From the Desk of Rick Lahn A Message from the Superintendent

As we enter the holiday season we have many reasons to be proud. The Morris Area Schools continue to be an exemplary place for students to receive their education. Our academic, athletic and fine arts programs remain among the best in the State of Minnesota. We remain proud of the fact that we are never satisfied with the status quo and continue to look for ways to improve our school system.

On November 7th, our voters overwhelmingly approved the sale of $19.2 million in general obligation bonds for important renovations to our school district facilities. We are truly fortunate to live in a community that strongly supports public education and we thank all the voters who showed up that day to support our schools.

95% of the costs of renovations will be used to renovate and repair facility systems in our high school building. Areas impacted will include plumbing, sewage, electrical and mechanical upgrades. Also included will be renovations of classrooms, science labs, locker rooms and the auditorium. Over 75% of the current high school space will be impacted by this project.

We are currently in the design phase of the project. Over the coming months, architects and engineers will plan the most efficient and effective approach for renovating our building. A detailed plan will be developed and bidding will take place later this spring. We anticipate that construction will begin approximately June 1st. To minimize disruption to our students and staff, the majority of the construction will happen over the next two summers. In the end, we will have a remodeled building with classrooms and facility upgrades that will serve the public for decades to come.

In closing I would like to thank our entire community for supporting our schools. It is through your community support that Morris Area Schools remain the “Finest School District in West Central Minnesota.”

Go Tigers!

Superintendent, Rick Lahn The Morris Area Public School Foundation is a group of parents, alumni and community members working together with West Central Initiative to enhance and sustain the quality of education for citizens of all ages participating in programs of the Morris Area Public School District 2769. With your help and support, we will not only maintain but enhance the educational opportunities for Morris Area students. For more information and donations, go to www.morris.k12.mn.us -> District -> Foundation.

Morris Area School District—Weather Related Closing Information

Each year, we begin to gear up for inclement weather much earlier than we might like to; however, it will snow this winter, and we would like to take a moment to share the process used when making decisions to adjust the school schedule due to inclement weather. We realize decisions made impact families throughout the district, and we do not take them lightly. The major concern in making decisions regarding inclement weather is the safety of our students, staff, and others in the community - beyond that, the process becomes more complicated. The fundamental decision is whether students and staff will be safer with school in session or with school closed for the day. The superintendent makes the decision to take one of the following actions: open school on schedule, delay the opening of schools, dismiss school early, or cancel school for the day.

If the decision is made to delay, dismiss, or cancel school, the information is immediately publicized to staff, parents, and students. We utilize the automated calling system, Instant Alert, to notify parents and staff of any schedule changes caused be inclement weather.

When determining if the normal school schedule should be changed due to inclement weather, several factors are considered:  Knowing the road conditions throughout our entire district is important, including several rural areas where blowing snow can severely limit visibility for drivers. We have a large district and weather conditions can vary greatly – for example, it might be cloudy but not snowing in the northern part of the district, but the visibility may be near zero in the far southwestern part of the district.  School buses can drive through a certain amount of snow, but they cannot make it to school if intersections are clogged with stuck vehicles. They also do not function well on icy roads. If roads are snow packed, drifted, and/or icy, sending buses out is not desirable.  Wind chill is a very important factor, especially if there is the possibility of buses running late and students having to wait a longer time at their bus pickup point.  The weather forecast for the remainder of the day is reviewed multiple times, as well as the reports as to when key roads may be plowed/cleared. There are times when roads may not be cleared until the wind has stopped blowing.  Finally, the actions of other districts in the area and observations of conditions in their districts are considered.  We monitor road and weather conditions in the county - staff often contacts the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the police, superintendents of nearby school districts, and weather services to obtain additional information.

In the event that school needs to be canceled or started late, all available information is collected as early as possible (traditionally by approximately 5:30 am), so that a decision may be made. In most cases, radio and television stations are notified of the decision as early as possible—typically around 6:00 a.m.

To prepare for a possible early dismissal, parents are encouraged to have and discuss a plan with their child in case of early dismissal due to weather conditions or an emergency. Your plan may be to have your child go home and call you at work or go to a friend's house and call or it may be to have your child go to a neighbor’s house and call you at work. Whatever your plan is, please discuss it with your child. Having a spare key hidden at home and available to your child may be a part of your plan. In periods of very severe weather, some parents may consider roads and sidewalks in their area unsafe for travel by students. In those instances, parents have the option of not sending their child to school. The student will be expected to make up all assignments, they will not be penalized academically, and they will be given an excused absence.

Information may be obtained concerning school closing, delayed opening, or early closing, by calling 589-4840. No announcements will be made when schools are operating on a normal schedule. Please do not call your child’s school, the bus garage, or the central offices during weather emergencies - when school schedules are altered, the school telephone system is needed to attend to operational items and emergency matters. For more information about school closings, contact your school principal or check the district Web Site www.morris.k12.mn.us. During periods of inclement weather, please listen to a radio or television station listed in the table for announcements of changes in school schedules.

Use of Morris Area School Facilities We encourage groups and organizations to utilize school district facilities. Usage of rooms, gyms, auditoriums, etc. in the school buildings are reserved through the Community Education office. A completed building use form is required.

Nominal rental feels are charged depending on your group.

Service fees such as custodial and food services may also be charged depending on your specific permit requests.

Morris Area Elementary A Message from the Elementary Principal

Our theme for the elementary school is “Together Everyone Achieves More at MAES!” This means we are a dedicated learning community which works as a team with families to help all students achieve and reach their full potential. We are extremely thankful to be working with committed students and families, along with a very supportive community! When we work together as a TEAM our students benefit!

The Morris Lions Club has generously offered to adopt the second graders for the book fair for the third year. They will be purchasing a book or books for each second grader at MAES! I know right… what an awesome show of support to our students! As a result, the second graders will receive books and the school will earn the benefit of those purchases which has a positive impact on our school. Thank you to the Morris Lions Club. We appreciate you!

Cold weather dress: Students go outside before school and for noon play when the temperature or wind chill is minus five degrees below or warmer. Please encourage your child to dress warmly (hats, mittens, coats, boots, snowpants) to be sure he/she is comfortable on those cold days!

Morris Area Schools utilizes the JMC Message Center (phone, email, text) where we can let parents know quickly and conveniently any important information, i.e. school closings, emergency notifications, etc. It is the responsibility of each family to keep phone numbers, email, and mailing addresses current. Please contact the school office with any changes or updates to your information. We don’t want you to miss any important information.

Morris Area High School A Message from the High School Principal At the high school, we continue to work extremely hard to provide the best education possible. Our school year has gotten off to a great start and we are rolling into the second half of the school year. In our third year of working towards every student having a Chromebook computer to use at school and at home, we continue to grow with technology. I have seen some great lessons that teachers have developed with the use of technology, and I believe it has had a positive impact on student achievement and engagement. At the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year, every student in grades 5th-12th will have a Chromebook

As the second half of the school year approaches, we have begun to plan for second semester and as well as planning for the 2018-2019 school year.

Second semester schedule changes for students will begin in December and continue to the start of second semester on January 23rd. In February, students will be selecting courses for next year. Students currently in grades 8 through 11 will bring home a Registration Guide and forms to complete. From the student choices, a master schedule will be developed and a class schedule for each student will be created for the 2018-2019 school year. As students plan ahead, they need to be thinking whether they are interested in taking College In School classes and what they plan to do after high school. Having plans and goals set will help get your child in the right courses for future success. Also as students look ahead I encourage them to get involved in athletics, activities, or clubs that are offered at Morris Area. Research shows that students involved in activities tend to do better academically.

With the second half of the school year also comes winter and spring testing. In the fall, winter, and spring we give the NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) test in reading and mathematics for grade 7th and 8th. These are local test we use to look for growth in our students and to help guide instruction.

State MCA (Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment) tests are required in reading, mathematics, and science. The testing schedule for this winter and spring is provided below for you to view. As the testing dates approach, please visit with your child on the importance of doing their best so we have an accurate picture of their abilities. Juniors will be able to take the ACT test again this year as we are required to offer it.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to call me at 320-585-2200 or email me at bkehoe@morris.k12.mn.us.

Sincerely, Principal Bill Kehoe

Early Childhood Screening Parents of 3 to 4 year old children

Has Your Child Been Screened? Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how children are developing between the ages of 3 to 4 years. It identifies, at an early stage, possible learning or health concerns so that children can get the help they need before starting school. Early Childhood Screening is not an IQ test or a Kindergarten entrance exam. Morris Area PreKindergarten classes require that screening be done within 90 days of program entry and it is required by state law for children before they can begin in Kindergarten. Early Childhood Screening only needs to be completed once. Screening is a free review of your child’s vision, hearing, height, weight, overall development, and immunization records. For the Morris Area Schools, children are screened at Horizon Public Health by a nurse. Watch for an information packet in the mail shortly after your child turns three-and-a-half years of age. If you do not receive a packet, call the Public Health office at 320-208-6672 to set up the day and time for your child’s screening. For more information contact Diane Strobel at 320-585-2237 or dstrobel@morris.k12.mn.us or Horizon Public Health at 320-208-6672.

Register for the School Census

You matter to us! The school census is a list of students from birth to school age. It is used to inform parents about opportunities that their child needs to be ready to enter school when they turn five years of age. Notifications for events and programs such as early childhood screening, prekindergarten opportunities, special events, family nights, kindergarten registration, etc. will be mailed to families based on the census data. If you have just had a new baby, recently moved into the school district, have recently changed your address, or want to make sure your children are on the birth to 5 census, please contact Diane Strobel by calling 320-585-2237 or e-mail her at dstrobel@morris.k12.mn.us.
