Facing a critical crossroads for its future, the Robbinsdale Area Schools Board of Education has approved three bond referendum questions to be placed before voters on the Nov. 3, 2026, ballot.

Robbinsdale Area Schools has launched the Annual Update for the 2026-27 school year, available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. The Annual Update allows families to review and update important student information—including transportation preferences, parent/guardian contact information, emergency contacts, annual opt-outs, and more—all in one place.

As Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) continues its Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 planning process, the School Board met June 15, 2026 (watch the meeting | see the agenda) to provide direction on the next phase of long-range facilities planning and a potential building bond referendum.
