Preparing for Recess
The Moretown School is committed to providing a 30 minute lunch and recess for all students. We hope to our have recess outside as often as possible throughout the year.  Unless dangerous weather is forecasted or occurring we plan to take our "tough" Moretown students outside. Please make sure that students have appropriate clothing and footwear for our recess time.  If you need any assistance with getting the right clothes, please contact our office.  

Picture Day Information coming soon
Moretown pictures day is scheduled for October 4th.  There will be a make up date later during the month of October.  Information regarding pictures will be sent home on Monday, September 19. 

School Information Packets
Reminder:  School information packets need to be returned to school as soon as possible.  The information provided to us is essential in building and maintaining excellent communication connections between school and home.  Let us know if you need assistance with any aspect of this process.   

Posting Pictures of Students
Kids learning and working with others is a perfect picture idea.  We appreciate everyone's desire to take pictures of Moretown kids at their best.  We would like to remind our school community that taking and posting Moretown student pictures on the internet may be against the wishes of families, who for a variety of reasons, do not want these pictures posted.  We thank you in advance for your help with this request.

Cub Scouts    The local Cub Scout organization, Pack 798 is looking for Kindergarteners - 5th grade boys to begin a 2016-2017 program. What makes Scouting truly unique is the opportunities it gives families to participate in fun, engaging activities that help the development of the boy and his siblings. The boys meet one to three times per month within their age/grade group and then once a month with everyone. There are family activities like ice skating at the Waterbury Ice Rink, visiting the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, even the Lots-o-Balls mini golf park in Duxbury. We train leaders and participate in Statewide Scouting events.     American Flatbread is having a Benefit Bake on Friday, September 23. Come and support your local Scouts and learn about this way of enriching the life of your entire family.      For more information see the Pack's website: cubpack798.org and beascout.scouting.org. For specific questions, email annmarie@madriver.com.
