Dear District 54 Families,
It’s Spelling Bee time! Spelling Bee season is right around the corner! If you are interested in participating in this extracurricular activity, please send Mrs. Pogliano an email at bpogliano@morris54.org for more information! It is sure to “bee” a lot of fun! :) Go Braves!!
Dear District 54 Parents
Just a few reminders if your child would like to go out for Girls Volleyball or our Boys Basketball developmental league:
1. Even if you had completed paperwork before for contact practices, everyone still needs to be registered on our athletic website https://il.8to18.com/ShabbonaMS/
2. Everyone needs to have an up to date sports physical on file with our school nurse. 6th grade school physicals double as a sports physical but 7/8 graders will need the sports physical if they do not have one.
Go Braves!!
Please follow this link for a community update of COVID-19 case reporting in our District.
Have a great weekend!

Dear District 54 Students and Parents
Due to the continued Tier 3 Mitigation standards still in place from the IDPH, all Morris Grade School District 54 Athletics are still paused. Therefore, no winter sports (including boys basketball and girls volleyball) will begin until further notice. Once the State of Illinois and the IESA have released further information and grant permission for these athletics to take place, Morris Grade School will inform students and parents. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
