Mora Community,
We have made it through a very trying year, we have witnessed deep divisions form in our country and state and have dealt with hardships both personal and professional. We also know that not all learning occurs at school. With that in mind, I want the students of Mora Independent Schools to have a snow day to watch history unfold, celebrate your family, and reflect on how we can come together and create a better community for all of us. It is not a day off, it is an opportunity for you to reflect on what is truly important. I would like our students to watch historical events, build a snowman, or simply appreciate the day and recharge. Teachers, you are appreciated, your principal will provide you with a meeting link for a district wide staff meeting.
Sincerely,
Marvin MacAuley
Superintendent

Dear Community,
I wanted to give you some information about our current status and the prospect of moving back into the hybrid model for the elementary school. Last night, the School Board decided to return back into hybrid learning on January 18th for the elementary school as allowed by NM PED and following established re-entry guidelines provided to us from NM PED. The School Board did allow flexibility and has allowed that the start date be fluid dependent on infection rates within our School District. This means if infection rates are high, we do not have to start hybrid learning on the 18th we can wait until infection rates decrease. In preparation for directly servicing students, we are required to complete surveillance testing for 10% of all staff who potentially may be in contact students for a two week period. In addition we have installed required MERV-13 air filtration and also have HEPA air purifiers for additional safety measures for our students and staff. All safety protocols will be followed should we return to the hybrid learning model. We still do not have a start date for middle school or high school, the start date has to come from the NM PED.
Stay safe!
Marvin MacAuley
