Dear Parents:
Morse High School will start CASSAS on Saturday, September 7, 2024. The Core Academy: Supporting Student Achievement Success (CASSAS) program is an excellent way for your child to make up missed classes and enjoy a day filled with academic learning and enriching experiences. The schedule for Morse’s CASSAS classes will be the following:

Please encourage your child to arrive before 8:00 am. CASSAS is an additional instructional day that provides academic and enrichment support in a variety of core subject areas to assist students in reaching their academic and enrichment goals. The Morse CASSAS program is designed based on the need of our school community and students registered to attend. CASSAS provides instruction for a minimum of four (4) hours and students should report to Morse by 7:50am to sign in and the last instructional round will end at 12pm.
