Hello Families and Guardians,
I hope all the students had a wonderful first few days of school. The smiles on their faces was heart warming as they interacted with their teachers and friends. All families should have received their first day packet in that packet are important forms that need to be completed and returned to school.
- Most important Student Contact Form- the school needs your emergency contact information in case of an emergency.
- Free and Reduced School Lunch Application - this form determines state funding for Title 1. I encourage all families to fill out this form.
- Emergency Health & Information Form
- Handbook Signature Release Form
- Medication Authorization Form
- Photo/opt-out form
Please make sure these forms are returned to Morris by Friday, September 6th.
As we settle into the new school year, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support and patience, especially during arrival and dismissal. Your partnership is invaluable as we work together to create the best possible learning environment for our students. Please know that my door is always open—if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at next week’s PTO meeting and Open House. It’s a great opportunity for us to connect and continue building our wonderful school community.
Thank you for being such an important part of our Morris Elementary family!
IMPORTANT CAR LINE TRAFFIC PATTERN
Per the Lenox Police Department cars should not be idling on West Street. If you are a car line family, you are not allowed to sit idle coming up West Street. Car line traffic is to come down West Street from the center of town to allow a continuous traffic pattern.
