Robbinsdale Area Schools will hold school in-person on Monday, March 16, 2026. There will be no shift to e-learning.

As we come to the last half of the year, we have a lot of volunteer opportunities that are coming up. Visit our FAIR PTO website to see how you can get involved!

The PTO would love to stay in contact with our families to keep everyone up to date on Dine to Donates, Student Playground meet-ups, meetings and more. Please fill out this survey to get on our mailing list!

Spotlight featuring Triple Threat:

Stages Theatre will continue their partnership with Rdale Community Education for another session of Triple Threat.

To really deliver on stage, Broadway performers need to be able to sing, dance, and act. In this session, students will strengthen their acting, singing, and dance skills while focusing on what it takes to fully embody a character—from a scene into a song.

Students will learn how to develop a character starting with the first audition, continuing through the rehearsal process, and all the way to the final bow.

Wednesdays, April 8 – May 13
2:25 PM – 3:55 PM
Fair Pilgrim Lane – Room 222

Registration opens on March 20 - click here to go to the community ed site.  Check out the video below to see our Winter Session presentation!

On March 18 at 10:00 a.m., our Grade 4 students will be presenting their Connecting Generations project and are excited to show off all they have learned!  We warmly invite families to join us for the presentation starting at 10:00 a.m.  Please click here for more details!

Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) is asking families to share honest, anonymous feedback about your school so we can celebrate what’s working—and improve what isn’t.

Your responses help our schools and district better understand family perspectives, identify strengths, and focus on opportunities for improvement. All responses are anonymous. Individual answers will not be shared with schools; results will only be reported in summary form to guide school and district planning.

• Caregiver Survey - English
• Caregiver Survey - Spanish
• Caregiver Survey - Somali

If a family has more than one child enrolled in the district, they are encouraged to complete one survey for each school their children attend. This will assist Rdale in gathering accurate information about the experience at each school they are engaged with. 

Rdale greatly appreciates families taking the time to complete this survey. Parent and guardian participation helps support continuous improvement for our students, schools, and community.

We are excited to announce we will have a Girls on The Run team for our 3rd - 5th grade students for another season this Spring!  A big thank you to FAIR parent Heidi Columb who has offered to be our head coach!  She will also have Christina Robb, Olivia Peer, and Amber Peterson as assistant coaches.  

Girls on the Run inspires individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. Together, they experience a sense of belonging and connection as a team. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. At the end of the season, the team completes a Community Impact Project and a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.

Please check out the Girls on the Run website for more information and to register!
