Minnesota’s Permanent School Fund

This November, Minnesota voters will see a constitutional amendment on the ballot related to the Permanent School Fund—a long-standing fund that helps support public schools across the state. The proposed amendment would update how money from the fund can be distributed to Minnesota school districts while preserving the fund for future generations. It’s an important topic for Minnesota schools and communities, and we encourage residents to learn more before heading to the polls. he amendment does not create a new tax or increase individual income or property taxes.

Fidgets vs toys

We are asking families to please keep squishies and similar fidget toys at home. These items can become distracting during the school day and can interfere with learning.

If a student has an identified need for a fidget, we have a variety of school-approved, classroom-friendly fidgets available to support individual student needs.

If a student does bring a squishy or similar toy to school, it is required to remain in their backpack at all times and should not be used during the school day.

We also ask that students do not trade, share, sell, or give squishies or toys to other students at school. This helps us maintain a consistent and focused learning environment for everyone.

If a student brings a squishy or toy to school and it is taken, lost, misplaced, damaged, or otherwise goes missing, the school is not responsible for the item. We encourage students to leave these items at home to help prevent them from becoming lost or creating concerns at school.

Thank you for your help and support!
