You will see a draft of the  “School Opening and Mitigation Plan ‘22.”  At our school board meeting last week there was an opportunity for public input on the agenda. This will be the draft that is out there for public opinion. You can email me directly (address below) with any input on the plan. The School Board will take formal action at the September regular meeting. 

If you have not done so already, please make sure to download our school app on your phone. It is a very important tool you could have in your pocket/purse.  Whether you have an Apple or Android phone, just go to the app store and download the App, “Melrose Area Public Schools MN.”  Make sure it is the “Minnesota” Melrose.  Along with all of the information you will need on the district, it will also serve as the device for notifications on any school closings. 

We had a great fall workshop with our staff last week.  It also seemed that we had a large percentage of our parents/students here for the Open Houses both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Families also did a very good job of picking up their Chromebooks early along with early registration.  These two actions will help students have a great start to the school year. 

Please continue to monitor our website for any updates on the next step of our building projects. 

If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me or any of the building principals.
