School Messenger Announcement Sent 8/9/20
Greetings Moore Square Families. Hopefully you were able to tune in and see our FACEBOOK LIVE post from Thursday. In case you missed it, please visit the Moore Square website where you will find not only the link to the LIVE broadcast, but also the PowerPoint Orientation that our Magnet Coordinator, Ms. Shepard created. We continue to use our website as the central location for all you need to know. There is an abundance of information there to get you ready for the 2020-2021 school year...sure to be a year like no other!
This Thursday, August 13, is our first day of student orientation. All students should participate in orientation daily from August 13-August 26. From 7:30-11:05 each day, students will log in to meet with their teachers for orientation activities such as team building, establishing class procedures, reviewing expectations, and building relationships. We are looking forward to reconnecting with our students and having this time for them to transition back into the routine of school.
So that students will have the instructional materials they need to engage in their learning (workbooks, ELA novels, etc), we will host pick ups at school. Pick up times at the school are:
6th grade August 13 1pm-4pm
7th grade August 14 1pm-4pm
8th grade August 17 1pm-4pm
For those of you who have requested a device, the county will be contacting you to let you know when you can go to one of the device distribution centers to pick it up. If you DID NOT fill out the survey to request a device or hot spot and you need one, please contact Ms. McCaskill (cmccaskill2@wcpss.net) or Dr. Purvis (ttpurvis@wcpss.net) and they will assist you.
The first official day of classes is on August 27th. We hope to have schedules ready for you to see by Tuesday, August 11, if not before. We will send out a message when they are finalized in Powerschool and ready for you to view them. Starting first period, students will login to a Google Meet with their teacher. The Google Meet login for each teacher is M2LastName. Students should be familiar with logging in from the spring, but please reference the website and the orientation slide show for helpful links if you get stuck and need help. You will also find the daily schedule there.
I’d like to send a special thank you to our PTSA who continue to be our heroes by supporting us and our students. This week they are collecting extra school supplies for families who need them and also doing the packing of the instructional materials for 680 students. That’s no small task! Please consider joining the PTSA. They have many great opportunities for you to support Moore Square. Information on joining the PTSA can be found under the PARENTS tab of the school website.
As you have questions, please contact us. We are here to help. Until we can be together again, please take care of yourselves and stay safe. -Dr. Jordan
