Morley Nelson Community School

Our parking lot, drop off and pick up lane, and bus lane are hazardous at times and I would like to remind everyone of a few procedural protocols in place to ensure safety.

1. If you are dropping off or picking up your child, please do so in the inside lane next to the building. The secondary lane is for the flow of traffic.

2.Do not drop off or pick up your children in the bus lane on the other side of the parking lot. This is for buses and daycare vans only.

3. Park only in marked parking spaces. Please do not create your own.

4. Avoid the handicap parking spaces unless you have appropriate permits.

5. Parents, please drop your children off at the front of the building, and allow them to go to the playground independently. Staff is out to supervise and parents who have not checked in at the office and received a visitor's badge should not be on campus. If you have a concern about a student situation, please talk with school staff instead of addressing children who are not your own. School staff will be happy to assist in these situations.

Finally, please know that before and after school are not times we are able to rush. These times will require extra patience and grace given to everyone. We appreciate your efforts to keep our campus safe for all.

Open House for 6th Graders and Their Families at the DTEC - February 12 - Dennis Technical Center (DTEC) Open House

Morley Nelson PTO is putting on a Stay-At-Home Valentine’s Day Tea Party Fundraiser. Sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of tea on behalf of PTO. Boxes of tea were generously donated by Bigelow Tea to raise money for STEM opportunities and other events at Morley Nelson. Any amount is greatly appreciated but with a $5 donation per student, we could cover activities for the entire school. Return your donation by Monday, February 17th to your child’s classroom. The two classrooms that bring in the most money, one from K-3rd and one from 4th – 6th will get an ice cream social.
