RE: Spring Break Notice
TO: Students and Families of Morton School District
Beginning on April 6th, next Monday, through Friday, April 10th, the district will not be offering its childcare or food service programs due to its scheduled spring break. The district does not have enough staff to carry out these programs during our pre-planned spring break. Both services will resume beginning April 13th at their regularly scheduled times.
For any student, Preschool thru 12th, who doesn't have access to the internet or a computer to link to online resources, please call the Morton Grade School at 360-496-5143 and request a weekly packet for your student. The grade school office will be open Monday thru Friday from 7:30 to 3:00 to take requests.
Tonight the Governor announced a Stay Home Order that is effective in 48 hours. Our childcare and food service will continue until we receive further guidance from the State.
To help ensure that you continue learning, we will provide a list of online resources on the Morton School District webpage which will be updated throughout the week. http://www.morton.k12.wa.us/closure-educational-resources
We strongly encourage you to utilize this information. Develop a routine: schedule a time each day for reading, mathematics, writing, and exercise.
Stay healthy, stay safe, maintain social distancing and wash your hands often.
Our food service staff is working hard to get meals out to our kiddos! It's not too late to begin receiving meals. There are delivery and pick up options available-fill out the survey at this link to get your meal service started. http://shorturl.at/inQW1
FREE to any 18 and under community members!
