Mora Public Schools

Dear students, Families, and Staff,

We are pleased to share that power has now been fully restored at Mora Public Schools. We want to sincerely thank you for your patience, understanding, and flexibility during today’s unexpected outage.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our top priority. While situations like this are beyond our control, we deeply appreciate the support and patience of our families as we work to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

We anticipate that school and dismissal will proceed per the normal schedule.

Thank you again for your patience and cooperation.

Dear students and families,

Mora Schools wanted to send out information regarding road construction and traffic before and after school. Road construction in the City of Mora continues to have parts of the city streets blocked off. However, Grove St. is paved and provides a clear route to 9th St. which connects MHS and MES parking lots. Grove St. also connects a road that allows vehicles to enter MHS from the North. Using Grove St. to access MES and MHS may reduce your commute time and be less congested.

Kanabec County also has a road construction project on CR 6 that connects Mora to Hwy 47. They are repaving the road and at times will be down to one lane traffic until the project is finished.

We understand that the timing for road construction is not ideal for back to school, however, it is out of our control. Here are some ideas that may help improve your commute to school.
-Adjust your commute by allowing yourself more time.
-Use alternative routes if you are able by using Grove St. to 9th St.
-Be patient and kind as you navigate traffic.

September is Minnesota School Board Recognition Month — a time to honor the dedicated individuals who serve as the guiding light for student success in our public schools. School board members in Mora School District serve countless hours to ensure our public school students have access to high-quality learning and extra-curricular opportunities that prepare them for a bright future.

We are proud to recognize the members of the Mora School Board (pictured left to right): Superintendent Dan Voce, Board Chair Amy Schultz, Member Jill Koch, Vice Chair/Treasurer Ken Mattson, Board Clerk Dakota Helmbrecht, Member Matthew Heggernes, Member Moe.

This September, we encourage everyone in our community to take a moment to thank a school board member. Their commitment and service are essential to strong schools, vibrant communities, and the foundation of our democracy — public education.
