Please note each day’s first class begins at 8:30 AM and the last class ends at 3:30 PM. Our first week of school will look like this:
Monday, August 30: a day for conferences between students/families and advisors (invitations to sign up will be sent mid-August); currently these are designed to be in person and/or virtual, depending on the family’s desire, and the conference is the student’s only obligation this day
Tuesday, August 31: a full day on campus (8:30 AM -3:30 PM); will function as an orientation (school, class, advisory meetings, and run through an abbreviated schedule)

Dress Code and Personal Appearance Guidelines: Arrive with Intention
Moravian Academy understands that clothing choice is a personal matter and, thus, creates room for student choice. As a community rooted in the Moravian tradition, we encourage students to choose clothing that is respectful to themselves and others and conducive to learning. In the end, be present, be prepared.
School Calendar
Conferences will take place on Monday, August 30 and the first day of school for students will be Tuesday, August 31.
We will send a sign-up for conferences as we get closer to the back-to-school season.
Faces in New Places
I am excited to share with you that Kathryn Barnhardt will still be in the classroom part-time and will now also serve as our learning specialist. Mrs. Barnhardt will be a dynamic learning support resource to all students and can be found in the Maker Space or Walter 104.
Upcoming Events
The Back-to-School Community Picnic will be held on the Merle-Smith Campus on Sunday, August 29th. Please join us any time between 2:00-5:00 PM for an afternoon of food, fun, and games. Meet new members of our school community and reconnect with friends. No pets, please.
