04/1/2020 To: MCUD #6 Parents/Guardians Re: Extension of Mandated Closure Dear Parents and Community Members: I hope this message finds you and your families safe and well. Yesterday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced that remote learning in Illinois will be extended through April 30 in order to slow down the spread of COVID-19. During this time, on-site learning will remain suspended but our schools’ commitment to learning and education will remain open and learning will continue for all students - just through a different format. While it is not ideal, we want to assure you that at the Morrison School District, our teachers and staff are fully engaged and willing to take on this new challenge and push forward with remote learning, engaging with students and continuing with our food distribution program. I know this is not the school year that any of us imagined, but I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we have dealt with this unprecedented situation together. It’s important we continue to work together and support our students. Thanks again. Stay Healthy Scott Vance Superintendent

Good Morning, As we are preparing to enter in an uncharted phase of our educational experience. Please know that our teachers and administrators are working tirelessly to get everything ready to continue to educate our students. Before our E-Learning formally begins tomorrow there are several items that I want to make you aware of, additional information, including links to daily/weekly assignments, can be found on the E-Learning segment of the District website. Parents will NO longer need to take attendance daily. Fridays in April will be classified as "Remote Learning Planning Days". These days will allow our teachers the opportunity to plan, prepare videos/instructional packets, and many other things for the upcoming week. On these days teachers may not be available to respond to student questions. If students have questions on those days they may submit them and the teacher will get to them as soon as they can. Lunch will be provided for students who sign up using the google form throughout the mandated closure. For the safety of students and staff we are limiting access to the buildings so if you need anything from your students locker etc...they should get them today. If you cannot make it in today please contact your students principal to make alternate arrangements. As we have stated before this situation is one that none of us has ever encountered. Everyone in our district is working to make this transition as smooth as possible. I cannot say enough how proud I am of our staff and the effort they have put in. We will continue to do whatever we can to meet the needs of all our students. If during the course of this closure you have any questions please feel free to contact me or your student(s) principal(s). Thank you again for your continued patience. Working together we will get through this! Stay Healthy! Scott Vance Superintendent
