VIP Lunch Opportunity!

Students can now earn a VIP Lunch as a special reward! 

Students who earn VIP Lunch will get to sit at a designated specials table in the cafeteria and may invite ONE guest to join them the following day. Guests can be:
✔️ One adult (18+)
✔️ One staff member
✔️ One classmate (from any grade!)

Important Reminder:If an adult guest attends, we kindly ask that families do not bring lunch, as outside food will not be permitted at the VIP table. If the adult would like to buy a school lunch it is at a cost of $5.25, cash or check only. 

We’re excited to celebrate our students and give them this fun opportunity!

We are writing to share an update about the temporary online learning option that was offered beginning in January. This option will end on Friday, March 27, which is the last day of school before Spring Break.

Supt. Dr. Teri Staloch and CHS Student

Last year, Robbinsdale Area Schools asked our community a simple but important question: What should education and our schools look like in the years ahead? 

Through Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030, we listened carefully to students, families and staff about what matters most as we build the school district our students want, need and deserve. Those conversations were honest, thoughtful and sometimes difficult, but they were exactly what our district needed to begin shaping a stronger future together.
