Rush Creek News
Plans are underway for a smooth transition to new attendance boundaries at the elementary and middle school levels, which start Sept. 8, 2026. Families can double-check whether or not their household is impacted by using the 2026-27 search tool available via osseoschools.org/boundaries.
Families who have students impacted by the attendance boundary changes received a letter with information about their new school and other pertinent details last December.
Students relocating can expect a similar educational experience across district schools, with shared goals for academic rigor and a welcoming environment at all sites. Efforts have also been made to keep neighborhoods together as much as possible so that any school changes are made with familiar students.
These changes can be tough; however, every effort is being made to ensure families have great experiences at all schools. This fall’s open houses will help welcome and support families relocating. Families can also check out school websites and/or schedule a tour in the weeks ahead.
The flexibility with this needed change is appreciated. Questions? Check out osseoschools.org/boundaries, or reach out to BetterFuture@district279.org or 763-391-8990.
