We're excited to share that Mora ISD is now offering a Food 4 Kids school-based pantry to support any MISD students and families in need. There’s no cost, no judgment — just care and community.
If you or someone you know could use a little extra support, please contact Rachel Rogers at 575-447-0884 to request food assistance.
Together, we’re nourishing our future.
Mora Schools would like to remind all families and staff that elementary students are not permitted to walk to the gym for games by themselves. Teachers must have a visual of who is picking up each student before they are released. Additionally, students in grades 6 and under may not attend any athletic games or after-school events without an adult present. This is to ensure the safety and supervision of all students during evening and extracurricular activities. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep all students safe and accounted for during school events. Thank you for your continued support of our Rangers and Rangerettes!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our amazing cafeteria staff for preparing the delicious meals and to all the helpers who pitched in to serve our students. Your dedication made last week's menu of global flavors and fun possible!
We were so busy serving and celebrating that we forgot to take a picture of every entrée — but trust us, they were all delicious! 🍽️😄
We’re also so proud of our students for participating in the taste tests and exploring new menu items from around the world. Your enthusiasm keeps our program growing and inspires us to keep bringing fresh ideas to the cafeteria.
