We need students and their families to work together to ensure:

• The student brings their device to school each day, fully charged.

• The device is stored and charged in a secure location.

• The student uses the case provided to reduce the risk of damage to the device.

• They share any damage or problems with the device with the school media center as soon as possible.

Parent Portal accounts were created for most families when your student(s) enrolled in Robbinsdale Area Schools. For you to access these tools, the school district needs a current email address on file.

Routes are attached below. Please save these and have them available to you if your student needs to stay after school for any reason to know what activity bus they will need to ride to get home.

We would like to remind all students and parents of our school’s strict policy regarding vaping. Vaping is not permitted on school property, including all buildings, outdoor areas, and school-related events. Students are not allowed to possess vape devices or any related paraphernalia while at school.

To maintain a safe and healthy environment, students should never be in a restroom stall with more than one person at a time. Violation of this rule may result in a search. Additionally, students should only be in enclosed stairwells during emergency situations. Any student found in an unauthorized area, such as these stairwells, will also be subject to search.

Parents, we encourage you to speak with your children about the risks associated with vaping. Vaping can have serious health consequences, particularly for young people. Numerous resources are available to help you have these important conversations, including the CDC’s Parent Tip Sheet on vaping and the Surgeon General’s Advisory on E-cigarette Use Among Youth. Please take the time to educate yourselves and your children to ensure their safety and well-being.

Together, we can work to keep our school a safe and healthy environment for everyone.
