Welcome to the Winfield L. Morse Elementary School!

 It is a great pleasure to welcome you to our school community and to the 2010-2011 school year!  At Morse, we are committed to the development of an enriched learning environment where all children have access to a high quality program that addresses the learning and social needs of our students.  Our mission is to work alongside families to help children become:

• curious, lifelong learners

• critical thinkers and problem solvers

• competent readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, musicians and artists

• respectful, responsible and empathic human beings

• citizens who value and fee that they are valued by their community

At Morse, we value the importance of feedback and a strong partnership between staff and parents. We highly encourage parental involvement and recognize that as students grow; the nature of parental involvement changes. We are here to work with you to find the level of involvement that works for you, your child and the program. 

Together, we can prepare our children to be confident, articulate, and enthusiastic learners who will successfully meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.

I hope that your child's experience at W.L. Morse School will be exciting, productive, and fun.  I look forward to working with each of you.

Rosemary Prati, Principal
