MASD Elementary Redistricting Plan

We are writing to inform you about our Moon Area Elementary Redistricting Plan beginning at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. This plan was developed to balance enrollment across our elementary schools and ensure the best possible learning environment for all students. While this transition is still months away, we want to ensure families have ample time to prepare and receive all necessary information.

MASD Calendar Update

We want to ensure our families understand how this year's weather-related school closures will impact our school calendar.

As we previously shared, Thursday, April 17th, originally designated as part of spring break, will now be a regular school day. This change is necessary to make up for the snow day we had on Monday, January 6th.

The district designated Wednesday, January 22, 2025 as an Act 80 Day. This means students will not have to make up the day.
