Health Office Reminder:

• If a student has a fever of 100 degrees or more, the child must stay home until free of fever without medication for 24 hours.
• If a child is vomiting or having diarrhea, the child may return when no vomiting/diarrhea for 24 hours after last episode.
• If a child has a rash that may be disease related, or has an unknown cause, please check with family physician before sending to school.
• If a child has a persistent cough or thick, continuous nasal drainage that would make it hard to learn, please keep your child home until symptoms improve.

If your child becomes ill or injured while at school, you will be notified. You will be required to pick up your child as soon as possible.

Do you have a few hours a day to be paid to go to your child's school? We are hiring for paraeducators! Click the button below to apply!

In response to legislation passed by Minnesota lawmakers last spring, Fridley Public Schools will make menstrual products available to students in grades 4 through grade 12. The products, limited to menstrual pads, will be available in dispensers at no cost to students and will be located in restrooms regularly used by students in these grades. The legislation requires that these products be available to students by January 1, 2024.

Research has shown that one in four teens missed class due to a lack of menstrual products, and this legislation is aimed at removing the barrier of limited access to menstrual products for students. Staff have installed product dispensers and waste receptacles. If you have any questions about the availability of these products, please contact your school's health office or building principal.

Legislative Changes to Exclusionary Discipline Practices

We want to provide families with an overview of recent changes made by the Minnesota Legislature about student discipline and “exclusionary practices,” which are disciplinary actions that remove or exclude a student from their usual educational setting.

Most notably, state law prohibits (in most instances) the suspension of students in pre-K through third grade. There are some exceptions noted in the law. There are also new limitations on impacting a student’s participation in recess as a consequence of misbehavior, as recess is a necessary time for children to move, socialize and get ready for learning. When appropriate, state law allows schools to provide alternative recess at the student's choice.

We will not use recess detention unless (1) a student causes or is likely to cause serious physical harm to other students or staff, (2) a student's parent or guardian specifically consents to the use of recess detention, or (3) a student's IEP team determines that withholding recess is appropriate based on the individualized needs of the student. We will not withhold recess from a student based on incomplete schoolwork, and we will notify parents/guardians within 24 hours if recess detention occurs.

If you have questions about Fridley Public Schools disciplinary procedures, or about the new legislation, please contact the director of special services, Laura Seifert-Herting, at laura.seifert@fridley.k12.mn.us or 763-502-5024.

Opting Your Student out of School Photographs and "Directory Information"

Under state law, “directory information” may be released to the public without permission of the student, parent or guardian. Directory information includes a student’s name, school of attendance or grade level, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, diploma and awards received, photograph, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended. It also includes the name of the student’s designated guardian.

Directory information does not include a student’s home address, telephone number, email address or other personal contact information, or data that reference religion, race, color, social position or nationality.

If a student or parent/guardian does not want some or all of this information to be made public, they must complete Form 515F (Directory Information Opt-Out Form) and submit the form to their child’s school each school year. Fridley Public Schools designates certain records as directory information to be used only for school or district-approved programs, publications, yearbooks, cablecasts, webcasts, athletic teams, clubs, activities and other public presentations. Those records include but are not limited to student: photographs, videos and other visual representations.

Hello Families-

Did you know that students can receive 1 free breakfast and lunch each day at school? Students are encouraged to grab a breakfast before school and a hot breakfast if offered 2-3 times per week. Students can pick from a variety of daily options, but they must take a reimbursable meal which includes a ½ cup fruit. At lunch time students must take a minimum of the entree and a ½ cup fruit or vegetables. Students can take more fruits and vegetables and 1 milk with their lunch meal. We continue to offer a hot and cold daily entree item. Please check out the monthly menus to see what we are cooking in the kitchen. Nutritional Services continues to purchase as much food locally and provide a variety of school prepared entrees and convenience items. Encourage your student to try a new food.

Ala Carte in available most days during lunch and students must have money in their lunch account and their bar code to purchase items. They are limited to 1 beverage and 1 snack item per day.

Fridley Public Schools uses a variety of digital tools to support student learning. Depending upon the particular educational technology being used, our district may need to collect different types of student data, which is then shared with educational technology vendors through their online sites, services, and/or applications.

Such vendors may only disclose student data for K-12 school purposes and other limited purposes permitted under the law.

This act also requires districts to provide timely notice of the tool used, data collected, and contact information.

Download a spreadsheet that catalogs the full library of evaluated resources. If you have any questions or concerns about any digital resources used by your child, please contact your child’s teacher.

Emergency Sheets need to be updated and signed yearly. It is very important that we have the most current contact numbers in case of an emergency or illness. These forms were given out at open house. If you missed open house, they will be coming home with your student. Please sign and return.

It is also important that we are told about any health conditions your child might have. This information is listed on the emergency sheet as well. If anything has changed over the summer, please call the Health Office about this.

Attention parents of 7th graders

There are additional immunizations that are required for 7th grade; Tdap and Menningococcal. These are required BEFORE starting school or a conscientious objection form must by notarized and given to the health office BEFORE school starts. Notification letters were mailed to parents in May. The immunization form is on the District Web Page under Health Services. Please make an appointment with your clinic to get these immunizations completed as soon as possible.

Per our District Policy, all immunizations must be current in order to start school. Please help in making it a great start for your child's school year by getting this done.

Minnesota State Law requires all students enrolling in school to be immunized against certain diseases or file a legal medical or conscientious exemption. If these are not obtained, your child will not be able to start school in the fall. The MN Department of Health has an immunization form you may use to provide documentation of your child's immunizations. It has been attached to this message.

Check parent portal for immunizations your child may be missing, https://www.fridleyschools.org/

Here is a resource for other options for low cost vaccinations through the Anoka County Immunization Clinic:

https://www.anokacountymn.gov/2285/Immunizations

This year, the transportation department will not require previously enrolled families to fill out our Transportation Request Form unless they fall under one of these four categories:

• They are new to the district
• Their address has changed since the last day of school (June 9th, 2023)
  
• They require a different drop off or pick up location including a daycare. If your student needs transportation from a daycare, please fill out the daycare information on the form
• They are entering Fridley Preschool

If any of these conditions apply to your student(s), please make sure to fill out the form so that we may ensure you get transportation right away in the fall. Please only fill out one form per student.

Completion of Application for Educational Benefits

The Application for Educational Benefits still needs to be completed even with the Minnesota Free School Meals Program. The school district will be mailing households a post card in mid-August encouraging families to complete the application. See the link below for the application or it can be completed online at https://fridleymn.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/parents/fridley.jsp (you will need your Parent Portal username and password). If you do not have a Parent Portal username and password, please contact Kathy Backstrom at 763-502-5021 or your School Main Office. An Application for Educational Benefits must be completed every year. If your family receives SNAP benefits or if you received Direct Certification letter from the district, you do not need to complete an application. If your income has changed due to job loss or change, please complete an application. These applications also help the district receive additional funding for support staff and teachers. As a household, you may also be eligible for discounted internet services, reduced activity or athletic fees including Park and Rec and reduced metro transit fares. When completing the application, please include all people living in the household including infants or young children, college students, and older adults who may be living with you.

Minnesota Free School Meals Program

The Minnesota Free School Meals Program provides state reimbursement to schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Students can have one reimbursable breakfast and one reimbursable lunch at no cost at school.

At breakfast, the student must choose at least 3 items to be counted as a reimbursable meal. The student must choose a ½ cup fruit as part of their breakfast.

At lunch, the student must choose at least 3 components to be counted as a reimbursable meal. The student must choose a ½ cup serving of fruit or vegetable as part of their lunch.

We offer a choice of two entrée items and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Students must take a least a ½ cup fruit or vegetable along with two other meal components for a reimbursable meal. We continue to expand our main entrée items to reflect our culturally diverse district.

Use of Bar Codes at Breakfast and Lunch

The district will be using bar codes to record student purchases at the Middle and High Schools. Students will need to bring their paper bar code, student id card or the bar code found on the Student Campus Ap. A photo of the bar code also works at the cashier station. When students have their bar codes the serving lines move faster and you will be able to purchase ALA Carte if there is money in your account.

Students purchasing just milk will be charged $0.55. Students who want to purchase a second breakfast for $2.50, additional entrée for $2.50 or Ala Carte must have money in their lunch account.
