The national Schoology and Seesaw support teams are monitoring the situation and working hard to minimize any disruptions to service to member districts.

We are committed to the goal of providing meaningful learning opportunities and personalized connections between students/families and teachers/school staff during this time.

Free meals will be available at five school locations or dropped off at neighborhood sites around District 196. 

Transcript of Superintendent Mary Kreger's latest update to families regarding COVID-19.

In response to Governor Walz’ executive order, all of our schools and buildings are closed until at least Monday, March 30. Only essential staff will be in the buildings. 

In the event schools will remain closed after spring break, the district will implement its e-learning plan. Options are available for students and staff who do not have access to reliable internet.

Grab-and-go meals will be available March 16-20, and child care is being offered only for children of health care workers and emergency personnel. 

This includes all programs and activities. Teachers will not be providing instruction this week. School buildings will be open Monday, March 16 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to allow families to collect necessary items.

Effective Saturday, March 14, all District 196 Community Education evening and weekend classes, and facility rentals are also canceled through March 29. As a reminder, all Minnesota State High School League-sponsored events, games and tournaments are canceled. We are following MSHSL guidelines in allowing practice until further notice.

District 196 schools remain open and classes are being held as scheduled. However, all school-sponsored evening activities at District 196 schools are canceled, except Community Education classes.

Parents in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools interested in becoming involved in districtwide conversations regarding curriculum, instruction and assessment are encouraged to apply for membership on the district’s Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Council (CIAC).

District 196 will continue to use FeePay through this school year and plan to have a replacement service in place for the start of the 2020-21 school year this fall.

District 196 has added text messaging to the list of ways we communicate. Parents/guardians must opt-in to receive text messages by texting “Y” to 67587.

FeePay system is back online, however Sourcewell has said families may still experience some intermittent disruptions with this transition. They have provided guidance for the most common situations that may occur.
