Dear Parents & Community Members,
We are starting the process of developing a clear VISION for what Moore Haven Middle-High School will strive to become as we reach for excellence in all we do. To begin this process, Faculty & Staff Members met yesterday afternoon to reflect on our current Vision Statement and develop revised Vision Statements that they believe more accurately paint a picture of who we strive to become. We would love to know which Vision Statement most resonates with your vision for our school. Please consider clicking on the link below and voting for our next Vision Statement.
A school's Vision Statement is an incredibly powerful statement of self purpose that states what a school wishes to become in a "perfect world." It expresses our goal of what we believe is the pursuit of excellence.

Dear Moore Haven Middle-High School Families, This is your Proud Principal, Dr. Roy. I am writing to inform you of important updates to our school’s procedure regarding the use of electronic devices, which will go into effect starting December 3rd. As part of our continued efforts to maintain a focused and productive learning environment, students will no longer be allowed to use personal electronic devices—this includes cell phones, earbuds, headphones, smartwatches, or any other personal electronics—during school hours, except for school-issued devices for educational purposes, or unless a staff member gives explicit permission to use a personal device for educational purposes. Key Updates: • Effective Date: December 3, 2024 • Hours of Enforcement: From 8:27 AM to 3:10 PM, students will be required to keep their electronic devices away and out of sight during school hours. • Device Violations: If a student is seen using an unauthorized device during the school day, it will be turned into a faculty member and returned at the end of the school day. • Additional Information: Starting January 7, 2025, parents will be required to pick up their child’s cell phone at the school after it has been turned in. This policy is being implemented to help minimize distractions and ensure a more focused and engaging academic environments for all students. We understand that many students use these devices for communication and safety reasons; however, we encourage students to use the designated school-issued devices for educational activities during the day. Students will also be permitted to use the phone in the front office for any necessary communication, and we are happy to relay any messages from parents to students. We kindly ask for your support in reinforcing this procedure with your child, as adherence to this guideline is essential for maintaining a positive learning environment. If you have any questions or concerns about the new procedure, please feel free to contact the school at 863-946-0811 or via email at matthew.roy@glades-schools.org. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, Dr. Matthew Roy Proud Principal Moore Haven Middle-High School
