Athletic Update and Reminder.
Due to the Election Day on Tuesday 11/3, there will not be any contact day practices for Girls or Boys Basketball.
Also as a reminder, if your child has already been registered in either Softball, Baseball, or Cross Country, the only form that needs to be completed prior to participation is the Parent Consent for Participation form and have an Up To Date Sports Physical on file with our nurse. (6th grade physicals can double as sports physicals).
If your child was not registered for any of those sports, then they will need to have all of the following forms signed and turned into the main office or coach prior to participating in our Contact Day practices. They may turn them into their coach the day of practice. Up to date Sports Physical on file with our nurse, Signed IESA concussion protocol form, Proof of Medical Insurance form, Signed Consent and Release Waiver.

Red Ribbon Week is October 26th-30th!
See below for the fun, daily events and activities!
Many thanks to our “Community Helpers” for coming out for our Drive-By Parade for our Preschoolers! Our families also got to make a stop at our Pumpkin Patch! We loved seeing our youngest learners!
I am so proud of our school community and all the work that has been done to provide each individual student and family the best educational opportunities and experiences as we continue to work through our current world situation. As we begin the next chapter of this journey, I want to point out a few adjustments and changes to our systems to help us make it through the next 9 Week period.
Students who elected to come back for the 2nd Nine Weeks may start attending on October 26th. We will send more information with specifics to these families early next week to help with their transition.
Families may choose to go fully remote at any time. Students will not be allowed to come back to hybrid learning until the start of the 3rd Nine Weeks (January 19, 2021).
Remote Students will need to check in by 9 am. This will help with attendance reporting we are required to do by the state board of education.
On the following dates, there will be no student attendance and ALL kids will be home to do remote learning:
November 4, 2020
November 18, 2020
December 2, 2020
December 9, 2020
Remote Learning assignments will be posted for all students by 9 am. Teachers will not have office hours on these days, but are available via email.
Thank you again for all the support and cooperation. We will continue to work hard and do our best to provide the quality education you have come to expect from Morris 54.
Congratulations to the Morris Runnin Braves XC team as we hosted this years IESA Sectional meet. The Boys took home a respectable 4th place finish while the Girls took home the IESA 3A Sectional Championship!! Great Season all around! Go Braves!!
