    CARPOOL

    All school rules apply in the carpool line. This applies to Junior High and High School Students as well as Elementary.

    Upon arriving at school in the mornings, drive on the left side of the driveway ONLY, forming a SINGLE FILE line of cars.  Also, please keep the far-left walker’s lane clear.

    ​
    NO PARKING OR UNLOADING IS ALLOWED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MAIN DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO 8:00 AM.

    • For afternoon carpool, there will be three lines of traffic in the driveway. Upon arriving at the school, please pull up as closely as possible to the car in front of you in order to allow as many cars as possible in the driveway.
    • When school is dismissed, children may enter only the cars between the two yellow lines. When those cars are loaded, a teacher will raise a flag and the three lanes will move, beginning with the outside lane (closest to Dallas Avenue) and the other cars in lane will move forward.
    • The teacher will again raise a flag when it is safe for the next group to load.
    • Please remember that these guidelines have been developed in order to protect your children. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
    • Before 7:00 a.m. and after 3:30 p.m. there will not be adult supervision on campus. Please do not bring your children before or leave them after the above times. Supervision is offered for 1st-6th  from 7:00 – 7:40 in the library. After school care is available at $10 per day per child.  Any child 1st -6th  not picked up in carpool by 3:20 will be sent to after school care and will be charged $10 a day per child.
    • Students should not be dropped off or picked up in the high school parking lot unless they ride with a high school student who parks there.
    • Parents driving vehicles for class field trips and arriving prior to 8:00 a.m. are to park in the rear of the school on the elementary side.

    We challenge our students to excel academically, but also believe that it is important for students to receive a well-rounded education.  Therefore, there are plenty of opportunities for Morgan students to participate in the arts,  athletics and clubs.
    Occasionally, we accept new students if there is an opening for mid-year enrollment.  Contact the Admissions Office for more information.
    Morgan students perform at average to above-average on test scores. Entrance test exams determine how a new student will perform at Morgan if enrolled.  The Admissions Committee considers test scores and current school grades for enrollment.
    Families who send their children to independent private schools cite that they do so because of:  individual attention, limited class sizes, teacher excellence, high academic standards, a focus on the arts, athletics and academics, and high-quality education.
