Dear Little Canada Families,

Parent/Teacher Conferences started this week! If you have not been able to register for conferences, please use this link to do so: https://www.myconferencetime.com/littlecanada2324/

Here are some of the things you can expect at conferences:

• Learn about Reading and Math Screening Data
• Student's Class Participation
• Address Parent Concerns/Questions
• Short Term Goals between now and the next conference

Starting Monday, October 21, 2024, Roseville Area Schools will enforce the Minnesota immunization law. This is crucial for maintaining healthy and safe school communities. Here's what you need to know:

• Students must meet one of the following criteria to continue attending school:
• Have received all required immunizations
• Have a scheduled immunization appointment
• Have submitted a notarized exemption form

• Starting October 21, 2024:
• Students who do not meet the immunization requirements will be instructed to stay home until the requirements are met.
• These absences will be marked as unexcused.

• Why this matters:
• This policy helps protect our most vulnerable students, who are unable to receive vaccines.
• It minimizes the time students miss due to disease outbreaks, as those not immunized may be required to stay home per the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

If your student is missing any immunizations, you will receive a notice from the school's health office. Please respond promptly to ensure your student can remain in school.

For questions or concerns, contact your school’s health office 651-724-6447
