MHES Parents/Guardians, We conducted a Lockdown Drill this morning. This is only a Drill. We will be practicing the lockdown procedures for our school. As always, safety is a priority and these drills are necessary to keep everyone informed. Thank you for your support.

Parents, we had a lockdown today. All steps were taken and no emergency threat was found.

Moore Haven Elementary wants to honor all Veterans. Veterans, please join us for a nice breakfast and fellowship.

School is canceled for Friday, October 11th. Students will return to school on Wednesday, October 16th.

Glades County Schools & District Office will be closed on Tuesday & Wednesday due to the approaching storm. The safety of our students & staff remains our top priority. Additionally, we want to inform you West Glades School will be opening as a shelter on Tuesday for those who require assistance. Please stay informed and take care, thank you!

Glades County School District is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Milton. Currently, the National Hurricane Center places Southwest Florida inside the cone of uncertainty for a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday morning. Increased rainfall is expected to start Sunday and into Monday.
