All AOWL parents and caregivers are invited to upcoming events with our Parent-Teacher Organization. Check out our Parent Calendar for information on how to join.

Miss Mikki will work with our Adult Education Program in the morning, and then join grades 8-12 students in the afternoon for Future Guidance as their instructor. Additionally, Miss Mikki will meet with high school students and their families monthly to support planning for life beyond high school. All AOWL families with high schoolers, be on the lookout for communications coming soon from Ms. Mikki!

Academy of Whole Learning believes that regular school attendance is directly related to success in the academic world, benefits the students socially, provides opportunities for important communication between teachers and students, and establishes regular habits of dependability important to the future of the student. Please communicate with [email protected] ahead of time if your child will be tardy or absent. The below information comes directly from our Family Handbook, shared with all AOWL families, and available on our website. Please refer to the "Attendance" section for additional information.

If a student will be absent, please call or email the school ([email protected]) as well as your student’s homeroom/advisory teacher by 8:30 a.m. to report the absence with the following information:

We strongly encourage you to schedule doctor and dentist appointments, etc. outside the school day and calendar. Our students benefit from as much continuity and consistency as possible.

Parents of tardy students must sign their student in at the front office. Due to COVID, a phone call to 952-737-6900 at the time of student drop-off is an acceptable way to sign in your student.  

Students who arrive late to class during the school day without a valid reason will also be considered tardy.

Parents are responsible for getting their children to school on time. If a student is regularly tardy or absent (unexcused) Academy of Whole Learning administration will conference with parents to review the problem, notify them of the requirements of the state attendance law, and outline corrective action.

All absences and tardies will be noted on report cards/WIPPs and student files.

If you feel you need support for your family in this matter, AOWL will work with families in any way that supports the betterment of the student’s social, emotional, and academic wellbeing whenever possible.

We follow the advice of the Minnetonka Police to find the best queuing situation for our families when dropping off or picking up, and they have advised that Middle and High School parents/caregivers should wait in the Ice Arena parking lot until it is time to move forward. Thank you for your flexibility as we continue to make these adjustments!

Due to the continued high transmission rate of COVID-19, conferences will take place virtually this year.

There will be NO SCHOOL on October 7 and 8 for Professional Development and Conferences Preparation (Activity Days will be offered). AOWL faculty will be completing a summary of data and information to help guide your conferences, including social emotional and academic components.

Look for an email in the coming weeks from classroom teachers for a time to sign up for your virtual conference!

Group Therapy sessions are off to a great start this year! Our groups run for 10 weeks and provide a wide range of support for your children and teens.
