History
Walter Moberly Elementary School was first constructed in 1912 at its current site at Ross Street and East 59th Avenue. The school was named for Walter Moberly, an engineer and surveyor.
In 1945, the school burned down. It was rebuilt the following year in 1946. An addition of a second gymnasium, 10 classrooms and offices were added to the west side of Moberly in 1999.
Discipline system
Moberly has a system of discipline. Students are handed out 'blue cards' every time they do something good without being asked. After receiving blue cards they enter them into a raffle, and once every week a bunch of names are called and some get rewarded. However, if students are caught doing something bad, they receive what is called a 'white card'. The consequences of a 'white card' may vary depending on what was done.
