You’ll bring your child along with his/her birth certificate, immunization record and proof of residence. Monday, April 8th is an eLearning day so that students will be able to witness the total solar eclipse from home. Students WILL NOT report to the building that day but will work from home on their iPads.

Congratulations to Golden Apple Award recipient Mrs. Lisa Eilbracht, our 3rd/4th grade High Ability teacher at Van Duyn Elementary School. We are very proud of you!

Welcome Back from Spring Break! This week's events included.

Starting tomorrow, (Monday, March 25th), anyone coming into Van Duyn for any reason (visit, drop students off, pick students up, etc.), will need to bring a state-issued ID (driver's license or ID card). There is an iPad kiosk on the SRO desk where visitors will scan the bar code on the back of their ID and then answer a few questions regarding the reason for their visit. Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we navigate this new check-in process.

If you were in our building last week, you had the chance to use our new sign-in/sign-out system. We will no longer be using paper forms. There is an iPad kiosk on the SRO desk. Starting Monday, March 25th, anyone coming into the building for any reason (visit, drop students off, pick students up, etc.), will need to bring a state-issued ID (driver's license or ID card). Visitors will scan the bar code on the back of their ID and then answer a few questions regarding the reason for their visit. If you come in without your ID, you will be instructed to see the SRO or the front office to be checked in. Upon your first visit, it will prompt you to take a photo. This will only happen upon your initial visit. Please share this information with any family members who may need to come into the building. Please be patient with us as this is new to us as well and we are learning right along with you.

It's the first day of spring! We hope our Vikings are enjoying their spring break.
