The Golden Valley Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission (DEIC) is holding its annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Human Rights Contest for youth. This contest is open to all Robbinsdale Area School students in grades K-12.

We are asking all families to complete an Educational Benefits application. By completing an application, families may qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

There are five boxes of cards to choose from: All Occasion Box #1, All Occasion Box #2, Thanks and Blanks Box, Kids Birthday Box, and the Holiday Card Collection. Card samples from previous collections are available to view in the ECFE office, Rm 15 at the New Hope Learning Center.

The region is experiencing a winter storm today, Nov. 29, 2022. As a result, Robbinsdale Area Schools will conduct a staggered early release. In addition, all afternoon and evening activities are canceled. 

Sometimes Robbinsdale Area Schools may be forced to close school or shift to e-learning due to extreme temperatures or significant snowfall. 

To support students who need extra practice and skill building in Robbinsdale, 14 tutors are needed throughout the district. If you or someone you know is interested in helping students build their reading, math or early literacy/numeracy skills, you’re sure to make a difference.
