Subject: 🎉 Welcome Back to School – Important First Week Reminders!
Dear Moore Elementary Families,
Welcome to a brand new school year at Moore Elementary! We are thrilled to begin the 2025–2026 school year and cannot wait to see our students' smiling faces walking through the doors tomorrow morning.
To help ease the transition, parents and guardians will be allowed to walk students to their classrooms during the first week of school (Monday, August 4th – Friday, August 8th). This special opportunity allows you to help your child get settled and feel confident in their new learning environment.
Please remember:
🕖 Doors open at 7:00 AM
📚 Instruction begins promptly at 7:45 AM
⏰ Students are considered late at 7:46 AM
We kindly ask all families to be patient during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. The first few days can be busy, but with your support and understanding, we’ll create a smooth and safe experience for everyone.
📌 Action Required:
Please be sure to review and sign off on the GCPS Student Code of Conduct by completing the linked form:

Greetings to our Wonderful Parents💛💙💛 Just wanted to give you a heads-up about a fun event happening at Moore Elementary called the Penny War! It's a school-wide fundraiser where each class, from Pre-K through 5th grade, will have their own jar to collect coins. The goal is to see which class can raise the most money. Students can earn points by putting pennies, other coins, and even dollar bills into their class jar. The class that collects the most money by the end of the competition will win a fantastic grand prize! We're looking for donations in a couple of ways: * If you have any spare change or extra dollar bills at home, we'd greatly appreciate any contribution to help our class! * We're also looking for donations of large containers (like big plastic jars or buckets) that we can use as the collection "jars" for each classroom. The Penny War kicks off on the first day of school, July 31st, and will run all the way until December 12th. Let me know if you have any questions or if you're able to help out with a donation💙💛💙 Much Love, Moore PBIS EVENTS
As we prepare to begin the 2025-2026 school year, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority. The Griffin-Spalding County School System (GSCS) is committed to creating a secure and supportive environment in all of our schools. We are implementing several important safety enhancements across our district.
Classroom Emergency Bags:
All classrooms in GSCS will be equipped with a standard emergency Go-Kit to help ensure staff are prepared in case of an emergency.
Security Monitors in Elementary Schools:
Beginning this school year, all elementary schools will have Security Monitors provided by Synergy Security Services. They will work closely with our staff to maintain a safe school environment.
Open Gate Metal Detectors in Middle and High Schools:
To enhance school safety, we will be using Open Gate Metal Detectors in all our middle and high schools. These devices will replace the previous Evolv system and are designed to improve efficiency. All students will be screened using the Open Gate system upon arrival on campus.
Increased School Resource Officer Presence:
Each high school in our district will now be staffed with two School Resource Officers (SROs). These officers play a critical role in promoting safety, building relationships with students and responding swiftly to any security concerns that may occur.
We appreciate your support and cooperation as we take these steps to ensure a safe learning environment for every student.
