The Minnesota Department of Education has declared Friday, May 1 and Monday, May 4 as planning days for school districts to provide educators additional time for delivering Distance Learning. MDE has launched webinars to assist districts in their Distance Learning planning.

 See the full schedule of webinars and instructions on how to register is available here. Note: You must register for each webinar. Sessions are limited to 1000, but the system will create a wait list. If you are waitlisted, MDE will provide the same webinar at a later date and time.

We are offering an OPTIONAL virtual event for our incoming 9th grade students to help register for fall classes.  This information and the tools will be available on Thursday, April 23rd. You will see several helpful links to help you with this process. After you've had a chance to watch our instruction video and review the documents, we will offer a live stream of the process along with a Q&A with Counselors on April 23rd from 1:00-2:00pm to help answer any remaining questions and to support families with the digital registration process. If you are selecting to complete the registration process at home, we are asking that you complete the 8th Grade Registration Form no later than Monday April 27th. If you are unable to complete the registration process online, our staff will reach out to your to assist in selecting classes.
