Students and staff during school, students participating in district-sanctioned athletics, activities, performances and events, across all grade levels, will be subject to Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) COVID-19 protocols. These guidelines are different from the updates the district made earlier this week.

District is extending this period of distance learning at all district schools through Friday, Jan. 28.

School meal bundles can be picked up at eight sites in the district  from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Additionally, two sites will have an evening pick up from 3:30-5:30 p.m. 

We had hoped to continue with in-person learning without disruption, but many of our staff have tested positive or are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. As a result, all district schools will shift to distance learning beginning Tuesday, Jan. 18, through Friday, Jan. 21. Students will return to in-person learning on Tuesday, Jan. 25.

With school set to resume on Monday, Jan. 3, Robbinsdale Area Schools would like to remind families that students who are not feeling well should stay home from school. 

Local and state law enforcement do not believe threats through this challenge are credible.

A reminder to families there is no school Monday, Dec. 20 through Friday, Dec. 31. Classes will resume in the new year on Monday, Jan. 3, 2022.

The district is changing two days on the 2021-22 school calendar due to educational challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In-person school will not take place on Friday, Jan. 14, and Friday, Feb. 18, 2022. Instead, students will engage in learning activities from home.

During winter break, families will receive postcards from transportation with updated bus route information. They will be sent through the U.S. Postal Service to your address on record.

Although it is too early to know how this potential storm will impact us, we do not expect to call off school for tomorrow. However, we will be watching the weather forecast closely.

To help with worsening road and travel conditions, Robbinsdale Area Schools will dismiss all grade levels early today, Friday, Dec. 10, due to heavy snowfall. In addition, all afternoon and evening activities are canceled. 

To ensure a smooth transition of rerouting buses on Jan. 3, we need to begin making updates in our student information system starting Friday, Dec. 10. This means we will not be able to use Infinite Campus or the Durham Bus app to notify families of late or canceled buses during this time.

Winter’s coldest months are nearly upon us, so this is a good time to remind families that sometimes Robbinsdale Area Schools may be forced to close school because of extreme temperatures or significant snow.

Be sure to visit the district’s weather closing website to learn more about the process that goes into determining if a school closure is necessary, as well as the ways you’ll be notified about cancelations.
