Mississippi parent-teacher conferences are a great way to build a connection between home and school. Please sign up for a conference with your child's teacher at MyConferenceTime.Com/Mississipi. If you have questions, please email your child's teacher or call the office at 763-506-3500.

All Kindergarten through 5th grade students enrolled in Anoka-Hennepin elementary schools are eligible to enter the Kindness Poster Contest. View this video for instructions!

• Posters must include the contest theme: Kindness Takes All of Us (These words must be on the poster)

• Posters must be on 11” X 17” paper (the school can provide this paper)

• Crayons, felt tip pens, markers, paint, pen and ink, pencil, etc. may be used to create the poster.

• Do not use wood, plastic, glass, metal, string, fabric, felt, collage materials, stencils, internet downloads, or computer art.

• Posters cannot include copyrighted characters from comics, cartoons, television programs, movies, newspapers, magazines, etc.

• Student name, grade, and school must be on the back of the poster.

• Each school will select one winning poster for each grade level, K-5. The six winning posters will advance to the district level contest.

• Posters are due back to the Mississippi by October 27th

• Judges will look for the relationship of the poster to the theme, originality of the poster, quality of artwork, visual impact, and suitability of the poster for viewing.

• One winning poster will be selected from each grade level K-5. District winners will be recognized at a future School Board meeting and receive a Kindle from Horace Mann.

As the district reviews and adopts new course materials, it involves staff, students, parents, and the community in the process. This school year, the district will be in its ninth-year of using ‘Reading Wonders,’ the English Language Arts (ELA) materials used in district elementary schools, while it begins piloting potential and studying new ELA curriculum materials for the future.
