Please support MASD Food Services and participate in the Free Meals to Go Program.  You are not taking the meals away from someone who needs it more – they are for all children!  You’re helping the District’s Food Service program stay financially afloat.  The USDA is covering the cost of meals through June 2, 2021. 

During virtual learning, the Moon Area School District Food Service Department is providing a drive-thru meal service for all child(ren) 18 and under from Moon Township or Crescent Township who resides in the Moon Area School District.   

MAEF is continuing their partnership with AmazonSmile to increase the ways in which you can support their cause. MAEF, a 501(c)(3) public charity, was founded in April 2018 to promote, innovate, partner and enhance innovative educational programs, activities and projects that benefit the students of Moon Area School District (MASD) and the communities it serves.

Dear Families:  

While Moon Area School District students are learning virtually, we may still have to delay or cancel our transportation services to private schools due to inclement weather. If this happens, we will post an alert on our website. We will also post the information to our local news stations (WPXI, WTAE, KDKA). We will NOT send a call or an email to families. In addition, we will NOT post this information to social media.  

Post an alert to our website.

Send a call and an email.  

Thank you for your attention to this matter.  

Sincerely,

Moon Area School District 

The Student Assistance Program (SAP) shared the following resources from PDE in their December newsletter. 

"PA Department of Education COVID-19 mitigation efforts continue to require school communities, families, and students to work within changing, complex circumstances and unprecedented situations. The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) continues to develop resources to help schools and families during this pandemic. With higher levels of stress and demonstrated needs related to mental health across PA, PDE would like highlight updated Mental Health and Well-Being Resources, Self-Care Resources, and Social and Emotional Wellness Resources for Families." 

We have now been in the “substantial” range for two weeks in row. Therefore, we are going to move forward with the plan that I shared on Wednesday, November 18. This means our schedule for the next few weeks will be as follows.  

• On Monday, November 23 and Tuesday, November 24, all Hybrid Model students in grades K-12 will report to school in person. 

• On Wednesday, November 25, all students will be virtual as previously scheduled.    

• Thursday, November 26 through Monday, November 30, students will be on break. 

• On Tuesday, December 1, we will initiate our Virtual Mode of Operation. This means all students K-12 will learn virtually beginning on December 1, 2020, unless notified otherwise.
