Dear Morrill Middle School Community,

 

Welcome to the new school year! We are honored to serve as your Principal and Assistant Principal. We are excited to work with you to ensure that we have a spectacular school year ahead.  Combined we have almost 40 years in education, and we love what we do! We believe in finding joy, offering gratitude, and providing space for students to be their best.

 

At Morrill, we are striving for a strong and collaborative partnership between parents, teachers, school staff, and the community.  We work together to ensure that each student receives a rigorous and comprehensive education in a safe and caring environment.  This approach can lead to more holistic educational experiences and better outcomes for students. Here are some key aspects of effective partnerships in education: Open Communication, Shared Goals, Active Engagement, Mutual Respect/Inclusion, Support Systems, Feedback Mechanisms, and Community Involvement. 

 

Our school expectations—R.O.A.R (Respectful, Open Minded, Accountable, and Resilient)—form the bedrock of our daily interactions and standards. These principles empower our students to make thoughtful choices, treat others with kindness and consideration, and ensure the well-being of self and others. By consistently reinforcing these norms in every aspect of school life, we foster a positive and nurturing environment where everyone can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

 

On behalf of us and the Morrill Staff we look forward to creating a lasting partnership with you, and providing your child with a wonderful educational experience.

 

Your partners in education,

Mya Duong & Tawiah Burroughs
