Office/Nurse News

If your student becomes ill during the school day, they MUST go to the nurse. Students should not call or text someone to come get them without visiting the nurse first because we do not know who the child is texting or calling. The nurse will call the parent/guardian if the child is ill but we can only call the numbers that the parent has provided.  It is important that parents keep their phone numbers updated! You can call the main office at 651-306-7200 if you need to update your contact information including address, phone number and email.

 

 

Attendance Reminders

If you are picking your student up from school early, please send a note with your student to the office in the morning. It can be a distraction to the class if we have to quickly get a student out of class.  Thank you for your understanding!

 

For all attendance office needs please call 651-306-7878

An Important Reminder for all students & parents…

All students must be accompanied by an adult in order to attend any home athletic events. This includes all middle school events as well as any high school events including the varsity football games. We will turn students away at the door if they are not with an adult. Please know that a parent cannot just drop a student off for the night. They must buy a ticket and be in attendance during the event.
