Morrow Middle

PRINCIPAL'S CORNER

Bobcat Family,

As the Principal of Morrow Middle School, I would like to invite our parents, students and community to join us as we strive to "Increase Student Performance through Increased Parental Engagement". This semester we plan to continue to contribute to our school’s track record of success and academic achievement. Morrow Middle School is 3D: Diverse, Determined & Distinguished and has a distinct honor of being a Dual Language Magnet School.  The students, faculty and staff are committed to excellence and we will need your unwavering support to continue this grand tradition. It is vital that we demonstrate love, optimism, trust, and loyalty to our school.

As we embark on a new semester, we are truly excited about accomplishing individual, class, and school goals set for the year. Thanks to you, we have begun the school year well and are steadily working to teach and challenge our students to take them to the next level. The faculty and staff of Morrow Middle School are committed to providing a high quality education addressing the individual needs of each child in an orderly, respectful atmosphere, enhanced by community support. Parents, it is vital that you register on Infinite Campus where you can monitor your child’s grades.  With a collaborative effort, our students will have no other option other than to succeed with the support, patience, and execution of us all!

As discussed in Open House, our parents are ALWAYS welcome. Nevertheless, we ask that parent conferences are scheduled 24-48 hours in advance.  This will allow teachers to maximize all instructional time to prepare students for academic achievement and success. We recognize that this is a difference in previous practices, but we can work together to “transition” smoothly. Therefore, we are continuing to ask our parents to contact the main office, schedule appointments and conferences, and email to ask questions or share pertinent information so that “instructional time” is not compromised.

Additionally, I would like to thank all the dedicated members of the PTSA and School Council who ensure that our students have what it takes to accomplish great things. I want to encourage all parents/guardians to join our PTSA before the end of the semester.  Thank you so much for being great supportive parents who know and appreciate the value of a fine “Bobcat education”. Continue to encourage our students to reach their full academic and social potential as they prepare to become the future leaders of America. Parents, you have our support, we need your support, and together we will support our fine school in achieving high academic excellence as we continue to grow and strive for success this school year!

Educationally yours,

Lawvigneaud Harrell, Ed. S.,
