Free Meals for School Students
You may have seen in the news that the Minnesota Legislature and Governor Walz have approved a new law providing free breakfast and lunch to Minnesota school students. These free meals will begin in September for the next school year (23-24) and we will have more details and information available for families this summer. For the rest of this school year, breakfast and lunch will continue to follow the same pricing as they have all year.
FLE Staff Spotlight
Mrs. Amell - Case Manager
This is my first year working at FLE! I really enjoy working with a supportive team. I also love my students, watching them learn, grow, and be authentically them. I love my job!
Cameras Now Operating on Buses
Video cameras have been recently installed on all of our school buses. These cameras will help keep our students safer on buses, and will cover both the interior and exterior of the bus. The camera footage will be used to help document and prevent any unsafe behavior on the bus, and to identify and prosecute dangerous drivers around school buses and bus stops.
It’s important to note that these cameras will not be monitored live in real time, but their footage will be used by school administration whenever situations need further investigation. Footage is not available for public viewing.
These cameras were funded in large part by a grant from the State of Minnesota to help improve school bus safety for our students. We are excited to have this additional tool to help provide a safe ride to school for all of our students.
