Absences, Appointments, and Early Pickup Process
If your child is going to be absent, will be late due to a scheduled appointment, or if you will be picking up your child early, please enter this absence in the "report absence" section of the ParentVue app. If you are picking your child up early, leave a note with the reason for pick up and the time you will be arriving in the notes section and we will send a pass to your child to leave class 5 minutes ahead of that time. They will be watching for you to arrive in the parent pick up lane at door 1 at the requested time. You do NOT need to come inside for an early pick up or to drop off your student late. If you do need to come in, you will be asked to wait in the vestibule for your child to arrive.
Parents can put money in their student's lunch account and view menus by visiting the District Food Service website here
Our school offers healthy meals each day. Starting school year 2023-24, we are joining Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program. All students can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school. Although no application is required to receive this free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important! Your child(ren) may qualify for other benefits like reduced fees at school. Your application may also help the school qualify for education funds, discounts, and other meal programs.

The Rangers Supporting Rangers Food Program is intended to assist families in the district who have a financial need by supplementing meals on weekends and during extended school breaks. Each participating student receives a weekend meal pack containing 2 light breakfasts, lunches, and snacks every Friday during the school year.
