We hope you are doing well and taking care of yourselves and your families. Congratulations on completing another week of Distance Learning!
We want to remind you that, per Governor Walz's executive order on school closure, students will not be participating in Distance Learning on Monday, May 4. Staff members will be using this day for planning.
As we continue to navigate through this unprecedented time, please reach out to your child's teacher, dean, or principal if you need support or assistance - and we will do our best to support you. Each one of our schools has a student support team that is available and ready to support students. In addition, please scroll down to view more resources for our families - including school supplies, dining sites, student assistance programs, and more! Remember - We will get through this together - we got this Fridley!
Around this time every year, Fridley Public Schools holds a celebration to honor and recognize the many volunteers who support our students, teachers and schools. Our volunteers give their valuable time and resources to support academic and extra curricular opportunities for our students. THANK YOU to all our volunteers - your contributions are greatly appreciated and you make a huge positive impact in our students lives. Although we cannot hold an in-person celebration this year, we hope you enjoy this Volunteer Appreciation Video below!
