Principal's Message

 

Welcome to a new school year at Morningside Elementary! It is with great excitement to start my second year as your principal, and I am excited to continue building on the strong relationships and traditions that make our school such a special place. After an incredible first year of getting to know our students, families, and staff, I look forward to another year of learning, growth, and success together.
Morningside has a dedicated group of teachers that create a positive learning environment for all students. A key to a successful student learning experience is the parent-teacher relationship. Please keep informed of school updates, and teacher and school messages on Parent Square or following our Instagram @morningside.pta 
At Morningside Elementary we will continue to build a strong school and family partnership. This partnership will result in positive outcomes for all of our students. We are fortunate to have an amazing and dedicated PTA at Morningside! We hope that your family becomes a member of our PTA and we welcome volunteers in all capacities. 
 I’m excited for this school year,  and I look forward to meeting all of our families and students! Please know our school is always here to support you and please reach out if you need anything. Please stop and say hello!
