Set up Your Campus Portal Account Today
As your child progresses to secondary school, it becomes very important that the district have at least one email address on file per household, as the majority of our teacher, school and district communications are sent using this method.
It is also recommended that each parent/guardian have a Campus Portal account, allowing you access to your child's schedule, other student information and to update your contact information. To set up an account, please contact the main office at [email protected] or call 952-556-7800.

Family Breaks
Family breaks are times when students and families can count on no new assignments being due after a school break. The next family break will be November 22-27 for Thanksgiving break. Our hope is that by clearly setting aside these times, families can make plans accordingly and students can enjoy time away from the stressors of schoolwork.
