District 622 received a $673,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce Solar for Schools Program to install solar at Carver, Justice Alan Page, and Richardson Elementary Schools.

We are also working with Xcel Energy’s Solar Reward Program to add solar panels to ten additional Xcel-served buildings throughout the district over the next three years. Castle and Eagle Point are already actively using solar panels for renewable energy.

Revisit your elementary school in your cap and gown on Tuesday, June 3. Gather at the school at 1:45 p.m., ready to go in your cap and gown. The parades will take place at 2 p.m. You will be done by 2:30 p.m., at which time you should plan to leave so the students can get back to class. A large group photo will be taken for use in a video that will be shared after the parades. Have fun!

Former Skyview and Webster students: Find your former teachers by visiting the 622 Staff Directory webpage and attend the parade at that school.

Last Friday, May 23, the Tartan Concert Choir received Best in Show at the annual Trills and Thrills Competition, beating every other choir who attended this 3-day long, international festival with a score of 99/100! One of the adjudicators described Tartan's performance as something "truly special and consistently excellent." The students competed against choirs from all over the upper Midwest and Canada. They celebrated the win with an afternoon at Valley Fair. Go Titans!

Our annual Senior Golden Prom brought together generations for a memorable evening as high school seniors hosted a special night for senior citizens in our community.

This program is paid for by the Minnesota Department of Education After-School Community Learning grant and will be offered at no charge to participants. The main purpose will be to provide students with a wide variety of enrichment clubs, academic support, leadership opportunities and culturally affirming clubs. Students will be able to participate in clubs with focuses on art, science, financial literacy, athletics, cultural appreciation, theater, debate, music and much more. Many clubs will also contain an academic focus that will qualify them as Targeted Services classes and that will allow students to improve vital academic skills while enrolled in the club. Clubs will be run by a combination of licensed teachers, paraprofessionals, outside vendors and student leaders from within ISD 622. We are currently looking to hire high school students who have a passion that they would like to share. Employment begins in September. Call 651-748-7431 for details.

Minnesota has identified cases of measles in children who recently returned to the U.S. after traveling internationally. The decline in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage, coupled with the increase in measles disease nationally and internationally, puts Minnesota at risk of additional measles cases and a measles outbreak.

MDH has information about measles and the MMR vaccine: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/measles/measlesfacts.html

If your child has any symptoms, please contact your medical provider and school nurse.
