At its May 20 meeting, the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Team studied the condition and capacity of Rdale’s school buildings—ranking facilities based on data and discussing how to align future investments with instructional priorities and long-term sustainability.

Robbinsdale Area Schools is participating in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Meals will be provided to children ages 1 year through 18 years without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.

The beat of the drum echoed through Robbinsdale on May 10, as vibrant regalia, spirited dancing, and powerful songs brought the annual spring powwow to life—courtesy of the Rdale American Indian Education Program.

This morning, several of our buildings experienced isolated power outages. Power has been restored, and the school day is continuing as normal.

UPDATE at 8:35 a.m.: Power has been restored to Forest Elementary and FAIR School Crystal. 

Three of our buildings are currently experiencing power outages—Forest Elementary, FAIR School Crystal, and Crystal Learning Center, which houses the Robbinsdale Transition Center. Most of our schools have backup generators, which are running and providing basic power.

At 2:35 p.m., per our safety and severe weather protocols, we delayed dismissing students due to a brief tornado warning, which has now passed.

Don't forget to set up your student's eWallet account for cashless, stress-less shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds! Set one up here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/newhopelearningcenter.
