Our first graders had a blast playing Rock, Paper, Scissors during math! ✋✂️🪨 We tallied up the results to see which wins the most – rock, paper, scissors, or a tie! So much fun while learning! #morencibulldogs 🐾📊
Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Consider that sometimes a stomach ache or headache is a sign of anxiety. Talk to teachers, school counselors, and other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning.
We had a beautiful day for a walking field trip to Stair District Library! 📚 This special trip helps prepare our students for their upcoming Lansing adventure, teaching them important lessons like walking safely and respectfully around the Capitol grounds, learning the role of a docent, how to respond appropriately, and how to respect museum exhibits and artifacts.
We even had a chance to dive into some Constitution Day lessons!
Be sure to check out the goodies your child brought home from the library to support today's activities. For now, enjoy these pictures from our day! 📸
While attendance is important, we also want to create a safe and healthy learning environment. We understand some absences may be required due to illness. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Our 5th graders had an unforgettable time at camp this week! From climbing the rock wall 🧗♂️ to tie-dyeing shirts 🎨 and even getting hands-on with tarantulas and cockroaches 🕷️🐜, the adventure was non-stop. We had beautiful weather to enjoy the waterslide 💦, and we wrapped up the day with hilarious skits and dance-offs! 🎶 We’re so thankful for our students to have this opportunity to try new experiences and have fun with their friends and classmates. #morencibulldogs
One or two missed days a week might not seem like a lot, but lost time adds up over a student’s educational career. Absences can also affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help students catch up. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance
Last week, we hosted an assembly where students were introduced to the Morenci Elementary School branch of the TLC Credit Union! Through this program, students can set personal savings goals and make regular deposits into their own savings accounts. The Student-Run In-School Credit Union empowers young people to build personal finance and employability skills. Student workers gain valuable experience in general credit union operations and learn work ethics as branch managers, tellers, bookkeepers, and auditors.
Student savers can open a no-fee savings account with an initial deposit of just $0.25. They can set savings goals for the year and even receive prizes for developing strong saving habits, showing how rewarding saving can be!
Keep an eye on your child’s folder today or tomorrow for important paperwork. We encourage families to sign up by September 26th to be ready when our school branch opens in November (though you can join later as well). For more information, visit:

We had a fantastic Grandparents Breakfast at the elementary today, with over 300 people in attendance! Thank you to all the wonderful grandparents and families who joined us. Your presence made this event truly special! 💙 #morencibulldogs
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. By building this habit early, students learn right away that going to school every day is important, helping them succeed in high school and beyond. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two every few weeks. Missing 10%, or about 18 days, increases the chance that your student will not read or master math at the same level as their peers. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Students are considered chronically absent when they miss 10% or more of the school year. This includes both excused and unexcused absences. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Chronic absenteeism has risen to a concerning level, both in Lenawee County and across the state, in the years following the pandemic. Nearly 1 in 3 Lenawee students were chronically absent during the 2022-2023 school year. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
