The next school board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022. 5:30 PM in the school media center.
Update on Free Meal Program
We would like to share information with you regarding meal costs for the 2022-23 school year. Unfortunately, the government-funded free meal program for all students that was established during the COVID-19 pandemic will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2021-22 school year. This means that there will now be a cost associated with school meals for all families who do not meet the Free and Reduced Meal requirements when school begins in August.
We understand this change may cause concern; however, there are important steps you can take today to make sure your student(s) receives the meals they need next year.
Complete an application for Free & Reduced Meals. If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them next year, but you must take action to make it happen. Even if you completed the 2021-2022 application, you would still need to complete the 2022-2023 application as well. If you need assistance completing this form, please contact the school office at 319-868-7701.
Families that do not qualify for free or reduced meals can begin depositing money into their student’s meal account by logging into Payschools to prepare for the cost of school lunches next year. Information on meal prices for the 2022-2023 school year can be found at https://mscsd.org/
Thank you for your attention to this upcoming change. We remain dedicated to ensuring that all students have access to school meals, and we will provide the necessary assistance to make that possible.

Parents Update, 9-27-21

Parents and Guardians:
I want to thank you for your participation in your child’s education by attending conferences last week. We had a very high turnout which indicates to us that you highly value the education of your child. This is very encouraging to our staff and we enjoy our time sharing with you about the progress you child is making. We offered three different choices for conferences; in person, phone and zoom. We wanted to make sure that all comfort level options were offered. The vast majority of you felt comfortable coming into the school and visiting face to face.
Our staff would like to thank the PTO for providing dinner on both nights of conferences. This kind gesture is very much appreciated. If anyone is interested in joining or helping out the Morning Sun PTO, please contact Carrie Giese or Sara Gieselman for further information. What this group does for the school and students is wonderful.
Please be mindful that the school is doing all we can to use our resources in a responsible way. Much of the communication that takes place with you and the community is now being done electronically and by social media. The different types of media that are being used include; Remind, School Webpage and the School Facebook page. Please be sure you are using all these methods/apps so that you stay aware of the events happening at school. This is just one way we are able to save our resources and use our funds wisely.
With the temperatures jumping around from summer temps to fall temps and back again, please make sure that your child has a sweatshirt or jacket at school or in their bag. If a recess or classroom is running cool, your child should have something with them that they can put on to warm up.
Just a reminder that all school meals, breakfast and lunch, are free for the 21-22 school year. Lunch menus are posted on the school website.
REMINDER: The end of the first quarter is October 25. This marks that we are ¼ of the way through the school year. How can this be? It has gone so fast! If you ever have questions PLEASE be in contact with your child’s teacher. The classroom teacher is always the first one you should contact.
Morning Sun is a WONDERFUL school and community. It takes all of us working together to keep it that way. Your support is very much appreciated.
Make it a Great Day!
Mr. Steve
