ALL current HMS 6th & 7th graders requesting a team for next year must have them turned in by January 31, 2019.

Interrupting class during education time makes it difficult for teachers. It is important to inform your child of their after-school arrangements before school. If it is an emergency and you need to call during that day, make sure it is before 2:30 to enable us to have time to deliver the message.  After 2:30 we may not be able to notify the student.

If your child has an appointment, they need a cut slip. Please send a signed note, your student comes to the office before school for a REQUIRED cut-slip allowing them to come to the office at the stated time. This is necessary to not interrupt class and also if the students are in gym, band, or choir we cannot call into those areas.

If your child will be absent for a full day or more, please send a note previous to those dates so they can get an Advanced Dismissal slip and have all their teachers sign it.

The Bismarck community is encouraged to help Moses Elementary School students raise funds for Parker Elementary School in Panama City, Florida, which was impacted by Hurricane Michael in October.  Its homeless student population grew from 30 to 200 children, and the school combined with another one school for a while. Parker is now back in session but still needs clothing, food, beds and even homes for Parker Elementary families.

Each Moses student is pledging to walk one mile a week from January 14 to February 8 to raise funds for Parker school. They will use their gift of an active lifestyle to help those in need—sharing the joy of health and wellness nationwide! Checks can be made payable to Dorothy Moses Elementary School, 1312 S. Columbia Drive, Bismarck, ND 58504. At the end of the four weeks, Moses students will Skype with Parker Elementary and “present” the school with a check to help with their hurricane relief efforts.  For more information, call Moses, 701-323-4180.
