additional donations such as bulk snacks and toiletry items.


The store will be open every school day morning from 8:30-9:30 am. Kids will have the opportunity to “shop” and bring home their items. If they bring something home that you determine they might not want or need, please feel free to return it to school. If you would like to come and browse yourselves, we can schedule a time at your convenience. Also, if there is something specific you might need in your family, please feel free to reach out to us privately and we will do our best to make it happen!


Happy Shopping!


Warmly,


Beth and Cherilyn
