Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year!

School News!

Dismissal Safety

We need your help to keep everyone safe! Please have a consistent routine and try to not change it, as much as possible. If the pick up for your child does need to change, please let us know in the school office, as early as possible. You can call our office at 763-506-2900 to let us know. The deadline for changes is 2:45PM each day.

Our parking lot gets very busy at dismissal. Please drive carefully. Please get into the double lane within the parent pick up lane where it is possible and please take turns. Please don't back up traffic on 113th Ave. It can be safest to use Little League Park to turn around, if you need to turn in during busy times.

Thank you for being patient and keeping everyone safe!

Parent Teacher Conferences

We have an online system for parents to sign up for conferences with their child's teacher. You may sign up by going to this conference link. The online sign ups will close at 12PM on September 30th. If you need to sign up after the online system has closed you may email your child's teacher directly or call our office at 763-506-2900.

School Hours: Students may enter the building starting at 8:35am. If your child is eating breakfast at school, they may enter the building starting at 8:30am. We dismiss at 3:20PM. We do begin getting students in the youngest grades out to dismissal areas slightly before 3:20PM.

Parent Drop off/Pick up

Here is a link to a simple map.

Morning:

The bus lane in front of the school has signs letting everyone know when that lane is only for buses. The safest way to drop your child off in the morning is in the back of the school at door #4. Please follow the signs and arrows. Supervision for students at Door #4 begins at 8:30AM.

Afternoon:

"Parent Pick Up" is at door #4 and is for car pick up only. "Crosswalk" is our parent/walker meeting area and is for parents desiring to meet their child on foot.

Changes: If you have a last minute change to how your child will be going home, please call our office at 763-506-2900. Please do so before 2:45pm.

School Lunch: Students may receive one breakfast and one lunch daily at no cost during the 24-25 school year. However, the cost of a la carte items, such as milk (purchased separately from a meal), water bottle purchased separately, or extra meal items (such as Mega Bites) will not be covered. Students will need to have funds in their meal accounts to purchase any additional items.

There is a bottle filler available for students to fill their own water bottle from home within the cafe.
If your family needs access to any other educational benefits available to your student, please visit ahschools.us/freereduced to complete an application.
You can find more information about child nutrition on the district website.

We'd love your feedback about the workbooks your child brought home this past summer. Here is a link to a short feedback form. Your feedback will help us decide if something like this would be useful next summer.
