Happy first day of school!
Welcome back from Supt. Dr. Kim Hiel
Students attend back-to-school events
Before school started on Sept. 2, many schools hosted events to welcome their students back and get them ready for another successful year.
Building a Better Future construction update
Some Building a Better Future construction projects were in the final push to full completion last week as schools prepared to welcome students back. Schools finalizing renovations included Basswood, Cedar Island, Fair Oaks, Oak View, Palmer Lake, Rush Creek and Woodland elementary schools, along with Brooklyn Middle STEAM School's first floor and science classroom updates at all middle schools.
Staff attend school year kickoff event
Osseo Area Schools kicked off the 2025-26 school year with an all-staff event Aug. 28 at Park Center Senior High School. The event featured speakers, food trucks, games, a marching band performance and community building for staff members all across the district.
