From the Principal's Desk

Dear Mustang Families,

As we approach the upcoming week, I want to take a moment to recognize and honor the veterans in our community and beyond. In observance of Veterans Day, there will be no school on Tuesday. We are deeply grateful to all who have served and sacrificed for our country—your courage and commitment inspire us every day.

To honor the veterans in our students’ lives, we will be hosting a special tribute during both breakfast and lunch on campus. We are creating a Veteran Wall in our cafeteria throughout the month of November to recognize and honor these heroes. Students can contribute names to this wall by seeing us in the cafeteria.

We’re also excited to announce that the rescheduled Honor Roll Celebration will take place on Monday during 6th and 7th periods. This event is for students only, but those who achieve Honor Roll all four quarters will be invited to a special celebration later in the year where families will be welcome to attend.

Thank you for your continued support in making Aquilla J. Morgan High School a place of pride, respect, and excellence.

Brittney Wilhelm
Principal, Aquilla J. Morgan High School

Parents and guardians can now report student absences online at any time using our convenient Absence Reporting Form.

English Form: Click here

Spanish Form: Click here

Please note the following guidelines:

Absences reported after 7:00 AM on the day of the absence may not update records before the start of school. However, all absences will still generate an automated notification.

Absences must be reported within 48 hours of the missed school day to be reflected in attendance records.

Submitting the form does not guarantee the absence will be excused. Families may use the form for up to 6 excused absences per school year. After that, a doctor’s or professional note is required.

Supporting documentation (e.g., doctor’s note, funeral program, court request, military forms) must be uploaded to the Focus Parent App or delivered directly to the school.

When completing the form, please include your child’s full name and student ID to ensure accurate processing.
