Dear Spartan Families:
The Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) is one of the longest-running youth surveys in the nation. It is a triennial survey that began in 1989. The survey is an anonymous statewide school-based survey conducted to gain insights into the world of students and their experiences. The next MSS will be administered between January and June 2022 to students in grades five, eight, nine and eleven. Learn more about the survey here: https://education.mn.gov/MDE/dse/health/mss/mde059027.
More information will follow regarding administration dates and opt out options. You can read more about student privacy rights here: https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/node/491

We are excited for the year to start on Tuesday, September 7th. The students will be filling our hallways with smiles and laughter. As typical as we would like to run the school day, we still need to be mindful of COVID-19. Please review the Safe Schools Plan on the website. In order to keep our students and staff healthy and safe, visitors, including parents, will not be allowed in the school building for drop off and pick up. Staff will meet students at the doors and escort them to their classrooms, if necessary. As a reminder, face coverings are strongly recommended at all times and if your child rides the school bus, face coverings are required per federal requirements. This is going to be a great year! See you on Tuesday!
