For the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, 53 individuals across all classifications and employee groups have or will retire from Osseo Area Schools. These individuals dedicated a combined total of 1,180 years of service to district scholars and families.

These retirees were formally recognized at the May 19 school board meeting, and retirees and their guests attended an informal reception before the meeting, hosted by Superintendent Dr. Kim Hiel and the school board.

North View Middle School hosted a talent show during its advisory period May 29. The show featured a range of enthusiastic and talented performers such as dancers, singers and soccer players.

Park Brook Elementary School is currently featured on the Minnesota Department of Education’s (MDE) website as a Spotlight on Success school. The featured schools serve as examples of how Minnesota schools are prioritizing health and well-being while positively impacting educational outcomes.

The school will be the subject of a longer feature story from MDE in the coming weeks. The initial write-up praises the school’s use of brain boosts, kinesthetic seating, staff training on the importance of physical activity during the school day and a robust lineup of active opportunities for students to take part in throughout the school year.

It's school barbeque season around Osseo Area Schools, a beloved annual tradition where elementary schools invite families and caregivers to join their student for lunch at school. Nutrition services staff play the role of grillmasters for these events, which serve as important ways for school communities to come together and celebrate the end of the school year.
