Welcome Back to School!

Don't worry, Mora Elementary is not literally under construction. (Even though there seems to be a lot of road construction in town) Instead, our theme for this year is "Building Our Future". We are excited to welcome everyone back for another great school year!

It is our great pleasure to serve Mora Elementary students, families, and staff for the 2026-27 school year. Our priority every day is to ensure each student is safe and feels connected to our MES family. Our dedicated staff enriches students' lives and works to ensure all students are engaged in their learning. At Mora Elementary School, we ask our students to show their Mustang Pride with the three school rules: Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Safe.

Welcome Back and Go Mustangs!

Contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s education. We look forward to meeting students and parents to work together.

You can contact Mr. Qual at 320-679-6200 or rqual@moraschools.org

Dear Families,

Welcome to the upcoming school year! As we prepare to welcome our students back, the health office wants to ensure a smooth, safe, and healthy transition for everyone.

To help you get ready, please take a moment to review a few important health requirements for the upcoming year:

• Immunizations (Incoming Kindergarteners and new students): State law requires updated immunizations for students entering Kindergarten. Please ensure your student’s updated immunization records (or a notarized exemption form) are on file before the first day of school on September 1st to avoid any exclusion from classes.

• Medications at School: If your student requires any prescription or over-the-counter medications during the school day, a new Medication Administration Form must be filled out each school year. You can easily download this form from our school website: https://www.moraschools.org/page/medications

• Action Plans & Chronic Conditions: If your child has a health condition that requires a care plan (such as asthma, diabetes, allergies, or seizures), please notify the health office. We will need the necessary care information and orders from your doctor's office.

Mark Your Calendar: You can bring any prescribed medical orders or medications directly to the school during our Open House on August 26th.

If you have any questions, need assistance, or just want to chat about your student's health needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help!

Warmly,

Shauna Cronk

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, the Mora Public Schools Transportation Department is actively revamping and restructuring our bus routes. Our goal is to make our routes as streamlined, efficient, and timely as possible for all of our students. If you have not yet filled out the form, please take a moment to review this reminder regarding school bus transportation for the 2026-2027 school year.

Click Here to Access the Transportation Registration Form

CRITICAL NOTICE: NO AUTOMATIC BUS ASSIGNMENTS

Transportation will NOT be automatically assigned this year. If you plan on having your child ride the bus and have not registered them yet, they will not have busing assigned for the start of the school year.

Who Needs to Register?

• REGISTER IF: You plan on actively utilizing school bus transportation this year and have not already done so.

• DO NOT REGISTER IF: You have already submitted a form for this school year, or if your student will walk, drive, or carpool.

Walk-Zone Policy Reminders:

Before filling out the form, please keep in mind our district guidelines:

• High School Students (Grades 7–12): Living within a 2-mile radius are considered walkers and are not eligible for busing (unless crossing Hwy 65).

• Elementary Students (Grades K–6): Living within a 1-mile radius are considered walkers and are not eligible for busing (unless crossing Hwy 65).

If you are unsure whether your student qualifies for transportation, please call our office before registering.

Thank you again for your cooperation and partnership as we work to make our school transportation system safer and more efficient for everyone!

Sincerely,

Mora Public Schools Transportation Department
