Principal's Place
Hello Families,
As we conclude the semester and begin to prepare for conferences, I am excited to know I will get to see you all soon. Conferences are a great way to learn about your child’s school achievements and social/emotional growth this school year. There are so many school strengths your children have, which we get the gift of sharing. Please take time to set up this meeting with your child’s classroom teacher. Our goal is to meet with 100 percent of our families.
Another exciting offering of connection this month is our Better Together Family/Teacher meeting. This meeting will be held on February 13th at 5PM. At Better Together, parents are partners in learning more about IB, have a voice in school wide systems, participate in building academic growth goals and also get to have some food and fun too. School age childcare is always available and light snacks are provided. Please RSVP to the main office if you will be joining this month. We are better together!
Take Care,
Principal Iverson
Looking ahead...

Hello Families,
February is Black History Month, and we will be serving some new items to our students. Nutritional Services worked with a group of High School students to plan several different menu items. On February 16th we will be serving Jollaf Rice with the Jerk Chicken. Jolllaf Rice is a rice dish from Western Africa and is made from white rice, tomatoes, onions and spices all cooked together. Next on February 23 we will be serving Gumbo with rice. Our gumbo will be made with Thousand Hills Beef Andouille Sausage (from Becker, MN). Gumbo is popular in the Southern United States, especially in Louisiana. Gumbo can be made with a variety of different meats and the High School Students were very excited that we would try this dish. The final request was Collard Greens and those will be served on February 27 or 28, depending on the school. We hope that you will encourage your students to try these menu items and experience some different flavors and cuisines.
If your families, income has changed, you can still apply for Educational Benefits (free/reduced priced meals). The application can be completed online through the Campus Portal at https://fridleymn.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/parents/fridley.jsp If you do not have Campus Parent Portal access, paper applications can be found at your school's office or on the Nutritional Services Web Page. Please check your students lunch balance, we have quite a few students who have a negative lunch balance. If you are having trouble paying your outstanding lunch balance, please contact Kathy Backstrom at 763-502-5021 to discuss payment options. If your child is bringing a cold lunch and wants a milk, the cost is $0.55, and your child needs to have money in their account.
Interactive menus and pdf menus are posted on the Nutritional Services website. Please note that menus are subject to change due to supply chain and staffing issues. The most current menus are found on using the Titan link on the Nutritional Services web page. If you have any menu questions or concerns, please contact Renee Arbogast at 763-502-5022
