ISD 622's third annual Multicultural Fair is almost here! Join us for a night of food, performances and fun!

Students at Justice Alan Page will be performing Finding Nemo Jr. next Tuesday and Thursday, 5/20 and 5/22 at 6:30 p.m.

District 622 received a $673,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce Solar for Schools Program to install solar at Carver, Justice Alan Page, and Richardson Elementary Schools.

We are also working with Xcel Energy’s Solar Reward Program to add solar panels to ten additional Xcel-served buildings throughout the district over the next three years. Castle and Eagle Point are already actively using solar panels for renewable energy.

Seniors! Make sure to check out information about the North and Tartan senior parties. Click here to reserve your spot at North, and here for Tartan.

Revisit your elementary school in your cap and gown on Tuesday, June 3. Gather at the school at 1:45 p.m., ready to go in your cap and gown. The parades will take place at 2 p.m. You will be done by 2:30 p.m., at which time you should plan to leave so the students can get back to class. A large group photo will be taken for use in a video that will be shared after the parades. Have fun!

This program is paid for by the Minnesota Department of Education After-School Community Learning grant and will be offered at no charge to participants. The main purpose will be to provide students with a wide variety of enrichment clubs, academic support, leadership opportunities and culturally affirming clubs. Students will be able to participate in clubs with focuses on art, science, financial literacy, athletics, cultural appreciation, theater, debate, music and much more. Many clubs will also contain an academic focus that will qualify them as Targeted Services classes and that will allow students to improve vital academic skills while enrolled in the club. Clubs will be run by a combination of licensed teachers, paraprofessionals, outside vendors and student leaders from within ISD 622.

Minnesota has identified cases of measles in children who recently returned to the U.S. after traveling internationally. The decline in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage, coupled with the increase in measles disease nationally and internationally, puts Minnesota at risk of additional measles cases and a measles outbreak.

MDH has information about measles and the MMR vaccine: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/measles/measlesfacts.html

If your child has any symptoms, please contact your medical provider and school nurse.
