Social Media Highlight:
“When we walk into Courage Kenny we are met with smiles. The staff and clients love seeing the students, giving many ‘hellos’ and waves. Students work on being in a public setting, locker-room skills, sharing space in the pool, and pool safety. They practice walking in the water, floating, using arms and legs to move in the water, putting their face in the water, and having some free time. For a student who has mobility limitations, the warm pool relaxes them and it is a freeing experience for them to move on their own."

2020 Census process begins in March
The U.S. Constitution mandates that everyone in the country be counted every 10 years in order to make decisions about funding and representation. Census Day is right around the corner -- April 1, 2020.
In March, you will receive a postcard from the U.S. Census Bureau telling you to complete the 2020 Census online, over the phone, or via the paper form. If you do not complete it in one of these ways, a Census Bureau Employee (“enumerator”) will visit your residence to obtain the information.
There are 10 questions on the Census form and you must complete the information for everyone living in your household, family or not.
There is no citizenship question and all information you provide is confidential and is not shared with any federal, state or local government agencies.
The information is used to determine:
- How many U.S. Representatives each state gets;
- How federal funds are distributed to support schools, hospitals, infrastructure and other vital programs;
- Where businesses choose to locate based on population.

Students age 16 and over need meningococcal booster
Beginning fall 2020, the meningococcal booster vaccination will be required for students 16 years of age and older. Minnesota law requires this vaccination or written proof of exemption for children to attend school.
Without providing proof of administration, notarized declination, or medical exemption signed by a physician, your student will not receive a class schedule to attend school next fall.
The meningococcal booster is offered at Target, CVS, Walgreens and likely your primary clinic. Insurance coverage will vary by location.
