Scheduling will be done using ParentVUE. Instructions on how to schedule your child(rens) conferences can be found here: Conference Scheduling Instructions.

We are offering virtual conferences as an option during these winter conferences. If you would like to schedule a virtual conference, please follow the same scheduling process in ParentVUE, but select the virtual option, rather than the in-person option.

If you do not yet have a ParentVUE account activated, you may activate it now via this link: ParentVue Activation Instructions.

If you have further questions, please email Angie Munoz at Munoza@District279.org.

To support a focused learning environment, cell phones and smart watches should not be used during the school day. If parents need to communicate with their child, please contact the school office and staff will assist as needed. Electronic devices that cause disruptions during the school day may be confiscated and could result in disciplinary action. Please note that school staff are not responsible for investigating lost or stolen phones or smart watches.

Cedar Island is partnering with Every Meal to provide weekend food again this year.

All Cedar Island families are eligible to register. There are no enrollment requirements.

There are five bag choices to choose from: www.everymeal.org/food-bags.

To sign up: Fill out the brochure that will come home with your students this week or contact Jennifer Taylor (763-450-8122, TaylorJ2@District279.org).

If you have multiple scholars at Cedar Island, you may register them separately and receive one bag of food for each child. The bags do not need to be the same color.

You may cancel or change your bag choice at any time.

Bags will be placed in your child's backpack at the end of the week.

If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Taylor (763-450-8122, TaylorJ2@District279.org).
