Families and community members are invited to join a series of graduation ceremonies and end-of-year celebrations honoring Rdale students, staff, and academic achievement across the district this spring.

School Transition Events

Change can feel big, for students and families alike. But this spring, Robbinsdale Area Schools is opening its doors to help make those next steps feel smaller, more familiar, and filled with possibility.

Whether your student is moving up to a new grade level, like elementary to middle school, or transitioning to a new building due to a school or program closure, these moments matter. To help make that transition smoother, families are invited to attend upcoming school transition events designed to support students heading into new buildings for the 2026-27 school year.

We are writing to share an update about the temporary online learning option that was offered beginning in January. This option will end on Friday, March 27, which is the last day of school before Spring Break.

Supt. Dr. Teri Staloch and CHS Student

Last year, Robbinsdale Area Schools asked our community a simple but important question: What should education and our schools look like in the years ahead? 

Through Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030, we listened carefully to students, families and staff about what matters most as we build the school district our students want, need and deserve. Those conversations were honest, thoughtful and sometimes difficult, but they were exactly what our district needed to begin shaping a stronger future together.
