The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that the Federal Government shutdown will affect SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. We know this may create concern for some in our community, and we want to share resources that can help.

Robbinsdale Area Schools administration shared updated recommendations for building closures and facility repurposing at the Nov. 3 Board of Education meeting, marking another step forward in Phase I of Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 and the district’s plan to address its statutory operating debt (SOD).

Robbinsdale Area Schools is excited to welcome families to our Kindergarten Information Fair on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, from 10 a.m. to noon at FAIR School Crystal (3915 Adair Ave. N., Crystal).

In grades K-8, we expect personal devices to be put “away for the day.” This includes all electronic communication devices such as smart watches, pens, glasses, Bluetooth headphones/earbuds, etc. If brought to school, these devices must be stored in a backpack or checked in to a teacher and remain out of sight and not in use during the school day. Careful consideration was given to the following research. 

Welcome Music Teacher Mrs. Griebenow

Robbinsdale Area Schools’ Board of Education is seeking interested district residents to apply for appointment to complete the remainder of a four year term of a board member who resigned.

On Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2025, at 1 p.m., Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) sent winter weather test messages to families and staff. Did you receive them?

We need your help! Even though school breakfasts and lunches are free for all students in Minnesota, applying for educational benefits is still crucial for all our SEA families and we encourage all families to complete an application for Educational Benefits.

Welcome back to SEA our 3rd Grade Teacher Mr. Johnson

Kindergarten is a big adventure, and Robbinsdale Area Schools offers unique magnet options designed to inspire curiosity and creativity.

District administration presented the first round of facility options to the Board of Education Oct. 20 as part of the ongoing Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 process and the district’s statutory operating debt (SOD) plan to restore long-term financial stability.

Robbinsdale Area Schools is continuing to work on the creation of a Statutory Operating Debt Plan, while focusing on what is best for students and balancing short-term and long-term goals.

Please refrain from last-minute pickups from the office during dismissal between 3:10 and 3:40 p.m. We have a very short window of time to move 475 students and load 22 buses safely and efficiently.

If your end-of-the-day plans change, please call the office or email nicole_lee@rdale.org before 1:00 p.m. so we can ensure your child is ready for dismissal. It can be very difficult to locate or bring students to the office right at the end of the school day.  Thank you for your help in keeping our dismissal process smooth and safe for everyone!

Welcome our new art teacher this year at SEA Ms. Thibodeau

With the Vision 2030 Team’s recommendations complete, Rdale is entering the implementation phase: a multi-year, community-informed process that will stabilize finances, align programs and facilities, and fulfill the district’s long-term vision by 2030.
