November 11th is Veterans Day. We will be celebrating at AC Moore with a musical performance by our 4th and 5th grade students. You are cordially invited to join us. The performance starts at 8:15 a.m.

Please help us make this show special by sharing your Veterans with us! If you have pictures of your family members that are currently serving or have served in the past, please send photos to elise.helms@richlandone.org. Remember to tell us the name of the veteran and a family connection to AC Moore.

For the 22-23 school year, students that are absent due to illness will receive any missed and/or make-up assignments upon return to school. They will have 5 days to return the completed work to their teacher. This is in accordance with AC Moore's typical absence policy. Devices and extended absence assignments will not be sent home this year. Virtual check-in sessions with students will also not occur. Those practices and procedures were in place as a result of Richland One's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bobcat Families--Please note that the neighbors directly across from the front of the school are having difficulties getting their trash picked up when vehicles are parked in front of their homes and along the edge of their yard. Your courtesy and consideration would be greatly appreciated in addressing their concerns. When visiting the school, please park in the visitors parking area at the corner of Etiwan Avenue and Rosewood Drive and along the street in designated parking spaces.

In an effort to keep the carline safe for students and staff, it is requested that the following carline procedures be followed during the morning and afternoon carline.

• Please pull as far forward to the end of the carline (towards Rosewood Dr.) before stopping your vehicle to allow your student to enter/exit through the gate; do not stop at the main entrance to let students out of or into the car.

• Students are to get out on the passenger side of the carline only, not from the driver side, side facing the road.

• Parents should remain in the car and allow school staff to assist the students into or out of cars.

We would like to send a special Bobcat thank you to the PTO for an awesome fall festival last Friday! The students and families had a wonderful time participating in the games and activities. Thank you for your support of our Bobcat Families and Students!

Thank you Mrs. Ligon, for being willing to get Mummified during the PTO Fall Festival Fundraiser! Thanks for being a great sport!

This week Bobcat students celebrated Career Week! Students explored the world of work by learning about various careers. Each class will researched a specific job from one of the 16 career clusters.

This morning, we had a Dress for Success Parade, where students dressed up for the job they are interested in and want to learn more about in addition. Take a look at our students during Career Day.
