About Us

Our goal at Morrill Middle School is to foster a safe, clean, positive and respectful learning environment for all students and staff; provide a school learning environment where students can develop into positive and productive citizens well prepared for their future.
 
The mission of Morrill Middle School is to prepare each student to be successful in high school and in life. This is accomplished by providing our students with a safe and positive environment that supports their learning. Through high expectations for behavior and academics, we will guide students as they acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that foster an enjoyment of learning, a respect for themselves and others, and the ability to become responsible citizens. Morrill Middle School is a great place for children to grow and develop as they move from sixth to eighth grade. The staff at Morrill is caring, and continually challenges the students to be at their best each and every day. We are continuously improving to meet the needs of our learners as well as the needs of society.
 
Important to our school's success is an effective partnership between parents, the community, and the school. Our school has worked with the community to create a Parent-Teacher-Student Association to increase avenues for community engagement in our school and in providing for our students. Our students are very important to us, and all of the Morrill Middle School community will do whatever we can to help our students to be successful this year, and throughout their lives.
 
Berryessa Union School District provides all students the skills to become lifelong learners and successful 21st century global citizens.

Dear Morrill Middle School Families, 

Welcome back! I hope this letter finds you enjoying a wonderful summer filled with relaxation, adventure, and cherished moments with family and friends. As we prepare to embark on a new school year, I wanted to take a moment to extend a warm welcome to both our returning families and those who are new to our school community.

The start of a new school year always brings a sense of excitement and anticipation. It is a time for fresh beginnings, new opportunities, and the chance to build upon the successes of the previous year. Our dedicated faculty and staff have been hard at work over the summer to ensure that everything is in place for a productive and enriching academic year.

At Morrill, we are committed to providing your child with a safe, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment where they can thrive both academically and personally. We believe that it’s important to create conditions where your student can thrive in all areas that are important to you and your family.  

Throughout the year–with Morrill–you can expect communication, engagement, and a strong sense of community. We value the partnership between home and school and encourage your active involvement. Whether you are able to volunteer your time, attend school events, or simply stay informed about your child’s progress, your support makes a difference.

I encourage you to explore our website (https://morrill.berryessa.k12.ca.us) and familiarize yourself with important dates, upcoming events, and ways to stay connected with our school. Additionally, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share. 

As we embark on this journey together, I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to partnering with each of you in support of our students’ growth and achievements. Thank you for entrusting us with your student’s education. Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with learning, discovery, and memorable experiences!

Warm regards,

Jamal Splane, PhD
