Parents and guardians—please take a moment to check our Lost and Found before the holiday break or while you’re here for the Holiday Program on December 17th!
When we return from break, all remaining items will be bagged and donated.
Going forward, please note that at the end of each month we will be clearing out the Lost and Found, as we simply do not have the space to store unclaimed items long-term.
Thank you for helping us keep our school organized!

Class of 2026 Fundraising Information
In accordance with the READ Act, Minnesota schools are required to screen students in grades 4-12 to track reading progress using the assessment platform Capti ReadBasix. This is the first year of using this platform but will be the norm moving forward. Students will be screened for the first time starting December 8th.
Historically, students have used assessments such as FastBridge or STAR. This is the first time the Minnesota Department of Education has mandated a testing platform for grades 4-12.
The screener will check a student’s decoding ability, understanding of morphology, vocabulary, and grade level reading comprehension.
For more information, please see the attached document from the Minnesota Department of Education.
For more questions, reach out to Chelsie Belkholm at cbelkholm@isd319.org.
