Our Commitment

St. Cloud Area School District is guided by four core commitments: safety, belonging, collaboration and excellence. We protect both the physical safety and emotional well-being of our students, families and staff, and we work to ensure our schools remain safe, stable and focused on learning every day.

All students, regardless of race, religion or immigration status, have the right to access high-quality learning, extracurricular opportunities and the full range of educational services in St. Cloud Area Schools. I want to assure our community that, consistent with federal law, a student’s or family’s immigration status does not impact their access to a public education. Our schools will continue to be places where students can learn without fear.

To our students, families and staff: we care about you, we appreciate you and we are committed to ensuring that you feel safe and supported in every one of our schools.

Laurie Putnam, Superintendent

PurposeFull Pursuit:

Think about something you are good at. Maybe you’re good at packing your own lunch, drawing pictures, or helping with a younger sibling. You weren’t born with these skills. You learned them through practice and Perseverance. Now think about something new you’d like to learn. You’re just a little practice and perseverance away from being good at something new! Give it a try!
