🦌💙 Deer Are on the Move — Slow Down and Stay Safe!

As the seasons change, deer become more active and may cross roads when you least expect it. Please stay alert, watch the roadsides, and slow down, especially during dawn and dusk when deer are most active.

🚗 If you spot one deer, keep in mind that others may be nearby. Avoid sudden swerves, stay focused, and give yourself plenty of time to react.

Whether you're heading to school, work, practice, or home to your family, getting there safely is always worth slowing down for. 🐴🤍

🎃🧡 Be Bright. Be Seen. Be Safe! 🧡🎃

Halloween should be full of treats, laughter, and happy memories! As our little Mustangs head out for trick-or-treating, let's make sure safety is part of the fun. 👻

🦺 Choose bright or reflective costumes so children are easier for drivers to see.
🔦 Carry flashlights or glow sticks to help light the way.
🚸 Use sidewalks and crosswalks, and look both ways before crossing the street.
🚗 Drivers, please slow down, stay alert, and watch carefully for children, especially after dark.

Our community is full of little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes who are counting on us to help keep them safe. 💙🤍 Let's work together to make sure every child gets home safely after a night of Halloween fun!

🚗💙 Speeding Can Slow You Down—or Stop You Altogether.

A few seconds saved on the road are never worth risking a life. Whether you're heading to school, work, a game, or home to your family, please slow down, stay alert, and drive with care.

Our community is full of students, families, and people who are counting on you to get there safely. The most important thing is not how quickly you arrive, but that you arrive. 🤍

🐴 Let's look out for one another, Mustangs. Every safe choice matters.

Dear Families,

Even though Minnesota provides free school breakfast and lunch to all students, completing the Application for Educational Benefits is still essential for our district—and offers great perks for your family!

Completing this form directly impacts our schools' funding for classroom resources, academic support programs, and student services.

Why Fill It Out?
Benefits for Your Family: Eligible families can receive discounts or full waivers on school activity and athletic fees, field trips, college application fees, and standardized testing (like ACTs).

Benefits for Our District: Every completed application helps secure critical state and federal funding that keeps our classrooms well-equipped and supported.

Simple & Quick: Only 1 application is needed per household. You do not need to fill out separate forms for each child—just list all students living in your home on a single form.

100% Confidential: All information is completely private and used solely to determine program funding and fee discounts.

How to Apply: You can complete and submit Applications for Educational Benefits ONLINE (after you create or log in to Edutrak). The process is quick, easy, and FREE. No more paper applications are lost at the bottom of a backpack. Look for the BLUE button on your home page after logging into your Edutrak account to start the application process.

Income guidelines for the Application of Educational Benefits can be found here: https://www.fna.usda.gov/schoolmeals/fr-040926

You must create and register an account with https://foodservice.edutrak.com/ to begin if you haven’t already. An Edutrak account will allow you to view all transactions your student(s) make here at school, deposit money into your family's Meal Account, and submit the Application for Educational Benefits. If you need the information to register a new Edutrak Account, please contact nutrition@moraschools.org.

Paper applications are still available upon request.

Taking just five minutes to fill out this form makes a huge difference for our entire school community. Thank you for your continued support!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Heather Stutz at heatherstutz@moraschools.org, or visit: https://www.moraschools.org/page/nutritiondepartment.
