​Morse PTO's Back-to-School Checklist




  • Drop off school supplies and sneak a peek on August 16th, 5:00-5:30 A-L and 5:30-6:00 M-Z.
    School supplies ordered through Morse PTO already will be delivered to your child's classroom. Help your child find his or her classroom and then grab your Morse student a Kona Ice to celebrate the beginning of the school year! Masks will be required in the building.       Still need to purchase school supplies? Find the school supply list here. 
     
  • Dig out your child's class field trip shirt. The only students who will receive new field trip shirts in the fall are 1) kindergartners 2) 5th graders and 3) students brand new to Morse. If your child needs a new shirt, look for a sign up in your child's classroom at Sneak-a-Peek. While no field trips will take place first quarter, we are hopeful for field trips later in the year. Cost for a replacement shirt is $5. 

*Indicates payable in ParentVue under Fees tab

  • Sign up for a PTO Family Membership*
    The $30 fee covers PTO operating costs, Staff Appreciation Week activities, and a student directory, which is sent home in early fall.
 
  • Support teachers with a donation to Take Stock in Morse*
    Morse PTO does not ask students to fundraise. Instead, we ask you fulfill staff grant requests. This means 100% of your money goes directly back into the classroom in the form of resources, educational materials, innovative programming and cutting edge technology. See grants approved last year.

  • Accept the 2-Hour Volunteer Challenge
    We challenge parents, grandparents and caregivers to volunteer 2 hours of their time over the course of the school year to make Morse amazing. Visit  our Volunteer page for more information.
 
  • Review the 2020-2021 Nut Safer Food Items List.
    The list is updated each school year, so be sure to keep the latest version accessible. Click here for this year's Nut Safer Food Items List​.

  • Communicate your child’s health needs.
    Be sure to check in with Nurse Janae Bell regarding your child’s special health and medication needs.

  • Add important dates to your calendar.
    Visit the Morse PTO Events and Morse Elementary School for upcoming activities.
    ​
  • Check your student’s lunch account balance*
    You can view the balance in ParentVue under Lunch Information, and you can add funds in ParentVue under Fees.
