Summer Program Feedback Needed
We are looking for feedback from 1st-5th grade families. If you joined us at Otterpalooza on May 31, 2024 you received a Scholastic Summer Express book for you and your child to use to prepare for this upcoming year. (If you didn't attend Otterpalooza your child's teacher from last year also passed out Scholastic Summer Express books.) We would love to hear your feedback on how helpful or unhelpful the Summer Scholastic book was. Please click this link to provide feedback for our Building Title team. Thank you.

Cell Phones & Smart Watches Reminder
It is the school's expectation that cell phones remain in backpacks throughout the day, including while on the bus. If a student brings a device to school and it becomes a distraction to their learning or the learning of others or if it impacts the privacy or security of others then the following will occur:
- a parent/guardian will be notified
- the device may be held in the main office until the end of the day
If you need to communicate with your child during the school day you should contact the main office 763.506.3500.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Arrival
Please note there are no staff members to supervise children prior to 8:45 am. Therefore, students should NOT arrive at school or be dropped off at school prior to this time. Walkers, bikers and car riders can arrive between 8:45-9:00. Students may go directly to the cafe if they want breakfast, otherwise they should go directly to their classroom.
Dissmissal
Dismissal begins at 3:30 and can take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Walkers: Students will be dismissed at 3:30 and may exit the door closest to their route home.
Bus riders: Students will be walked to their bus by a patrol and/or staff member.
Car riders: Drivers should stay in the car. Students will be escorted to door 4 by a staff member or patrol. They will stand on the yellow line in grade level order and wait for their car to pull forward in line.
Adventures Plus: Staff or patrols will escort students to A+ at the end of the day.
