Eagles -- we hope your summer is starting wonderfully. We are sharing an alert that our playground area at Morningside, and a few other schools in the district, is temporarily closed until later in June as the grass field areas have been reseeded. We've confirmed with our O&M district team that our playground should be open in less than 3 weeks (mid June). Thank you for your understanding as this will allow the grass areas to have a strong start for fall.
Iowa law requires students to have certain immunizations, vision screenings, and dental screenings before starting school in the fall.
⚠️Your student will not be able to attend school in the fall without proof of the required immunizations and screenings⚠️
Please make sure your student is up to date before the first day of school. You can find the complete list of necessary immunizations and screenings on our website: https://www.siouxcityschools.org/page/vision-dental-screening-immunization-requirements

Kindergarten has been learning a lot about life cycles of plants and animals during science. Some of the community partners they have been working with are Kari from the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center, Jody from Adam's Nature Preserve, and Zach in LeMars who provided the eggs that hatched recently. There has been some exciting learning taking place in Kindergarten!
Here at Morningside, our staff wellness committee works to highlight each special day of the month.

Mrs. Krotz and Mr. Clayborne also wanted to share their most sincere, smile-filled thank you for making this a top-notch Morningside week!
