Winter Weather Reminder
With winter weather upon us, it's a great time for District 191 families to make sure their contact information is up-to-date. Families can access their ParentVUE account to see if their information is accurate. Or, they can call their student's school to update their information.
Remember that on the first "snow day" or when school is canceled unexpectedly, there will be no regular classes for all District 191 students, including students enrolled in One91 Virtual Academy, and programs will be canceled.
After the first snow day, snow days (buildings and programs closed) will be Remote Learning days for students.
To learn about District 191's winter weather guidelines and how we communicate to families when weather affects the school day, visit our Winter Weather Guidelines page! https://www.isd191.org/families/winter-weather

Early Childhood Screening
If you have a 3- or 4-year-old at home, it's time to set up an early childhood screening
Screening is an early look at a child's development. Screening can provide peace of mind that your child is developing normally, and if needed, allows health and developmental concerns to be addressed at least one to two years before a child enters kindergarten.
Early childhood screening checks:
- Fine and gross motor skills
Vision and hearing
Speech and language development
Height and weight
Cognitive and social development
Immunizations
The state of Minnesota requires health and developmental screening for every child before they start kindergarten. Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 offers this service at no cost. Schedule your screening today.
