PSSA Results

The 2011-2012 PSSA results are in, and Moore Elementary School was awarded Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) for the fifth consecutive year!  We are very excited that our students, overall, reached the benchmarks in Math and Reading.  We didn't quite reach the 81% level for Reading...but through State calculations of Growth, we were awarded the benchmark!

As a result of our students reaching AYP, the students in Grades 4-6 will be given a special reward.  Each student in those grade-levels will be able to toss a water-filled balloon at their Principal, Mr. Dimmick!  Although he is not thrilled to be soaked to the bone...he did say it was better than an ear full of whipped cream!  Mr. Dimmick is also very proud of our Moore students for how hard they worked last school year to achieve their personal goals, as well as the overall school goal of making AYP!

The "Principal-Soaking" will take place in September, although a date has not been chosen just yet.
