Greetings Vikings!

Greetings Vikings!

After a busy summer of building repairs and improvements, along with staff trainings and goal setting workshops, we are thrilled to be rounding the corner to the start of the 2025-26 school year. The start of a new school year is a time of renewal and opportunity, where students, staff, and families come together to create a vibrant learning environment.


Welcome Days

One of the highlights leading up to the first day of school is our district’s Welcome Days events. Welcome Days provide students and families with the opportunity to meet teachers, connect with classmates, and take care of all the necessary back-to-school logistics. Please prioritize attending! Building specific information will also be coming your way very soon. Welcome days set everyone up for success so that when the first day of classes arrives, everyone can focus on what truly matters: learning.


2025-26 Student/Parent Handbook

The 2025-26 Student/Parent Handbook is available for download below. The handbook contains important information and clarity of processes and procedures that families need to know. For access to the handbook throughout the school year, information can be found on the Parent/Student Resources webpage. If you would like a paper copy of the Student/Parent Handbook please contact Pakou Lee at 651-674-1011 or plee@isd138.org.


It’s a great time to be a Viking! SKOL!
