Conferences March 20th, 4-8pm
Parent-Student-Teacher conferences will be held
Tuesday, March 20th, 4-8pm
Thank you for allowing families with interpreters to be next in line so that we may use the interpreters' services more efficiently.
Conferences will be held in the gym, arena-style. These conferences are drop-in format. Teachers will be arranged in groups and you may visit with as many as your time allows. We ask that you attend conferences with your child, if possible. Please be sure to have your child's schedule and know which teachers to see. Also, check Parent Portal and Empower so you know how your child is progressing, in order to have meaningful conversations with the teachers. Time is limited, so please come prepared and be sensitive to the time of others. If you feel you will need a more lenghthy conference with a teacher, feel free to contact that teacher directly and set up a time to meet. We're looking forward to seeing you and your child for conferences.

Set up Your Campus Portal Account Today
As your child progresses to secondary school, it becomes very important that the district have at least one email address on file per household, as the majority of our teacher, school and district communications are sent using this method.
Families can also change their settings in Infinite Campus to begin receiving text messages. Click here for instructions.
It is also recommended that each parent/guardian have a Campus Portal account, allowing you access to your child's schedule, other student information and to update your contact information. To set up an account, please contact the main office at [email protected] or call 952-556-7800.

Family Breaks
Family breaks are times when students and families can count on no new assignments being due after a school break. The next family break will be March 23rd through the 30th for Spring Break. Our hope is that by clearly setting aside these times, families can make plans accordingly and students can enjoy time away from the stressors of schoolwork.
