Letter from the Editor A
ugust is traditionally a significant “pivot” month for families with children inschool, along with teachers, administrators, and staff in the Moore Public School district. Summer vacation grinds to a stop in the middle of the month,and the yellow busses start rolling through city streets, a sign that school is back in session. It’s usually an exciting time. But this year, there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty surrounding a return to the classroom. That’s why we visited with Moore Public School administrators about the “Return to Learn” plan for the 2020-2021 school year. How is it possible for the MPS team to create a plan like this when the landscape is, quite literally, shifting from day-to-day? What we learned is that it is difficult. More difficult than most of us can imagine. So, we hope that as you read this month’s cover story that you would keep inmind that the folks who work in Moore’s public schools, from the superintendent’s office down to the bus drivers (and everyone in between), have your child’s best interest at heart. These folks do what they do because they love kids. Please extend to them grace and support as they do their best to navigate tricky circumstances.
