You are truly appreciated, Ms. Benefield!
ACAP testing begins tomorrow, starting with 4th Grade Science!
Please ensure your student gets a good night’s rest and arrives at school on time each day. Let’s avoid tardies so our scholars can begin testing stress-free and ready to do their best.
Thank you for your continued support!
Parents, this is an important time for our students, and we need your support to help them do their very best. Please encourage your child to stay focused, confident, and motivated throughout each day of testing.
You can help set them up for success by ensuring they:
Get a good night’s rest
Eat a healthy breakfast
Arrive on time each morning ready for encouragement from their Data Cheerleader and classroom teacher.
Our students have been working hard all year, and now it’s time for them to show what they know. Together, let’s continue to support them as they soar high and make their mark on this year’s test!
Thank you for partnering with us to help our students succeed.
There will be no school for students on Friday, March 13th, and Monday, March 16th. One of these days will be a virtual learning day. The other will be a teacher work day.
Students will return to school on Tuesday, March 17, which marks the start of the 4th quarter.
Thank you!
Students are required across the entire district to have a clear bookbag every day. I have already stopped at least 20 students to enforce this rule. If your student needs a new clear bookbag, they are available for purchase in the office for $10. Also, the shoe policy has not changed. Students must wear ALL black shoes. We have seen students wearing white, yellow, and other colors, which are not permitted. Morningside's uniform policy remains the same.
Let’s continue setting the example for our students so they can grow into responsible, rule-following adults.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Read Across America Week is coming soon — March 2–6, 2026!

We are also asking for volunteers to come in and read to our Soaring Eagles. If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know. We look forward to a fun and engaging week of reading!
We will host our Wax Museum on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. Please view the attached flyer for designated class times and the parent/family viewing time.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Hip Hip Hooray!!! Sorry for the delay, but Mrs. Campbell (Pre-K-2nd), Ms. Z. Byrd (3rd-5th), Mrs. N. Rollo (LEA-Special Education), and Coach Priince (PE Coach-Paraprofessional) have been caught in the month of December constructing our future leaders! These teachers are always effective in their Soaring Eagle Time, set high expectations for every student, and exhibits the true characteristics of a "Soaring Eagle". Keep up the awesome work!!

Today, electret microphones are used in many things we use every day, like smartphones, laptops, music equipment, and hearing aids. In fact, the National Inventors Hall of Fame says that about 9 out of 10 microphones today are electret microphones!
Because of this amazing invention, James West was honored and added to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1999. 🎉
