The district is following guidelines in the state’s recently updated Minnesota Safe Learning Plan and will implement a ‘rolling start’ approach to returning our youngest students to school. This phased in approach will begin at the start of Semester 2 on February 1.

February 1:

• Kindergarten and Grade 1 students return to school in person four days a week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. All students will participate in distance learning on Wednesday.

• Students in kindergarten and Grade 1 who chose to be in full distance learning from the beginning of the school year will remain in distance learning.

• Grades 2-4 students will remain in distance learning through Friday, February 12.

February 15:

• Presidents’ Day – NO SCHOOL for all students and staff

February 16:

• Kindergarten – Grade 4 students return to learning at school in person five days a week.

• Kindergarten and Grade 4 who chose to be in full distance learning from the beginning of the school year will remain in distance learning.

Guidelines to help maintain safety of students and staff:

The district will continue to monitor COVID-19 cases in Anoka County and the City of Fridley. As students and staff return to school in-person, we will follow recommended guidelines to help keep students and staff safe including:

1. Face mask requirements for staff and students.
2. Continued cleaning and sanitizing protocols.
3. Bi-weekly access to COVID-19 saliva test for staff.

As you prepare for the return to school, take a look at the school supply list below and send supplies back to school with your scholar that they have been working with at home.

Thank you!

Mr. Chris, Mr. CJ, Ms. Sue and Mr. Ryan helped their scholars learn to work together while having fun as they built a beautiful snowman together!

Be safe, be responsible and be kind!
