Principal
Greetings Tigers!
As your new principal, it is an honor and a privilege to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year. My name is Patrick Lazo, and I held the position of Dean of Students at Morrison Elementary for the past three years. At Morrison Elementary School we are proud of the dedicated effort of our students, parents, and staff to make Morrison the wonderful place that it is to learn.
Morrison Elementary’s success is a result of the great partnership of all stakeholders, and this partnership has resulted in Morrison Elementary School being recognized as a California Pivotal Practice Award winner for the 2021-2022 school year. At Morrison we believe that citizens of the future will be life-long learners, able to work and interact in a diverse society. To achieve grade level mastery, our students use critical thinking skills and problem-solving strategies. Our classrooms are welcoming places of collaboration and cooperation where students develop and maintain positive social interactions.
Morrison Elementary is home to approximately six hundred diverse students in transitional through fifth grade along with twenty-five teachers and over fifteen support staff to ensure student safety and successful learning. All members of Morrison work towards the same goal: Every student. Future Ready. Our students, parents, and staff are highly motivated, and desire the very best, and we are proud to witness our extremely capable students consistently strive to meet and exceed expectations.
Our parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a great organization for our parents to network and support one another, and to help guide the direction of our school programs. As we transition through the pandemic our goal is to have more parental involvement. When conditions permit, we would love to have parents volunteer in and supporting school-wide events. We hope that you’ll join us at one of our many community events, including our fundraisers and back-to-school night.
It is a joy to serve the Morrison Elementary School community, staff, and students. I look forward to the great experiences that lie before us in this school year. I wish all our talented Tigers a terrific 2023-2024 school year.
