April Minne Scoop!

A Note from Mr. Archer

Minnehaha Family,

As we enter the fourth quarter of the school year, it’s amazing to see how quickly time flies!

Yesterday’s snowstorm was a good reminder that students should still have snow pants at school. When there is snow on the ground, they are required to wear them during recess. Please ensure your child has their winter gear at school for at least a couple more weeks, as we still have some cold days ahead.

We are in the middle of MCA testing, which will continue for a couple more weeks. These tests are administered to 3rd and 4th graders. Please make sure your child is getting plenty of rest during this testing period. We are excited to see how our students perform on this important spring assessment!

A few additional reminders:

School starts at 7:50 AM. If your child needs breakfast at school, please try to have them arrive closer to 7:30 AM.
Bus policy: Students are not allowed to ride a bus other than their assigned one. Each year, we receive requests for students to ride the bus to a friend’s house or a different relative’s home. It is difficult to accommodate these requests and ensure that each child gets where they are supposed to. If you feel you have an emergency that requires a temporary bus change, please contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support!
