Repeat Announcements:

Becoming Organizers, Becoming Advocates (BOBA), is an Asian Minnesotan youth leadership and organizing program co-created with young people. BOBA offers a safe and brave space for Asian Minnesotan youth to come together to discover how their identity and leadership make them a powerful force for change. Through BOBA, young leaders explore topics and issues that impact them and their communities, learn advocacy and organizing skills, and create solutions that they can take action on to create change. We are recruiting youth to join us for our 2021-2022 cohort and would like to share this opportunity with you. For more information, see your counselor.

 

Supply Shortages Cause Frequent Menu Changes

Just like cafeterias and restaurants across the country, ISD 199 Food Service is experiencing many challenges receiving the products staff have ordered due to manufacturer shortages and delivery delays. These shortages and delays are affecting ingredients, menu items, and serving supplies, such as meal trays.

 

Food service staff will update their online menus as quickly as possible when changes need to be made. However, last minute changes and product substitutions may occur without notice due to shortages and the number of students eating meals that day. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we do our best to meet the needs of all students.

 

La escasez de suministros causa cambios frecuentes en el menú

Al igual que las cafeterías y restaurantes en todo el país, ISD 199 Food Service está experimentando muchos desafíos para recibir los productos que el personal ha pedido debido a la escasez de fabricantes y retrasos en las entregas. Esta escasez y demoras están afectando los ingredientes, los elementos del menú y los suministros para servir, como las bandejas de comida.

 

El personal del servicio de alimentos actualizará sus menús en línea lo más rápido posible cuando sea necesario realizar cambios. Sin embargo, pueden ocurrir cambios de última hora y sustituciones de productos sin previo aviso debido a la escasez y la cantidad de estudiantes que comen ese día. Gracias por su paciencia y comprensión mientras hacemos todo lo posible para satisfacer las necesidades de todos los estudiantes.

In order to get your son/daughter registered for sports you need to follow the link below to our new registration site; SmartSchool K12. When you arrive at the home site of the user portal, you will see guides available that will walk you through the registration process and setting up your parent portal, step by step.

When you are connecting your student to your parent account, you will need the STUDENT ID and their DATE OF BIRTH. You WILL NOT use a family key. 

Once you are registered and you have added your student to your account, please make sure to go into your settings and add a "Funding Source". This will allow you to complete your purchases upon checkout. Do not auto-fill this section as it will not work due to security reasons.

Earlier this year we had a lot of issues with different browsers when families were registering. Please attempt to use FireFox, as it is the most successful.
