December Updates
This is my wish for you: peace of mind, prosperity through the year, happiness that multiplies, health for you and yours, fun around every corner, energy to chase your dreams, joy to fill your holidays!
-D.M. Dellinger
December will be another fun and busy month for our students as we kick-off the season with great winter learning experiences. There are so many different ways we can celebrate the holidays. Locally, we can support our community and help people in need and globally we can recognize traditions and holidays from around the world. We are looking forward to the journeys we will embark on in the upcoming weeks.

MSD Family Letters
The Morris School District believes that a strong partnership and frequent communication between home and school are important elements to ensure that all students ascend. In this section, you will find Writing, Reading, and Math letters that explain the content your child is learning throughout the school year. These letters provide an overview of the content covered in each unit, as well as examples/ideas of how these units can be further supported and enhanced at home.
