Morton Ranch Elementary
We're ready to LAUNCH into a new school year!
A MESSAGE FROM OUR NEW PRINCIPAL, LORI MAURER
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I'd like to let you know how excited I am to be the leader of this great campus! This is my 15th year in education and I still LOVE it! One of my foremost priorities as Principal is to ensure a safe and inclusive school environment for our entire community. Safety encompasses not only physical security but also emotional well-being. It is my pledge to foster an atmosphere where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. I invite each and every one of you to share your insights, ideas, and aspirations for Morton Ranch Elementary. I firmly believe that collaboration and teamwork are the cornerstones of success, and together, we can achieve remarkable things. Our staff cannot wait to see all of your children this school year. We have an amazing group of about 150 staff members who are eager, energetic, and ready for an amazing year on the Ranch!!
We can't wait to see you!
Lori Maurer
Principal

TRANSPORTATION MAP FOR MORTON RANCH ELEMENTARY
Please be patient with us the first few days so our Mavs can arrive and dismiss in a safe and quick manner. We aim to expedite the dismissal systems as quickly as possible, but during the first week of school, as children, staff, and parents are learning new things, dismissal does take a big longer.
Drivers may not be on their cell phone during arrival/dismissal. Safety is our # 1 priority!
