Join us for family game night on Thursday December 12th from 4 to 5:30pm. There will be lots of different games and concessions available to purchase.

• A fever of 100 degrees F (orally) or higher in the past 24 hours without fever-reducing medication

Student absences should be reported to your student's school at 763-504-7910. Additionally, please notify the school if your student has a contagious condition such as chicken pox, strep throat or head lice.

There will be no school from December 23 through January 3rd. School resumes on Monday, January 6th. Have a wonderful break!

Deadline for nominating is Tuesday, Dec. 31.

If you have any gently used sneakers—kids' or adults' sizes—that your family is no longer using, we would be so grateful for your donations. These sneakers will be available for students who may have forgotten their PE shoes or who are in need of a pair to fully engage in class activities.

Many of us struggle at this time of year.

Our social worker and our 5th grade classes are working in partnership with St. James church to create a Forest Family Closet. 

Rdale provides free breakfast and lunch to students daily through Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program. To access additional cost-saving opportunities, we encourage all families to apply for Educational Benefits.

For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, Rdale faces an anticipated budget shortfall of $19-21 million. In coming weeks and months, Rdale will engage the community through transparent conversations.

Robbinsdale Area Schools invites families, staff, community members, and partners to join us for the State of the Budget Town Hall, set for 6:30 – 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at Cooper High School.

Voters have re-elected incumbents Helen Bassett and Greta Evans-Becker and elected Aviva Hillenbrand to the Robbinsdale Area Schools Board.
