Photo day(s) this weekSchedules will be posted on Instagram and Twitter when they are finalized by our photographer on Monday. Terry Fox Run - Friday, October 9This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. We are planning to host the event on Friday, October 9. The K-1-2 cohort will run around the school field from 1:00-2:00 pm. The Grade 3-4 cohort will have their run time from 2:10-3:10. We are challenging each student to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the run by raising $40 each. (or 8 pledges of $5). Online fundraising is the safest and best way!. Students can get on board too by setting up their own fundraising page under your school name. It’s easy, safe and donors are issued receipts immediately! School Fundraising Link: http://www.terryfox.ca/Morris Username: 2020MB2151 Password: CUREMB5235 Our K-4 students have been introduced to Terry Fox and his story in their classes at the end of last week. We look forward to seeing everyone doing their best at the run on Friday as well as in their fundraising efforts leading up to the event. Every nickel counts!! Safe Arrival software - please registerAt Morris School, one of our greatest priorities is ensuring that all our students arrive safely at school each and every day. To enhance our existing absence-checking procedure, we are introducing a new, more efficient student absence reporting system called SafeArrival. This new system will reduce the time it takes to verify student attendance, make it easy for you to report your child’s absence and easy for staff to respond to unexplained student absences. With SafeArrival, you are asked to report your child’s absence in advance using any of these 3 convenient methods:
These options are available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week. Future absences can be reported at any time. In addition, we will use the SchoolMessenger Communicate automated notification system to contact parents whose child is absent when the absence was not reported in advance. The automated notification system will attempt to contact parents at multiple contact points until a reason is submitted for the absence. If our system is unable to reach the designated contacts, office staff will follow up. If you report your child’s absence in advance using the SafeArrival toll-free number, website or mobile app, you will NOT receive these notifications. Please report absences in advance using SafeArrival instead of sending notes or calling/emailing the school. Staff will being using the SafeArrival notifications to let you know if your student is absent (when you haven’t reported the absence in advance). If you have children attending other schools, please continue to report absences using the existing procedures for those schools. Thank you for your cooperation.
