Particularly for Parents
2017 Graduation All Night Party - Our monthly planning meeting tonight at Vannellis @7pm. Next month it is on Tuesday March 14th. We need your help to plan the upcoming 2017 Senior Class All-Night Party, held immediately following graduation
on June 9. This will be the 36th year that parent volunteers have run the all-night party as an exciting, safe, fun, chemical-free alternative for the graduating seniors. Approximately 2/3 of each graduating class attends. The success of this annual party hinges on a dedicated effort of many, many volunteers and we are in need of more parent volunteers to assist with the planning committee efforts in order to make this year's event a tremendous success. The time to become involved is Now! Help us maintain this tradition for upcoming juniors, sophomores, and younger. Right now we are particularly interested in those that are interested in planning the event. Regardless of your skills and talents, there are areas we can use your help, such as decorating, entertainment and games, food, prizes and gifts, safety/first aid, security, tickets, promotion, budgeting and financial record keeping, and more. We will also need many, many volunteers the night of the party, so if you can't help with planning, please strongly consider volunteering the night of
June 9 - 10. More on that later, but for now, grab a friend and join us Thursday, February 16, @ 7 pm, at Vannellis for the 2017 Senior Class All-Night Party kick-off planning meeting. You may also contact Dave Johnson at
dmj@umn.edu or
651-605-5508. Thanks for you support and we hope to see you on February 16th!!
The FL All Night Party committee is seeking volunteers to help plan the 2017 party!

Forest Lake Area School's American Indian Education Program has begun and is open to Native students interested in learning more about our Native American culture and heritage.
Meetings are Thursdays after school from 2:45-4:30 at the high school in room 544. Students can take the activity bus home. Each week there will be an activity or project focused on the past, present and future of Native American history, culture and current events. If you have any questions please contact us.
School calendar change coming 2017
A calendar shift has been approved by the school board for the 2017-2018 school year. In 2017, the first day of school will be
August 21st and the last day of school in the spring of 2018 will be May 23rd, two weeks earlier than usual. This one-year calendar adjustment will allow extra time in the summer to complete construction projects at many of the district's buildings without disrupting student learning.
The school year calendar returns to normal in 2018-2019, with the first day of school scheduled after labor day and the last day scheduled for early June.
The approved district calendar for 2017-2018 can be found
here and 2018-2019 calendar can be found
here on the district website.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to upgrade learning spaces around the district.
