Morgan Weekly Blast 11/13/2026

This evening, Friday, November 13th, you should receive a test Alert message by phone call, email, and text message from the Superintendent.  This is our first full test of the Alert messaging system, which includes a phone call, email, and text message via the ParentSquare system.  You will receive this type of Alert message from the Superintendent when there are weather impacts to our school schedules such as cancellations, delays, or early dismissals.  If you do not receive the message, you should contact Alex Clemons aclemons@clintonpublic.net to review your information and system setup to ensure you will receive these important messages in the future.  

Following the Veterans Day celebration, our guests were treated to a delicious home cooked meal prepared by the “Morgan Makes” Culinary 2 students.

The French 3 and Culinary 2 students welcomed  guest speaker, Michael Giai, Executive Chef of Artisan Restaurant at the Delmar Hotel in West Hartford. He demonstrated how to make authentic French crepes in both English and French, and students paired up to make their own. 

Students in Spanish for Heritage/Native Speakers saw the Spanish play "La gringa" by Carmen Rivera at the Repertorio español in NYC last week! The play explores the hybrid identity that a bicultural student has growing up in the United States. Students took the train down to the city and enjoyed a beautiful day at the theatre! Many thanks to the Clinton Education Foundation for making this trip possible.

We are making great progress on the FAFSA. 48% of our seniors have now completed their FAFSA requirement. We offered help sessions for seniors on Thursday, November 12 and many more students were able to get this process started. If your senior has started their FAFSA, don’t forget to follow the emailed link to complete the parent portion of the FAFSA. Help us reach our goal of 100% completion!

Most of the seniors have submitted their college applications. We encourage students to check their admission portals to ensure that they have what they need to evaluate their application. Continue to reach out to college admission offices with questions and show demonstrated interest. 

Save the date for the CT State Application Day. We will have Bernie Shea from the Gateway campus of CT State at Morgan on December 2 to help students complete their applications to CT State.
