School Readiness
General information - preparing for distance learning
Dear Families,
Dear Families,
I hope this email finds your family well. Know that we are thinking of you and what your family may be experiencing. These are incredibly challenging times on so many levels. As a school team, we are doing our best to put ourselves in your shoes. We are attempting to have realistic expectations for students, parents, families and for ourselves. Further, as we have been living in this frequently changing environment, we realize that things in your family may also be changing on a daily basis. Please continue to communicate with school staff as things happen of which we need to be aware.
We also want to thank you for your support during the planning period for distance learning the governor directed for all schools. We thank you for your positive thoughts and wishes, for your offers of support and for your acknowledgement of the effort all our staff are making to plan for distance learning if so directed by Governor Walz. We thank you for the pictures you’ve shared with us of your kids, for completing surveys and sharing needed information, and for the patience and grace you’ve shown us and one another as we navigate this new situation together!

Childcare Services
Childcare services, including transportation will be provided from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm for students of emergency workers, school staff and other essential workers as defined by Governor Walz’s Executive Order free of charge. In order to ensure the safety of the children and staff in the program, attending children's temperatures will be taken upon arrival and again at midday by school district nurses.
If a child in school district care is found to have a fever or be ill, parents/guardians will be contacted immediately and will be expected to pick up their children as soon as possible. Students will be immediately separated from other students while awaiting pick up.
If you have questions if you qualify or interested in learning more about access to School Age Care services please contact Youth Connections at 651-674-1029 or click here for more information.
