Drop-offs and Pick-ups
1. Please remember that the line on 14th Street is a moving pick up lane. Stay in your car and pull all the way up to the first sign so that we can keep the line moving. Our staff out there are trying to keep the line moving to maximize the number of cars in the pick up zone. Your cooperation is much appreciated.
2. Please do not drop your students off in the staff parking lot. If you are dropping off or picking up other than on 14th St, please make sure your kids are crossing at the crosswalks and using sidewalks.

COVID At-Home Tests For Students
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has given districts and schools the flexibility to order the BinaxNOW OTC OTC At-Home test kits for students who are symptomatic. BinaxNOW Over-the-Counter (OTC) At-Home test is an individual, diagnostic, rapid antigen COVID-19 test recommended for symptomatic students that utilizes a nasal swab. Results are available in 15 minutes of processing. This out-of-school testing program is intended to provide quick access to testing if a student develops symptoms and to help prevent further spread. If your child is experiencing any of the wide-range of COVID-19 symptoms please contact the health office to obtain the BinaxNow OTC At-Home test.

If your child is going to be absent, please contact the attendance line at 507-444-8305.
