Dora Moore Elementary
Hi Families!
Welcome to November! Thank you to all who joined us for our Golden Eagle Assembly and/or our Halloween Parties and Parade. The first trimester of instruction ends this week and our first report cards will come home soon in those student portfolio binders. Three solid weeks until Thanksgiving--Let's get it!
Mr. Janson & Mrs. Watson

Meal Benefits Support Information; Continued!
The Dora Moore community responded last year in a big way allowing us to redistribute about $5,000 in non-perishable goods, household items, and grocery gift cards to families within our community. Thank you!
Unfortunately, it is clear the delay in SNAP benefits will continue.
The Dora Moore Community Store will be restocked and open daily around arrival and dismissal 8:30 - 9:30 and 3:30 - 4:30 this week. ANYONE is welcome to come 'shop' for FREE FOOD and clothing. Enter down the stairs (Door #15) to the right of the main entrance.
If you have questions or need other nuanced support--email doramooreptsa@gmail.com, abram_janson@dpsk12.net, and joshua_konz@dpsk12.net.
Help Our Enrollment; Spread the Word
Please consider sharing our marketing materials with your neighbors and those in your greater community.
A fully enrolled school is a fully funded school--and with Denver experiencing declining enrollment in most neighborhoods, we are continually trying to retain 100% of our families and attract new families that are aligned in values.
Please share and post on your social media and community groups:

Middle School Option in Curtis Park; MAC
As your students prepare to take the next step in their educational journey, we would love the opportunity to introduce your families to MAC Middle School. We provide an exceptional learning environment for students, and we are excited to invite interested families to our school to learn more about our purpose-based Middle School.
MAC’s Middle School is one of the first purpose-based schools in the United States and was featured in NAIS Independent Schools Magazine. Immersed in authentic and applicable learning environments, students develop a greater sense of self, and their contribution to the outside world.
