As part of our redistricting plan for the 2025-2026 school year, we want to ensure that elementary students who will be transitioning to a new school have an opportunity to visit their future school before the start of the new school year. We will have multiple opportunities for this to occur. Our first series of scheduled student visits will be on March 27 and March 28 for those impacted by the redistricting plan.

The Moon Township Rotary made a special visit to Moon Area elementary schools on February 13-14, meeting with every third-grade class to talk about the power of learning and literacy. As part of their commitment to education, they gifted each third grader their very own dictionary—an incredible resource to support their growth and curiosity.

With the potential for an ice storm tonight, we want to ensure that all families are prepared in case we need to transition to remote learning tomorrow.

If your child will be five years of age on or before September 1, 2025, it's time to register for kindergarten! If you know somebody who resides in Moon Township or Crescent Township and has a child who will be five years old on or before September 1, 2025, please share this information with them. 

An education and support virtual series that provides students, parents, families, staff, etc. the opportunity to learn and gain information from presenters from local organizations, agencies and businesses is available to MASD families and staff members. 

A monthly virtual presentation will be available.

We are writing to inform you about our Moon Area Elementary Redistricting Plan beginning at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. This plan was developed to balance enrollment across our elementary schools and ensure the best possible learning environment for all students. While this transition is still months away, we want to ensure families have ample time to prepare and receive all necessary information.

We want to ensure our families understand how this year's weather-related school closures will impact our school calendar.

As we previously shared, Thursday, April 17th, originally designated as part of spring break, will now be a regular school day. This change is necessary to make up for the snow day we had on Monday, January 6th.

The district designated Wednesday, January 22, 2025 as an Act 80 Day. This means students will not have to make up the day. 

Students from Brooks Elementary School had an exciting opportunity to visit Robert Morris University to watch the women’s basketball team in action.

Mrs. DeCecco third grade students at Brooks Elementary School read "'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving" by Dav Pikley. After reading the book, the students created their own PowerPoint presentation with the goal of persuading someone to eat anything else besides turkey for Thanksgiving. 

At Brooks Elementary School, Miss Fatica's students celebrated "Friendsgiving." They prepared green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken, and stuffing! It was a delicious and fun way to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends! 

It may still be relatively warm outside, but the possibility of winter weather is right around the corner. As we prepare for the possibility of weather-related delays and closings, we want to make sure families are as prepared as possible.

We understand that many of you have additional questions or concerns following the message we shared yesterday regarding the student who was found in possession of a weapon. While we are unable to provide every detail due to the ongoing investigation involving a minor, we want to keep you informed with the information we are able to share at this time. 

Earlier today, a weapon was found in the possession of a high school student. We want to assure you that the safety of all students and staff was never compromised, and there was no immediate threat to anyone on campus. The police were immediately notified, and the situation was handled swiftly. At no point was there any intent to harm students or staff. 

Kindergarten students in Ms. Lamb’s class at J.H. Brooks Elementary School learned about Patriot’s Day on September 11, 2024.

We understand that with recent tragic events, such as the school shooting in Atlanta and other incidents across the country, concerns about school safety are elevated. The safety of our students and staff is a top priority, and we want to reassure you that the Moon Area School District is deeply committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment.
