Hawk Talk
Message from Mr. Carlson
We have had an increase in students bringing smart watches to school. This can sometimes be disruptive and distracting in the classroom. We ask that you please keep these devices at home.
If you need to communicate with your student during the school day, please do so by contacting the school office at 763-792-5700. We will be happy to pass along any messages or if necessary bring the student to the office to call you.
