Come join the Morgan PTO to be a part of your child's elementary school memories as you help plan fun activities, organize events, and volunteer at Morgan. Nothing is more rewarding than being a volunteer!

Mr. Mirovsky is our Science Olympiad Team Leader and can help answer your questions and sign you up as an event coach!


Report Cards: A copy of your child's report card will be sent to your Power School email on November 17. If you do not receive a copy, please log in to your Power School Parent Portal to review the email you have listed. That is the email account where the report card will be sent.
