January Menu's

If you have questions about Breakfast or Lunch, please contact Diana Rodgers at drodgers@isd500.k12.mn.us

Visitors are welcome to join for lunch. Please let the office and teachers know that morning so we can give our cooks an accurate count.

Breakfast and Lunch are free for the 24-25' school year.

We still encourage all families to fill out a Free/Reduced application that can be picked up in the office. This helps with funding for our school

As the temperatures continue to drop, please ensure your student(s) are dressed appropriately (or have the appropriate clothing available) for recess. This includes winter jacket, gloves, hat, boots and snow pants.

Drop-Off:

Morning drop-off (7:45-8:15) can be done at the Main Entrance/Office or the Elementary wing on the East side of the building only.

We are looking at the safety of the students and all the traffic that there is at that time.

If you are dropping off your student after 8:15 or before 3:00, please do so at the Main Entrance, NOT the Elementary Doors. The office needs to make sure that the kids are getting checked in/out accordingly.

Pick-Up:

After school pick-up (after 3:00) can be done at the Office or classroom. If you are picking up on the East side by the Elementary wing, please come into the building and pick your child up in their classrooms. If you are picking up your student before 3:00, please do so at the Main Entrance, NOT the Elementary Doors. The office needs to make sure that the kids are getting checked in/out accordingly.

Student Absences

If your child has to be gone from school instruction for any reason, please call the attendance line at 507-582-3568 option #1, or by email mviker@isd500.k12.mn.us

Please leave a detailed message as to why they are gone (ill and symptoms, appointment, out of town....). Nurse Amanda will follow up if need be. Thank you for your cooperation.

Automated Attendance System

When students are marked absent, for an "Unknown" reason, for 1 or more classes for the current day.

Parents/Guardians are now being notified by an automated phone call/email around 4pm, regarding the "Unknown" attendance of their child(ren) for that day. If an oversight was made regarding their absence, please call the attendance line to inform the office and adjustments will be made.
