Middle School Summer School invitations have been mailed! Students received a Summer Academy invitation for academic intervention in the areas of math, reading, and/or science.  Our Middle School Summer Academy will run from June 19-July 18.  Summer Academy will be in session from 7:20am-11:40am Mondays-Thursdays.  Free busing will be available to all students who live within our district boundaries. Breakfast and lunch will be available and free to ALL students.  Registration forms are due by May 15th to ensure optimal bus routes and stops.  Contact Jessica Hallin at (651) 306-7298 with questions about Middle School Summer Academy.

 

 

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.

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.
