Robbinsdale Area Schools Superintendent Dr. Teri Staloch shares a heartfelt message to our students, families, staff, and community.

Robbinsdale Area Schools has finalized building principal assignments for the 2026-27 school year following School Board approval of the district’s Statutory Operating Debt (SOD) plan.

As part of a culture of academic integrity, we would like to remind families and students of the importance of test security.

At its business meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026, the Robbinsdale Area Schools Board of Education approved the district’s Statutory Operating Debt (SOD) plan, as well as the boundary changes for the 2026-27 school year previously shared with the community.
