Resources
Moore Elementary is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. High standards for quality education are assured by membership in NCA. This accreditation is based on the school’s commitment to excellence and quality programs.
Marshall T. Moore Elementary opened in the fall of 2000. It was named for one of the district's first Board members who were instrumental in consolidating four small, rural districts into what is now Union. The school was built on land which was originally part of the Moore farm.
Multiage Program
This is a combination class of first and second grade students. The students remain with the same teacher for two years. Students receive instruction based on their personal academic level regardless of age or grade. The teacher builds a strong sense of community among the students, while allowing the second year students to be leaders to the younger students. We currently offer four multiage classrooms.
First/Second Grade Looping
This same-grade configuration allows for students to remain with the teacher for both their first and second grade years. This continuity allows for continued academic progress and a greater connection between the student, classmates, and families. We currently offer two first grade and two second grade looping classrooms.
Moore Milers
This very popular group is an after-school program which meets once a week. With guidance and supervision, the students are challenged to run/walk to meet their individual goals. Students are encouraged to participate in weekend runs. Parents are welcome to participate. Pre-K and kindergarten students must be in attendance with a parent.
Choir
This exemplary music program, complete with movement, song, and instruments, is offered to our fourth and fifth grade students. Students perform for a wide variety of events. Students meet weekly before or after school.
Art Enrichment
During this after-school program students will create a work of art suitable for framing or display. Several elements of art are introduced and taught during this program. This is a special program the students look forward to each year.
Student Council
Open to grades third through fifth. Students meet before school and share information with their classmates. The student council plans school, service and community projects.
Safety Patrol
Fifth graders assist parents, teachers, and students before and after school at our entrance, exit and hallways. These student leaders are recommended to these positions by the classroom teachers. A new group is selected for first and second semester.
Studio
Students may apply to be a part of our news studio and crew, KMOR. Students are responsible for set-up, direction and delivery of our live broadcast each morning.
Moore offers an English Language Learner curriculum to those students for whom English is not a primary language. Students participate in small group instruction that focuses on the English language. 
Character Counts is a district-wide program from kindergarten through high school for students and staff. It gives us a common language and encourages outstanding character traits. A new character trait is introduced each month. The six traits that are emphasized are Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Trustworthiness, Fairness and Citizenship.

Union Student Safety HelpLine
A safe and secure school environment is essential to the learning process. An important ingredient in achieving safe and secure schools remains alert eyes and ears. Safety is achieved when an atmosphere exists in which students are comfortable talking with adults about their concerns.
One such tool available for students is the Union Student Safety Help Line that is accessible twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week to anyone who wants to report a concern. The caller may leave a message so his or her call can be returned, or they may choose not to be contacted. You can also call COPES if this is a mental health emergency.
