Connect-Aug. 4
District schools can't wait to open its doors once again to students, families and staff for what's sure to be an incredible year of growth and connection!
New attendance boundaries go into effect at the beginning of the 2026-27 school year, and plans are underway for a smooth transition at each school. Impacted families were notified of these changes last winter, but boundary schools can be verified with the district's School Finder tool.
Students relocating can expect a similar educational experience across district schools, with shared goals for academic rigor and a welcoming environment at all sites. For additional information on the attendance boundary change process, check out osseoschools.org/boundaries. For questions, please reach out to BetterFuture@district279.org or 763-391-8990.
The familiar ParentVUE and StudentVUE apps used by Osseo Area Schools have gotten an updated look. As previous versions of the apps stopped working June 30, please take a moment to download the new apps if you have not done so already, which can be found under the names “StudentVUE (New)” or “ParentVUE (New)”. The developer is Edupoint Educational Systems.
The new StudentVUE/ParentVUE apps feature a more intuitive, user-friendly design with new and improved functionality, such as event security passes and improvements to attendance reporting options.
