Families with students in elementary or in high school are invited to join us during Open House this week to meet your child’s teacher(s), tour the school, see some redesigned spaces, and connect with other families. Find the date of your school's Open House in our Back to School news .
Families experiencing financial stress who are in need of school supplies can pick them up during their school's Open House event. Stop by the main office and ask for the School Supplies Program or to speak with the school social worker. For more information visit our  Family Resources Back-to-School page. A special thanks to the generous donors of the drive.

Immunization Records
All students must be  up to date with the required immunizations in order to attend school in the fall. It is important for parents of incoming kindergartners to submit their immunization information to the Welcome Center. Parents of incoming seventh graders should check their student’s immunization records to make sure they’re up to date in the   Parent Portal  prior to the start of the 2019-2020 school year. For questions, contact the Welcome Center at [email protected] or call 952-975-7000.
The following message is from the Minnesota Department of Revenue regarding a possible tax benefit parents may qualify for on their 2019 Minnesota income tax return.

Minnesota Revenue offers two valuable tax benefits for parents who purchase school supplies for their K-12 students, the K-12 Education Credit and Subtraction. These benefits can reduce parents’ taxes to increase their refund, but is only available for those who keep their receipts. Purchases for most school supplies, field trips, and musical instruments for school band are eligible.

Most Minnesota parents qualify for the K-12 subtraction, which reduces their taxable income. Parents under certain income limits may also qualify for the K-12 credit, which can refund up to 75% of their costs – even for parents who don’t owe any taxes. Visit the  Minnesota Revenue website  for details.
