We know how much our Alumni cares for this special building that has housed generations of students for many years. We won't be organizing anything this week as it is crazy busy around here with moving but there may be potential for walk-thrus in the coming weeks. We will also be having a yard sale eventually. We will keep you posted!

Welcome to the last day of in-person instruction at 826 High Street! Students were encouraged this morning to take a moment to appreciate being the last students to receive instruction at Morse High School's old home. Reminder to students in cohort B: there will be no in-person instruction tomorrow as the Morse staff completes the packing of the old school. Your teachers will communicate at-home expectations for tomorrow through Brightspace. Likewise, there will be no in-person instruction on the first three days following February break (2/22 - 2/24) while the Morse staff prepares the building to hold school. Teachers will post your at-home expectations for learning on those days to Brightspace. Students who would like to have a tour of the new school before their first day are welcome to sign up for one at bit.ly/morsetours. If you would like to just see a map of the new school to see where your classes are located (https://bit.ly/3cZ8ULr). I can't wait to welcome students to our new home at 826 Shipbuilder Drive on February 25 & 26. Have a great February vacation, Mr. Varney.

Hey Morse Students! This is your final chance to guarantee a yearbook order! After February 26th, yearbooks will only be available until sold out and the price will increase from $45 to $50.
