Moravia Park Scholars and Families
Happy 1st Day of the 2020-2021 School Year!
Principal Brooks' Message
Dear Moravia Park Scholars and Families,
Welcome to Moravia Park Elementary for the 2020-2021 school year! We are excited to start the 2020-2021 school year with you all on Tuesday, September 8th and look forward to a great year of learning and growing together! It is our goal to work as a school community to provide meaningful and engaging virtual learning experiences and opportunities for enrichment that will support scholars and families to excel in the new school year. As a school community, we have spent a lot of time reflecting and planning for the upcoming school year. While there may be some new approaches, we strive to collectively work together to keep the special things and traditions our scholars and families love about Moravia Park at the center of our work together. Your child(ren) can look forward to many wonderful, learning experiences while continuing their journey of academic and social growth. Our staff has worked hard to prepare for our amazing scholars and we truly look forward to seeing all of our scholars' beautiful smiles virtually tomorrow morning.
Our partnership with you is both valued and appreciated, as we know working together will make this school year successful. Over the next few weeks and throughout the school year, we will continue to provide opportunities for Moravia Park Family Town Halls and opportunities to provide feedback so that we can best meet the needs of our scholars and families. Again, we are excited for the first day of school, Tuesday, September 8th, and we look forward to virtually seeing our scholars and families. Thank you for your continued collaboration and we look forward to a wonderful 2020-2021 school year together!
Warmest Regards,
Principal Brooks
