Welcome to Robert Russa Moton Elementary School!

R. R. Moton has been a proud member of the Miami-Dade County Public School system for over 46 years and a Performing Arts Magnet School since 1983. Though completely destroyed in 1992 by hurricane Andrew, R.R. Moton was reconstructed and reopened its State of the Art facility in 1997 as a Pre-K through 5 grade school.

In addition to our fine academic history, a Creative Arts Program is offered to first and second grade students. Selected third, fourth and fifth grade students participate in our Expressive Arts Program selecting either Drama, Dance, Music, or Art. Students accepted from designated target schools are provided transportation by Dade County Public School bus. A Full/Student Services Facility is on campus . A Gifted Program, Exceptional Student Program, Academic Excellence Program, Artist-In-Residence Program, and Youth Entrepreneur Program are some of the additional offerings at R.R. Moton Elementary.

Our students have many opportunities to participate in Teaching Enrichment Activities to Minorities, Future Teachers of America, Science Fairs, Math Bowl, School News Team, Young Authors and Storytellers, multicultural Fairs, and exciting Field Trips. One of our hallmarks is strong parent and community involvement.

KNOW YOUR LEGISLATORS
As we start the 2009-2010 school year, state funding for education has become even more critical. As Teachers, Staff, Students, and Parents, we are the "Stakeholders" of that which will become the future. We can not do this without the proper support from our elected officials. Please take the time to make them aware of your concerns.
