Hello, November! 🍎

November is here, and great things are happening at Moore Elementary!

October was a busy month filled with learning, assessments, and exciting activities! Our students and teachers have been working hard, and the assessments completed throughout the month provide valuable data that helps our teachers plan engaging, targeted instruction to meet the individual needs of our students. Every piece of data helps us continue to grow and achieve excellence together!

As we move into November, we have several important dates to remember! November 3rd is a student holiday, and we are excited to welcome our Fall Book Fair! Be sure to mark your calendars for Family Book Fair Night on November 17th! We encourage all of our Moore families to stop by, browse the wonderful selection of books, and celebrate the joy of reading. There is nothing quite like the excitement of a child finding a new book!

We are also looking forward to our upcoming Thanksgiving Break, November 23–27. We hope this time provides our Moore families with opportunities to relax, recharge, and enjoy special moments together.

At Moore Elementary, we have so many wonderful things happening each day, and we are committed to sharing our amazing story with our school community! We are proud of our students, grateful for our dedicated staff, and thankful for the continued partnership of our families. Your support makes a difference!

Please never hesitate to reach out with questions, feedback, or celebrations. We love hearing from our families and celebrating the great things happening at Moore!

Thank you for being part of our Moore family and for helping us continue Achieving Excellence Together!

Warm regards,

Rebecca Hignight

We welcome visitors to Moore Elementary to volunteer, conference, or have lunch with your child. We are committed to providing a safe and orderly environment, protecting our students at all times. We look forward to having a productive relationship with all parents and guardians!

If a parent/guardian is on campus in a volunteer opportunity, please make sure that you are only visiting the area you are authorized to visit. We welcome all support and volunteers and we want to continue making sure that we are being safe and respectful of all spaces in the building.

Student visitors from other campuses and/or minor children are not permitted to school events that take place during the instructional day. This also applies to lunch and dismissal times. All students and/or minor children present on campus or a facility before or after the instructional day are required to be supervised by the parent/guardian. An example of this would be if a parent/guardian is attending a teacher conference.

Arrival/Tardies/Absences

School hours are from 8:15 AM to 3:35 PM, with doors opening at 7:55 AM. For your child’s safety, please ensure they are not left unattended outside the school building. Staff will not be available to monitor your child, so we ask that your child is not dropped off or waiting anywhere on the campus until 7:55. Students that arrive after 8:15 are considered tardy. At that time, a parent or guardian will need to sign the student in with the front desk receptionist. Attendance is taken at 10:10 a.m. daily. Students who leave school prior to the 10:10 a.m. will be marked absent for the entire day. If your child is absent, please email a note to moore@cfisd.net within 3 days for the absence to be excused.

Dismissal and Early Departure

Dismissal starts at 3:35 PM. If you need to change your child’s transportation, please submit your request in writing to Moore@cfisd.net no later than 2:30 PM. To avoid disrupting dismissal procedures, any students leaving early must be picked up from the front office by 2:55 PM. Please note that any changes with student transportation will not be accepted if an email is sent to your child’s teacher. You must email Moore@cfisd.net in order to make a change. Any change to transportation must be sent to the campus each day there is a transportation change. If your child rotates their mode of transportation on alternating days or weeks, a note each day must be provided to the campus in order for the transportation change to go into effect. We want to make sure that teachers have the most accurate and up to date information on an indvidual green sticker that will be placed on the child each time there is a transportation change submitted to the front office.The person picking up the child must be one of the guardians listed or the person designated in the email and you must include a picture of your license in the email. A student will not be released without a physical ID being shown, we will not accept pictures of ID's on the phone. Please try to have your child keep their same method of transportation at dismissal time. Thank you again for your support with helping us maintain a smooth and safe dismissal for all students.

Club Rewind

Students that are enrolled in Club Rewind may be picked up after Moore dismissal of car riders. This may be at 4:05 PM. Please make sure that you are not in the car rider line to pick up your student from Club Rewind. We want to make sure you are not waiting in a line and then having to be rerouted to the end.

Walkers/Car Riders

If your child is a walker, please meet them at the side of the building closest to where car rider line begins. If your child is a car rider, then you must be in the car to pick up your child. If you choose to park your car on the street or in the neighborhood, then your child needs to be listed as a walker. You can then meet your child at the walker gate. Walkers will be dismissed last in the dismissal rotation in order to prevent students from walking through and around cars. If you choose to not wait on your child, please allow your child to ride the bus. Students will not be released to parents that walk up to the main entrance of the school. Any student that is listed as a car rider will be released to the driver in their vehicle. We ask that parents do not get out of their cars to open the door for their child. This can slow down the car rider line, causing unnecessary traffic on the main street. If you do not have a car rider tag, please give your name and students name to the staff member with your drivers license. If you are sending someone other than yourself, please follow the email procedures. You will be asked to pull forward and park if we need to retrieve your child. This will help the flow of the car rider line.

Attendance matters to us - everyday of learning counts. Pleae make sure your child is in his/her classroom before 10:10 AM daily, unless of course they are sick. We will be recognizing classes with the highest % of attendance each nine weeks with different prizes. Did you know that a factor in our federal funding actually comes from our daily attendance percentage?

Here is a link for all parents to access to learn more information about their chid's curriculum expectations. The links provided below are a useful tool at your fingertips to learn about every subject in grades PK-5. The links are provided by the CFISD curriculum department.

The school and your child's teacher will be emailing you information to keep you informed of what is going on school-wide and in your child's individual classes. Emails are sent to the parent or guardian who is listed as Guardian 1 in the CFISD registration paperwork. Please check to see if you or your child's other guardian are receiving these weekly emails. If not, please emaile moore@cfisd.net so that we can update your email address in our official school records. Additionally, we share lots of pictures, reminders, and updates via social media channels. Please follow Moore on your favorite channel! Thank you for ensuring you are getting our communications!

We ask all parents and guardians to please take a moment to review the Health Guidance Reminder posted below for important information about when students should stay home and other helpful health tips. Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy, comfortable, and ready to learn!

We want to provide the best customer service possible at Moore. We do know that students may forget items left at home. If you bring that item to school we make every effort to get it delivered to your child, however, the only items that will be accepted are medication, glasses, and laptops. Just please know, it may take some time before we are able to get it back to the classroom. We are not accepting lunch drop offs as we do not have the staff to make lunch deliveries throughout the day. We will also not accept any food deliveries from Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. Please do not worry as we will make sure your child does not go without a lunch. They can still get a lunch from the cafeteria. If you want to bring your child their lunch, you can come during their lunch time and deliver it to them. We have limited lunch visitors to one parent/guardian a week so that all parents or guardians have an opportunity to come to lunch. Lunch visitors for the 26-27 school year will begin Monday, September 28, 2026.

The campus can not accept any flowers, food, balloons, or any gift deliveries for students.

Moore has a lost and found cabinet that will be located against the wall in the cafeteria. Please have your child check for their lost items. If your child has left something in the hallway, in the cafeteria, or outside, it will be placed in the lost and found cabinet. Only students are permitted to go through the lost and found. If your child has looked for their lost item and it is still missing, please email your child's teacher and they can check to see if the item is in the classroom or the front office. Items that are not picked up by the end of each semester will be donated to a local charity.
