Special thanks to all the families who attended the recent Parent Education Literacy Nights.  Thank you for joining in this event!  We know that engaging families is vital to ensuring students experience success at school.  This work is a priority for Morrisville and we seek to create strong family-school partnerships with you.  Families play a critical role in shaping their child’s education and our school cannot achieve the growth goals we have for all students without a deep partnership with you.  – Principal Batten
