Dear Champlin Park High School Parents and Guardians,

On Wednesday, October 28th, all Champlin Park High School students will be attending a vital presentation titled "The Dangerous Truth About Today's Marijuana." Students will attend either in person or via a live virtual stream.

We are hosting national speaker Laura Stack, founder of the nonprofit organization Johnny's Ambassadors. After tragically losing her son to suicide after being diagnosed with cannabis induced psychosis, Laura dedicated her life to educating youth on the dangers of high-potency THC products.

This science-based presentation will teach students about:

• The dangers of modern, high-THC products.

• The impact of potent marijuana on adolescent brain development and mental health.

• How to make safe, informed choices for their futures.

Parent Resources:

While this live event is for students only, we strongly encourage you to take a look at the website, watch the attached parent video or see the attached brochures. It provides valuable context on what your student will learn, explains the risks of today's high-potency THC, and offers tips on how to talk to your teen about this topic.

FAFSA Information

It is best for students to create their FAFSA account first and then invite their parents.. You will be applying for the 2027-2028 school year. Tax information from 2025 is required.

FAFSA Resources

• Early Decision I: November 1, 2026 (Binding agreement)

• Early Action I: November 1–15, 2026

• Early Decision II: Typically in January, but some schools have a second early deadline in December (Binding agreement)

• Early Action II: Typically in December or January

Always confirm the deadline: Deadlines vary by institution, so always verify the exact date on each college's official admissions website.

Know your plan type: Early Action is non-binding, while Early Decision is a binding commitment.

Prepare for a quick turnaround: If you apply early and are not accepted, you may have a very short window to submit regular decision applications to other schools.

Submit all materials: Ensure all required materials, including letters of recommendation, are submitted by the deadline.

Direct Admissions Minnesota MN Direct Admissions proactively informs Champlin Park seniors that they have met the admissions standards for over 50 participating state colleges and waives all application fees.

How It Works

• Academic Review: In the fall, participating colleges review the transcripts and GPAs of high school seniors through their junior year.

• Personalized Notification: Students receive an email and a list showing which specific colleges and universities are ready to admit them.

• Free Application: Students review their list, select the schools they like, and complete free applications to finalize their admission.

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.

Parent/guardian representation is needed at upcoming Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) meetings for the upcoming school year from families with students of all age levels - including early childhood, elementary, middle school, high school, and transition-aged students - with a full continuum of student disabilities.

What it is: SEAC (pronounced “seek”) is comprised of parents/guardians of students in the district who receive Special Education services.

Why it matters: The intent of SEAC is to advise the school district on parent involvement, current issues, program development and established department priorities. The council serves as a resource and an advisory council for special education programs in the district.

How to get involved: Contact Mary Esch at 763-506-1362 or mary.esch@ahschools.us. Parents/guardians who wish to be part of SEAC are asked to make an effort to attend all meetings.

Meeting details: The focus and work of the group is driven by parents' interest in projects and resources that benefit all families of students served in special education.

Meetings are held in-person from 6-7 p.m. at the Anoka-Hennepin Education Service Center (ESC) located at 2727 N. Ferry Street in Anoka. Meeting dates have been set for the 2026-27 school year:

• Oct. 8, 2026 - Pauline Chamberlain

• Nov. 10, 2026 - Erling Johnson C and D
  Focus on Interventions and multi-tiered systems of support.

• Dec. 10, 2026 - Erling Johnson C and D

• Jan. 14, 2027 - Erling Johnson C and D - Focus on 504 plans and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), including accommodations and modifications.

• Feb. 18, 2027 - George Petty

• Mar. 18, 2027 - 5:30 to 7 pm - Joint Special Education Resource Fair with Osseo Area Schools at Brooklyn Park Community Activity Center, 5600 85th Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN

Along with casting votes for candidates for office this fall, ballots for voters in Anoka-Hennepin and across Minnesota will include a question that, if approved, would adjust the Minnesota Permanent School Fund to increase revenue for education without increasing property taxes.

What is it? The Permanent School Fund was formed when Minnesota became a state in 1858 as proceeds from land provided from the federal government were directed to fund public education for children as included in the state constitution. A change or amendment in the constitution requires a statewide vote.

Why it matters: The majority of revenue to operate Anoka-Hennepin Schools is provided by taxpayers at the state, national and local level. Permanent School Fund revenue is generated through timber sales, mining, land leases, and other resource activities generated by the 2.5 million acres of land and 1 million acres of mineral rights managed through the fund.

The question: The ballot question would increase the funding allocation from the PSF to 4.5% of proceeds, up from the current 2.5% allocation. For Anoka-Hennepin, this would result in an estimated $33 increase in per-pupil funding or $1.2 million annually. If not approved by voters, the fund would remain at its current allocation level, the land would remain in trust and operations would continue in their current format.

Review the fact sheet.

Go deeper: The ballot question was authorized by the Minnesota Legislature following a 134-0 vote in the House of Representatives and strong bi-partisan support in the Minnesota Senate. This action followed a recommendation from a non-partisan task force assigned to study and recommend updates to the allocation formula with the goal of providing a sustainable funding source to support Minnesota’s children in alignment with the original purpose of the fund.

Vote: In order to gain approval for a Minnesota constitutional amendment, a majority of all voters participating in the election would need to vote yes. If a voter leaves the question blank, it counts as a no vote.

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.
