H.R. Moye STEM Academy

Every day—and every minute—at school matters! Our campus attendance goal is 95%, and we need your partnership to help our students be at school, on time, and here for the full school day.

⚠️ Did you know about the 90% Rule?

Texas law requires students to attend at least 90% of the days a class is offered in order to receive credit or a final grade for that class. This requirement can apply even when absences are excused.

That means frequent absences, late arrivals, and leaving school early can add up to valuable instructional time missed.

❤️ Right Here. Right Now.

Showing up means more than being marked present. It means being right here, right now for the learning, friendships, celebrations, and experiences that make the school years successful and unforgettable.

🎉 And we want to celebrate great attendance! Throughout the school year, we will continue to have monthly attendance incentives that our students can participate in. Each month will bring another opportunity for students to be recognized and enjoy something special for making attendance a priority!

Help us build strong attendance habits:

⏰ On time.
🏫 Every day.
🕒 All day.

Together, let’s reach 95% attendance, celebrate our students, and make every day count! 💪📅🐾

Parents, you can refer your child for Gifted & Talented (GT) screening! Referrals are open now through October.

If you believe your demonstrates advanced thinking, creativity, curiosity, or strong academic potential, we encourage you to consider submitting a referral.

📱 Simply scan the QR code or use the link on the flyer to complete the referral form.

We want to make sure every Mountain Lion has the opportunity to have their strengths recognized! ❤️💙🐾

Families, our Elementary Intramurals are officially underway at Moye STEM Academy! 🏀⚽🏐🏈

🏠 How Can You Help at Home?

A little practice each day can make a big difference!

📚 Read every day and ask your child to tell you about what they read.
⭐ Practice sight words by having your child both read and write them.
➕ K–2: Practice addition and subtraction facts.
✖️ Grades 3–5: Practice multiplication and division facts.
💻 Encourage IXL Math practice at home.
👏 Celebrate growth and effort! Remind your child that progress comes with practice.

Not sure what your child should practice? Reach out to your child’s teacher! They can share specific information about your child’s current progress and provide ideas for what you can work on at home.

We will continue monitoring these skills throughout the year so we can celebrate growth, identify areas where students need support, and keep every student moving forward.

❤️💙 School + Home = Stronger Students! 📚✨

Moye families, EPISD has shared information regarding the proposed Bond, and we encourage you to take a few minutes to learn more about what is being proposed and what it could mean for Moye STEM Academy. ❤️💙

The district has created a website where families can find bond information, proposed projects, campus-specific information, FAQs, voter resources, and short videos explaining the proposal and its potential tax impact.

🔗 Learn more:
EPISD Bond Information

We are also sharing Moye’s campus information sheet, which outlines the proposed improvements for our school and what a bond with no increase in the tax rate could provide for our campus.

We encourage our families to review the information, learn about the proposal, and stay informed as we get closer to the election.💙
