Spring Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, March 4th, and March 18th. Times may vary, but most teachers will be available from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on both nights. Since time is limited, we ask that you only sign up for one-time slot per teacher on either March 4th or March 18th.

Conferences are scheduled using ParentVUE. Please note that you need a ParentVUE account to schedule the meetings. If you need support setting up your ParentVUE account, please call the front office at 651-621-6400. You can click here for step-by-step instructions for scheduling meetings with your child's teachers.

Students are encouraged to attend these conferences.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you!

The HERD is organizing a Baby Drive from March 3 to 14 to support the nonprofit company Katelyn's Kloset. Similar to the fall food drive, the items on the Most Wanted posters hanging around the school and on the doors leaving school are worth extra, and will earn you a ticket to try and win some yummy treats! All donated items must be brand new; we cannot accept used items.

At the end of the drive on Friday, March 14, HERD will draw one winner from each box, and that person will win the treats inside. Talk to your family, set a reminder, and bring in your donations! Thank you for helping us give back to our community!

Please note that all shows are sold out. If you have tickets for a show, please make sure you attend the show you bought the ticket for. Tickets are not interchangeable. Thank you!

Breakfast is the BEST! Why? Because Breakfast Encourages Students to Thrive! School breakfast helps ensure students are ready to learn.

Each student is offered one breakfast meal at no cost at the start of each school day. Check out your school's menu online.
