Weekly Update 8/25/23
-
Intramurals: Will begin with flag football on Monday, August 28th at 2:30pm in the school gym. At this time, students do not need to sign up to attend, however, they must have sneakers or tennis shoes to participate. For a full schedule visit our school website.
-
Morning Arrival: Please do not drop students off on the Person Street sidewalk during morning arrival. Doing so impedes the flow of traffic turning onto Person Street and compromises the safety of students using the crosswalk at the Person St./Davie St. intersection.
-
Cell Phones: As a general expectation, students are not permitted to access cell phones during the school day. Please help support our efforts by refraining from calling or texting your student during the school day. If you must connect with your student, please do so by calling the main office at 919-664-5737 - we will relay your message.

Walk/Run for Autism on October 14: Please consider coming out and joining Moore Square staff and students as we participate with Team Dreaming Tree to walk/run the streets of Raleigh in support of the Autism Society of North Carolina. This annual event is not only a great run/walk through the streets of historic Raleigh, with a final uphill ½ mile that will test your endurance, but also raises money for a great cause. The fee is $30, and all money goes to the Society. Join our team and help support the Autism Society of NC!
