🎃👻 A huge thanks to Goodwill for donating Halloween bags for all of our students! 🎒💀 We’re grateful for their generosity in making this Halloween extra special.
Special shoutout to Sarah Gehring for organizing this treat for our students! 🍬🕸️ #morencibulldogs

Last Friday, our students came together for a house assembly to kick off the second marking period with excitement and team spirit! An amazing team of 5th graders led each house in learning a unique handshake. Be sure to ask your child to show you their special handshake! 🤲💥
Each student received a bracelet in their house color, symbolizing unity, respect AND resilience, —qualities they continue to show daily. We're so proud of our Bulldogs as they work together to make a positive impact in our school! 💙🐾

Schools, families, and the community working together can create a sense of belonging, reinforcing the importance of education and school attendance for the success of the next generation. As Attendance Awareness Month wraps up, let’s commit to prioritizing regular attendance throughout the school year. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


We understand that families may have additional challenges that serve as barriers to getting their students to school. Please connect with your building principal or administrator to learn what resources exist to help. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Our third graders had a blast wrapping up the third week of school! Visitors from the Lenawee ISD helped kick off our Outdoor Science and Literacy initiative with a fun "Next Time You See a Spiderweb" lesson. Students hunted for spiderwebs, heard a story from Mrs. Stiver, and made their own webs. They also tried peanut butter and jelly burritos from our "Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match" book study. Not everyone was a fan, but it was fun to try something new!











🎉 Homecoming Week 🎉Let’s keep the energy high!
📅 MS/HS: Veterans Day - Camo Day 🪖
📅 Elementary: Sports/Team Day 🏈
Don’t forget your camo or favorite team gear for tomorrow! #morencibulldogs



Our first graders had a blast playing Rock, Paper, Scissors during math! ✋✂️🪨 We tallied up the results to see which wins the most – rock, paper, scissors, or a tie! So much fun while learning! #morencibulldogs 🐾📊






Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Consider that sometimes a stomach ache or headache is a sign of anxiety. Talk to teachers, school counselors, and other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning.


We had a beautiful day for a walking field trip to Stair District Library! 📚 This special trip helps prepare our students for their upcoming Lansing adventure, teaching them important lessons like walking safely and respectfully around the Capitol grounds, learning the role of a docent, how to respond appropriately, and how to respect museum exhibits and artifacts.
We even had a chance to dive into some Constitution Day lessons!
Be sure to check out the goodies your child brought home from the library to support today's activities. For now, enjoy these pictures from our day! 📸






While attendance is important, we also want to create a safe and healthy learning environment. We understand some absences may be required due to illness. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Our 5th graders had an unforgettable time at camp this week! From climbing the rock wall 🧗♂️ to tie-dyeing shirts 🎨 and even getting hands-on with tarantulas and cockroaches 🕷️🐜, the adventure was non-stop. We had beautiful weather to enjoy the waterslide 💦, and we wrapped up the day with hilarious skits and dance-offs! 🎶 We’re so thankful for our students to have this opportunity to try new experiences and have fun with their friends and classmates. #morencibulldogs











One or two missed days a week might not seem like a lot, but lost time adds up over a student’s educational career. Absences can also affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help students catch up. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance


Last week, we hosted an assembly where students were introduced to the Morenci Elementary School branch of the TLC Credit Union! Through this program, students can set personal savings goals and make regular deposits into their own savings accounts. The Student-Run In-School Credit Union empowers young people to build personal finance and employability skills. Student workers gain valuable experience in general credit union operations and learn work ethics as branch managers, tellers, bookkeepers, and auditors.
Student savers can open a no-fee savings account with an initial deposit of just $0.25. They can set savings goals for the year and even receive prizes for developing strong saving habits, showing how rewarding saving can be!
Keep an eye on your child’s folder today or tomorrow for important paperwork. We encourage families to sign up by September 26th to be ready when our school branch opens in November (though you can join later as well). For more information, visit:

Did you know you can improve your child’s attendance by reducing late arrivals and early checkouts? Every minute counts toward learning. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Establishing a bedtime and morning routine can go a long way toward being on time and in school every day. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Regularly missing school impacts students in numerous ways. Chronic absenteeism not only hurts high school students in the classroom, but creates poor attendance habits that carry over to college and the workforce. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.


Building good attendance habits early is key to staying on track throughout school. By middle school, absenteeism becomes a leading indicator of graduation. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
