With monkeypox in the news, we know students and families may be concerned about the national outbreak and how it could affect our schools. 

Students who attend public schools in Minnesota are required by state law to have specific immunizations (or written proof of exemption) before they can attend school

Every year we ask all families to complete an Educational Benefits application. This is a big request, and we ask you to take a few moments to apply right now.

Families whose students ride the bus to school should have received a postcard with transportation information in the mail. If you didn’t get a postcard, bus information can also be found in the Parent Portal.

Families and staff can continue to wear face coverings and are encouraged to do so if they believe it is best for them.
