As was stated in a message earlier in the day, school Minnesota school districts and charter schools will be closed Wednesday, March 18th through Friday, March 27th.
Part of Governor Walz’s plan is that school districts provide childcare to children 12 years or younger who are enrolled in our schools, and are the children of emergency and healthcare workers critical to the COVID-19 response.
If you are a healthcare or emergency worker and will need childcare from the school during the upcoming school closure, please visit the following link:

School district employees will review the childcare needs and communicate the details of the arrangements as soon as we are able.
Thank you for your patience as this situation continues to unfold.

As a school district, we are working to remain informed about the COVID-19 (corona) virus and its impact should it become a local concern. As with all outbreaks, it is important that everyone stay informed, focus on facts, and take our lead from those in the health community whose job it is to help communities deal with situations like this and stay safe.
