Rocky Hill’s intermediate school, Moser School, opened in September 2019. It serves the district’s fourth and fifth grade students. The annual enrollment ranges between 400-500 students.

The school offers a full complement of academic and unified arts classes and combines various characteristics of both the elementary model and the middle school model. The offerings range from typical core classes that exist in all elementary schools, such as language arts and math. Students participate in traditional specialty classes including art, music (which incorporates chorus), instructional technology, and physical education and also the added option of registering for band.

Students are assigned to a team of teachers. Each grade level consists of 3 teams. Students will travel with a cohort of classmates throughout the school day. Students remain primarily with one teacher, as they have in previous grade levels. In total, there are nine teachers in 4th grade and eight teachers in 5th grade.  

In addition, Moser is designated as a “STEM (or STEAM) School”. The various components involved in STEM/STEAM instruction will eventually be infused into all of the curricular areas. We  incorporate STEM/STEAM concepts in our instructional technology and science classrooms.  

Instruction and assessment at Moser adheres to the rigorous expectations, guidelines, and time frames specified in district and state curricula and standards.  The school is staffed with educators certified in all core and specialty areas, as well as in areas such as reading and math intervention, special education, and various support services. Paraprofessionals assist the teachers in various capacities.  

Students have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities such as intramurals, Student Council, STEM Club, band  and Unified Sports, among others.  We work closely with our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) to coordinate such activities and raise funds for various school events, supplies, and resources. 

The overarching goal of Moser is to provide our students, staff, and families with an exceptional place to learn, to teach, and to visit.  Blending and unifying the students and families of Stevens and West Hill, creating an atmosphere of inclusion and acceptance for all who enter our building. Providing an enriching academic and social experience for students are the top priorities.  Moser students will leave with fond memories of 4th and 5th grade and be prepared to take on the challenges presented to them at Griswold Middle School during their 6th,7th and 8th grade years.
