Weekly Newsletter

Hello Families and Guardians,
We've had another productive week at Morris! In the coming days, you will receive your child's fall benchmark report. These reports provide valuable insight into which students may need additional support. If your child did not meet the benchmark, please don't worry. Our classroom instruction is designed to support all learners, and some students also receive additional intervention from our Title One staff. Students who fall below the benchmark will be regularly monitored to track their progress. These reports are a collaborative tool for teachers, students, and parents to ensure each child is on track to meet their learning goals this year.
At the top of this newsletter is the link to volunteer for the Apple Squeeze. The Apple Squeeze is the most successful fundraiser, however, it does require a lot of help from the Morris Community. There are still spots available to volunteer at the Apples Squeeze, donate a bake good or a themed basket for a raffle. This fundraisers supports many fun activities at Morris such as Books Before Bed, assemblies, supports the Friendsgiving Feast and many other activities that connect our community together.
Parent conference are the morning of October 28th from 8:45 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. the evening of October 29th from 4:30 to 7:00 day and on November 1st from 12:45 to 3:15. Please be on the lookout for an email the week of October 1st this will be the electronic sign up for parent conferences. Parent conferences provide a valuable opportunity for parents and teachers to collaborate on a child's academic and social development. These meetings help ensure that parents stay informed about their child's progress and allow for open communication to address any concerns or areas of support needed for success.
