Mr. Hiti's Message

Our school cell phone policy is that all cell phones need to be kept in lockers during school hours (8:45 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.) They should be off or on silent mode during that time. If parents/guardians need to get in touch with their student for any reason, they can call the main office at 651-403-7600 and we will pull their student from class to call back.

AirPods should not be brought to school. Bluetooth is not available on iPads, therefore students have no need for them. In the event headphones are needed in the classroom, the school supplies them for students to use. Cell phones and AirPods are a disruption to the classroom and we appreciate your cooperation.

Have You Taken the Family Survey Yet?

School District 197 is administering the Annual District Survey for families again this year. The survey link was emailed to all District parents/guardians on January 8 from our survey partner Panorama. The survey will be open through February 2. Taking the survey is optional, but all District parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to take it. The more feedback the district gets, the better we can meet the needs of students, families, and staff. The family survey is anonymous and takes about 20 minutes to complete. If you did not receive an email from Panorama with your unique survey link, please email district.communications@isd197.org. To learn more about our Annual District Survey, please visit our website.
