7-8:40 am: YMCA Fun Company is available to all families. Cost information is available on their website. Students can arrive at school at 7 am only if registered with the YMCA Fun Company. However, once registered, and if they prefer, they may go to the early morning study hall at 7:30 am.
7:30 – 8:40 am: Early Morning Study Hall – This is a PTO funded offering for students to come to school and work on homework and/or reading before the school day begins. Details and registration information for the early morning study hall will be emailed to families who are enrolled at JT Moore in late summer by Dr. Hughes. On the first day, Parents will need to escort their children to the main entrance to register them and complete an agreement letter. Keep in mind, sitting and talking, or sitting quietly but unproductively, will result in a student being banned from study hall.
Unless your child is signed up for early morning study hall or enrolled in YMCA Fun Company, your child cannot be on the JT Moore campus before 8:40 a.m.
Traffic flow for drop off: Cars will enter the parking lot from the west end on the lot, closest to Green Hills park, and turn right into the second entrance of the parking lot, exiting onto Lone Oak close to the intersection with Granny White Pike. The left lane is for dropping off and leaving immediately. Cars should not stop in the left lane. The right lane, closest to the building, is for cars who have students in their cars waiting until 8:40 when students may enter the building.
Traffic flow for pick up has changed this year due to increased car riders: Cars will enter the parking lot from the west end on the lot, closest to Green Hills park. Stay in the LEFT lane and drive back towards the Greenhouse/Tennis courts. Loop around the back lot and follow in the lane closest to school. Turn left into the parking entrance into 2 lanes. Wait there until your child has entered your car.
No pickup or drop off occurs within the semi-circle off Granny White – that loop is for buses only. Exceptions to pick up in this location are limited to early dismissal for sports games. Coaches will communicate when this pick up location is planned.
Please do not park down the street, on a side street, behind the school, etc., in order to avoid the car line. This creates a safety hazard for our children.
Cell phone use in the car line is strictly prohibited by law.
Students at JT Moore are given latitude in choosing what to wear to school each day. The updated dress code policy is posted here.
At J. T. Moore Middle School, we prioritize the safety, focus, and well-being of our students. We believe that minimizing distractions and fostering a conducive learning environment is crucial for their academic success.
There are more than 80 landlines in the school and parents needing to get in touch with their children can call the front office at 615-298-8095 to do so.
