Welcome Moreland Community,

I am incredibly excited to welcome you to Moreland Middle School. Whether you are returning to us or joining our family for the very first time, we are thrilled to embark on this school year together.

Our Vision

"At Moreland Middle School, we cultivate a safe, supportive community where every student belongs."

At Moreland Middle School, our commitment is to cultivate a safe, supportive community where every student belongs. We believe that every student brings unique strengths, and we are dedicated to helping them find success both academically and socially as they prepare for their future collegiate and career pathways.

Our wonderfully diverse community is the heart of what makes Moreland Middle special. We deeply value, respect, and celebrate the many cultures, backgrounds, identities, and perspectives that enrich our school. Together, we work collectively to foster a deep sense of belonging and build strong, meaningful relationships among our students, staff, families, and community partners. We do this through a foundation of mutual respect, trust, and our shared values of P.R.I.D.E.

• Patient – We extend grace and understanding to one another as we grow.
• Resourceful – We work together to find creative solutions and support every learner.
• Inclusive – We ensure every voice is heard, valued, and included.
• Dependable – We show up for each other and build a community of trust.
• Empowered – We inspire our students to take ownership of their learning and their future.

Our Instructional Commitment

As mentioned, our core commitment at Moreland Middle is to prepare every student academically and socially for future collegiate and career opportunities. While educational standards outline what students need to know, we utilize the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) framework to guide how we engage students deeply and rigorously in their learning.

We are fully committed to nurturing a growth mindset in every child. Our goal is to help students develop their own individual determination, while ensuring they have robust, accessible support systems whenever they face academic, social, or emotional challenges. We believe that with the right tools and a supportive community, every student can thrive and find success.

Looking Ahead

Middle school is a time of incredible growth, discovery, and transformation. Please know that our doors, our hearts, and our minds are always open to you. We view education as a true partnership, and we look forward to collaborating with you to ensure your child thrives.

Thank you for trusting us with your children. Let’s make this an amazing school year!

Warm regards,

Larry Lopez
Principal
