Hall Star Shine Weekly

There is no school on Monday, September 21st in support of student attendance for those who observe Yom Kippur. Minneapolis Kids “Non-School Day" programs and district offices will be open. View MPS school year and observance calendars on our website: mpschools.org/calendars

Every day in school builds momentum, as routines, relationships, and learning add up.

Our district and school expectation is 95%+ attendance and on‑time arrival.

The Hall Attendance Team will be reaching out to families who are falling below 95%, especially students who are arriving to school late on a regular basis, to discuss supports and develop a plan to get to school on time.
