Dear Parents and Guardians, This letter serves to provide a general overview of our student/parent reunification plan in the event of an emergency at our school(s). Situations that may require reunification include severe weather, power outages, hazardous material incidents, gas leaks, or other critical incidents involving law enforcement.

We are committed to keeping you informed and ensuring a smooth process should such an event arise. Detailed instructions, including the designated reunification site (if off-campus), will be provided via our communication channels during an emergency. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our students and school community.

Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Kanabec County is developing a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes for all road users (pedestrians, drivers, bicyclists, and public transit users) on County-owned roadways. The Action Plan will identify projects and policies to proactively address these challenges based on data analysis and stakeholder input. What is SS4A? The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the SS4A grant program to distribute funds for safety projects in 2022-2026. The SS4A funds projects for regional, local and Tribal agencies through grants. The SS4A supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s goal of zero roadway deaths. You can learn more about SS4A at this link. We want to hear from you! Throughout this process, the project team will seek community input to understand our community’s traffic safety concerns. With community input and safety data, this plan will prioritize roadway projects and policies that address safety challenges. Please take some time to share your thoughts on how to make Kanabec County roads safer for pedestrians, drivers, bicyclists, and public transit users.

Join Superintendent of Schools Dan Voce for Cookies & Conversation on Thursday November 14th, 2024 from 4:00pm - 4:30pm. This event will be hosted in the Mora High School District Boardroom #1100A. Please consider joining us!

Happy Halloween from the students and staff at Mora Public Schools! Have a safe and fun day!
