Hello Morris Families & Guardians,
We look forward to meeting with you at Parent-Teacher Conferences! This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss your child's progress and plan for continued growth. Due to the delayed start tomorrow, breakfast will not be served at Morris Elementary.
The picture to right is Mrs. White’s and Mrs. Davison’s classes teaming up as part of our classroom buddy program, giving younger students the chance to work with their older peers. It's a fantastic opportunity for students to learn from positive role models and build connections across grade levels!

👻 Costume Day - October 31st
On Thursday, October 31st, students are invited to wear costumes to school! To ensure a fun, safe day, please review these Costume Day Guidelines:
School rules regarding dress code must be followed. (See page 23 of the Morris School Handbook).
- No masks, but hats & hoods are allowed as part of costumes (on this day only).
- All costume preparations should be done at home.
- No weapons or fake weapons (like nunchucks, swords, or guns) are permitted.
- Costumes should allow independent restroom use.
- No bloody, gory, or extremely scary costumes to keep our younger students comfortable.
If a costume is deemed inappropriate, a change of clothes will be required. We suggest packing a change of clothes just in case your child wants to change mid-way through the day.
Thank you for helping us create a fun, distraction-free environment!
Special Treat for Students and Teachers!
To celebrate, students will have a special treat time in the gym with a screening of The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Teachers are invited to take a short break during this time as well.
