Optional/required day set Oct. 28

By Kathy Thomson

Monday, Oct. 28 is a fifth day optional/required school day at Moran Independent School District.

“Please remember that only students with excellent attendance, behavior, citizenship, and classroom performance are permitted to take these optional days off,” said superintendent Danny Freeman. “If you have not been contacted directly by your child’s teacher, then please send your student to school.”

Children who attend school on Monday, Oct. 28 will be released at 12:00 noon.

“This is a great opportunity for all students to get specific, targeted academic instruction,” said Freeman. “In the event your child is not required to attend, but you would like to send them for academic extension services, then as always, feel free to send them to school.”

PTO Trunk or Treat

The annual PTO Trunk or Treat will be held in the Moran school parking lot starting at 5:00 p.m. on Oct. 31.

The Volunteer Fire Department will give free hay rides, starting at the school parking lot, at 8:00 p.m. on Halloween.
