Welcome to Moffat County School District RE-1. As our new school year begins, opportunities for new classes, new faces, and new schedules will generate much excitement. We’ve had the opportunity to make new goals, design new strategies and began to develop new strategic plans for achieving our goals. We have set high academic goals at Moffat County School District RE-1 this year.

We can be proud of what we have achieved at Moffat County School District RE-1–in our classrooms, on the playing fields and in many other school activities - but our achievements are not due to complacency but to a staff dedicated to the vision, mission and common goals. We must evaluate what has been done, determine what we can do to improve, and identify what we need to make improvements on. Oliver Wendell Holmes said: “The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are going. Unless you set big goals, worthwhile goals, you’ll never move beyond your current abilities.”

I simply believe that MCSD is on the forefront of a major shift in public education. MCSD is a unique district that offers opportunities for students that can’t be captured in other school districts. We are all fortunate to be part of such a dynamic learning community.

It’s all good,

Brent A. Curtice, Superintendent

VISION

“MCSD and community will unite to achieve a common purpose, develop clear measurable goals and provide children opportunities to build the future of their choice.”

MISSION

“Our students will independently grow and learn in a safe, positive, and challenging atmosphere where faculty, staff, and parents are enthusiastic about the teaching and learning process.”

tranSportation

A successful pupil transportation system depends on students, parents and school district staff working together. As we strive to meet the objectives of safe transportation, parents can help us by reviewing these eight simple safety tips with their children.

1. Wear clothing appropriate for winter weather conditions.

2. Be at bus stop at least 5 minutes early.

3. Wait until you hear the air brake noise before trying to board.

4. If crossing in front of bus, wait for signal from driver.

5. Obey the bus driver and know the rules for riding the bus.

6. When boarding the bus, go to your seat and sit down.

7. Be aware of the danger zones around the bus.

8. Treat everyone like you would like to be treated.

BUS SCHEDULESBus Drop-Off TimesMCHS 7:30 a.m. – 7:40 a.m.CMS 7:50 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.Elementary 7:45 a.m. – 7:50 a.m.

Pick-up after school will be elementary school students first, high school second, and middle school last.

Please remember Early Release Fridays.

Please contact the Transportation Department at 824-5511 anytime beginning August 11th with questions concerning bus schedules, pick-up points and elementary attendance areas.

Perhaps in no other phase of education operations does a school district accept more responsibility for student life and welfare than during the mass movement of children in school transportation vehicles. Therefore, it is essential not only to provide adequate equipment, but to strive constantly to improve operational safety and efficiency.
