The 25-26 school year is fast approaching and we're getting ready.
Here are a couple of important dates:
August 25th is schedule pick up and school photo day. We'll be open from 9-11 for incoming freshmen and juniors and from 1-3 for incoming sophomores and seniors. Students will be able to wander the building to find classrooms, check out a Chromebook, and pay fees like ASB and Yearbook. If you or your student is unable to attend on the 25th, schedules will be available on the 26th and 27th as well. A picture makeup day will also be scheduled. If you or your student needs to schedule an appointment with a counselor, please email Dee Bishop (bishopd@msd281.org) and she can help you.
And speaking of August 27th--it's the first day of school!!
More information to come--enjoy the rest of your summer!

Moscow School District Parents and Staff:
Quick note: An initial email sent out had a document entitled “Setting up a Parent Account for PowerSchool” with an INCORRECT link in step one. If you received this document in the mail or via email, the correct link is: https://msd281.powerschool.com/public/
The document on our website has been updated with an accurate link.
Welcome to the 2025-26 school year!! We are so grateful that we are your school of choice! There are so many reasons to be proud of this district and the work that we do! We have amazing and competent staff and are truly the best district in the entire state when you consider all of the opportunities that we offer students, the ability to welcome all students, and our continued high academic performance and success. I am attaching a short flyer to this email that accents some of the great work that we are doing! In addition, here are FOUR bullet points of recent initiatives that I wanted to share with all of you
1. We now have Air Conditioning in all Elementary and Middle School classrooms as well as the Original 1938 High School Building on all 3 floors!!!
2. We have a new website and new and improved communication tools. DO NOT forget to download our District App!!! You don’t want to miss out! iOS Devices: https://aptg.co/hrkJs9 Android Devices: https://aptg.co/GcpxR0
3. We are adopting a new district-wide student registration form process to make your life easier during this busy time. This registration platform will be 100% online and WILL make the registration process much easier and quicker. All of the registration forms will be prepopulated, saving you significant time and effort in the registration process and it can be completed now before things get even busier. In order to go through this process, you will need to have access to your students through PowerSchool. All parents will receive or have received a letter in the mail with the information needed to create this parent account. Please do not throw this letter away as it contains important information to use. This process will look different depending on if you have already created an account or not.
o Many of you in the Middle School and High School may already have created parent accounts, if this is the case you will simply need to log into your existing account and begin completing the required forms.
o Some who have previously created accounts may need to reset their password if they have forgotten or lost it.
o Elementary parents and parents who have never created an account will need to create an account or associate their existing account with their child prior to completing the registration form.
o Once you have an account, you simply need to log in, click on the forms tab, and review and complete the forms in your account. In just a few minutes you will be done for the year! Super Simple!!
4. Our Administrative and Office staff are back in the buildings now and ready to assist you with any questions or needs and our teachers will be back soon! School starts for our students on Wednesday, August 27th!!! Be on the lookout for school specific communication and updates. We are so excited to see all of you soon!!
Have a great last two weeks of summer! And see you soon!!
