At its business meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026, the Robbinsdale Area Schools Board of Education approved the district’s Statutory Operating Debt (SOD) plan, as well as the boundary changes for the 2026-27 school year previously shared with the community.

Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) wants to make sure families stay connected and informed throughout their student's educational journey by using the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

As federal ICE and Border Patrol activity continues to impact communities across our region, we are sharing an important update. The safety and support of our students, staff, and families remain our top priority.

At its study session on Monday, Jan. 12, 2026, the Robbinsdale Area Schools Board of Education continued its work to address the district’s required Statutory Operating Debt (SOD) plan. This included review of proposed boundary adjustments; a draft SOD plan that will need to be finalized, approved by the Board and submitted to the Minnesota Department of Education; and additional updates focused on middle school course offerings and high school programming transitions.

We are aware of false rumors circulating on social media about ICE or federal agents at Rdale schools. These claims are not true, and we are sharing clear information to reaffirm our commitment to safety, dignity, and belonging for all students and families.

In light of recent events, Robbinsdale Area Schools is reaffirming our commitment to safety, dignity, and belonging and highlighting resources available to support students, staff, and families.

We are seeking parents or caregivers of children 0-6 to participate in a Circle of Security-Parenting education group. A teacher, who is completing their Master's degree in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health through the University of Minnesota, will guide parents and/or caregivers in making their child feel safe, understood, supported and ultimately enhancing their social and emotional development. The teacher will be supervised by a licensed mental health provider who will be present for the sessions. This 8 session group is free and starts the week of March 8th, 2026.

Check out the flier for additional information.

Mark your calendars.
