Parent Teacher Conferences

We have on online system for parents to sign up for conferences with their child's teacher. You can sign up by going to this conference link. The online sign ups will close at 12PM on September 29th. 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.

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. Our 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.

Assistant Principal: We excited to welcome Derek Williamson to our team in the office. Derek will be here most mornings. He is shared with Johnsville Elementary and will go there most afternoons.

• Paper cups for water will not be available in the cafeteria this year. There is a bottle filler available for students to fill their own water bottle from home.
• 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.
