New Moore elementary school plans??

[soonervegas]

Let's get back to this grade school. Any ideas on when it would open? I live on SW 104th and Council and that seems closer than my current set up.....Wayland Bonds.

Really? Awesome. Do you know if the fields are getting turfed or not? The football team raised enough money to turf our practice field but it was rejected by the district because both Moore and Westmoore would have to have a turfed practice field also.

I seriously doubt it. That's a whole other SORE issue in this district, especially on the Westmoore side of things. Westmoore groups, booster organizations,etc, down through the years have raised money for and put in facilities at their own expense, only to have the District as a whole then do the same for Moore high. I could name several instances where WHS parents and booster provided for WHS, only to have the district replicate for Moore. Several years ago, Jamie Wright, now in the major leagues for about 16-17 years, and a WHS grad, offered to put down artificial turf on the baseball field at WHS, as a gift to his high school. After lengthy debate, at the admin and board level, the District said he could, only if he would do the same for Moore high. Jamie said, SCREW IT, and it obviously did not happen. So, the District has probably learned from past experience to not get into that. Who really knows with this admin?

its sure to say that the city of moore has definitely grown and is continuing to grow. its rate of growth makes other cities in the metro quite envious.

i can remember just back in 1997 when there was nothing on the west side of I-35 where 19th intersects besides Walmart and Burger King...now its commercially exploded.

I guess ol' stubborn Farmer Jim finally decided to sell his tract of farmland to the city for commercial development.

...by the way..from a distance this looks like a Nike Air Jordan logo

I went to Moore High, and I don't remember it ever being called a fieldhouse.

They are about to start construction on one of the new elementary schools just to the north of 19th on the west side of Bryant.

[kbsooner]

I have seen Boldt construction trailers staged at the corner of 164th and Sante Fe, heard rumor that one was going to be placed in that area...

[teachergirl]

there is going to be one off of bryant (which won't open for another year or so) and the 2nd is supposedly going up near the southlakes part (with all those new homes)

I have seen land breaking off santa fe as well, looks like it could be a school sized lot, but haven't heard that it will be. no other signs around it. I would say that new schools won't open for a bit.

One day driving past, I saw that they finally removed the portable Boldt offices from Southmoore. Then I got to the intersection and saw the offices again on the area where they just broke ground. The first thing that came across my mind was a new elementary school. Last Friday I drove past again and noticed a black solar panel installed. It looked like the same ones that Southmoore has. Definitely a new Moore school.

page 6 of the April 13th school board meeting shows the approval of the two new elementary schools.

Can anyone tell me what they're building off of Bryant Rd. just North of 19th? Is it one of the new elementary schools? They've made alot of progress on the buildings but I haven't noticed any signs up that really identifies what it's going to be. Just a thank you sign for passing the bond, and a sign on the next residential street over that says "no school construction traffic." Just seems like a strange location to me because Apple Creek is only a few streets over.

That is going to be Heritage Trails Elementary.
You can see it on the Moore District Map

[andimthomas]

Hmm...Heritage Trails and Oakridge Elementary. I'm glad they're moving away from adding a cardinal direction to 'Moore'. Thanks for the map, MrZ!

[andimthomas]

I've also heard that the mascot for Oakridge is the SaberCubs....

[MsDarkstar]

Thanks! I had looked on the Moore Public Schools website for announcements but didn't think to look at the district map. So that still leaves me with the question of why so close to Apple Creek?

Several of the elementary schools are pretty darn close. Southgate and Santa Fe are just down the street from one another.

My son will go there next year and he told me the same thing. I have received several letters about the school and if I remember correctly, one of them said the kids picked out the mascot.

[andimthomas]

When I was a sixth grader at Santa Fe Elementary we got to write down suggestions for the new high school. Pretty cool to know I helped pick the name and mascot of my school!

And yeah Santa Fe and Southgate are ridiculously close. Within walking distance.
