It has been a fantastic start to the school year! Our students have been doing an amazing job following our school rules and demonstrating excellence every day. We're so proud of their positive attitude and dedication to learning.

Spirit Wear:

Show your school spirit! Our PTO's Spirit Wear store is still open. Order your Daniel Morgan gear by clicking [here]. The store closes on Friday, September 20th.

PBIS Event:

Our first PBIS event is on September 4th! Students have been earning points for following school rules and have chosen their preferred activity for the event. It will take place during student elective times.

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures:

A quick reminder about our pick-up and drop-off procedures. Please adhere to the designated car rider line and avoid parking in the school lots during arrival and dismissal times. In addition, transportation changes will not be accepted after 2:30 PM. All students leaving early must do so before 2:30 PM. Students may not be picked up early between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM. Your cooperation ensures the safety of all our students.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Our school counselors are a great resource to students and families in need of assistance. Our counselors can assist with any concerns about student well being, respond to any crisis situations, support student transitions, and help connect families with additional community resources. Please reach out to our counselors, Josh Oxley (5th) and Ruth Dalrymple (6th) through the school phone, email, or talking points.
