Please be at the event by the meet time listed to gain free entry:

October 6th - Girls Swim and Dive vs Spring Lake Park

(meet @ 5:45 JMS Pool)

We check out books for three weeks, which means books checked out during the first week of school are already due. We will occasionally send out notices that your student has an overdue book to ask your help in reminding students to either return the book or renew it. This helps us get books back that are not being used so that others can have access to them. If you get a message about an overdue book, know that your student is not in trouble! It is just a reminder to either return a book or to let us know it is still being read.

Does your student love working with computers? Are they tech savvy? Might they like to hang with others who like to "talk tech"? Then they should consider joining Champlin Park's latest and hottest new club--Rebel Tech!

The opening club meeting for students will be held on Wednesday, October 7th. 2:20 LMC.

For parents who would like to know more about this opportunity for their students, please consider joining us for an information meeting on conferences night Thursday, October 8th, 6:00pm., Library (LMC) You can join us in person or online.

Students need to attend school to achieve in school. Anoka-Hennepin Schools aims to share attendance and resources and tips with families to support student success.

Every day counts: Research shows that missing 10 percent of school negatively affects a student’s academic performance. That’s just two days a month! (Attendance Works.) District student services staff and attendance secretaries at each school may reach out to families throughout the school year if your student is at risk of truancy.

Why it matters: The more involved students are in school, the more likely they are to enjoy and want to attend school. Students who attend school 95% of the time are:

• More likely to be on track to graduate on time.

• Do better in reading and math.

• Are less likely to fail a class.

• Are more likely to have the credits needed to graduate.

Families can make a difference: We can all work together to support students. Consider how you can help your student attend to achieve!

• Teach your child to organize their clothes, lunch and books for school the night before, so they are prepared in the morning.

• Encourage your child to participate in before- or after-school activities. Students who are involved at school usually enjoy school more and are more likely to want to attend each day.

• Schedule non-emergency health and dental appointments outside of school hours; and schedule vacations for days your children don’t have school.

• If you know your child needs to miss school, contact the office as soon as possible to coordinate plans as soon as possible.

Watch the video to learn more about why attendance matters.

Technology plays an important role in preparing students for life, and Chromebooks are utilized as a daily learning tool in Anoka-Hennepin middle and high school classrooms. Students in grades 6-12 are assigned a Chromebook from the school district to ensure access to technology systems that support classroom learning.

As part of Anoka-Hennepin Schools' commitment to student safety and well-being, an optional technology tool is now available for district families at no charge, “GoGuardian Parent.” This application provides parents with insights into their child’s online activity within their school-managed accounts and devices.

Features include:

• Review of browsing history.

• Blocking of specific websites during out-of-school hours.

• Pause internet access on demand during out-of-school hours.

• Scheduled times to pause internet access during out-of-school hours.

Participation in GoGuardian Parent is optional. Anoka-Hennepin Schools respects parental rights and provides this tool as an additional resource for families who wish to utilize it.
