Robbinsdale Area Schools has finalized building principal assignments for the 2026-27 school year following School Board approval of the district’s Statutory Operating Debt (SOD) plan.

As the weather turns colder we want to remind families that students go outside for recess everyday unless it is raining and as long as the temperature is above 0 degrees or 10 below zero with the wind chill. Please make sure your students have appropriate outdoor clothing including coats, hats, gloves, snow pants etc. If you need help obtaining those items, please contact the school social worker and we can help you in getting these items.

Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) wants to make sure families stay connected and informed throughout their student's educational journey by using the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

As federal ICE and Border Patrol activity continues to impact communities across our region, we are sharing an important update. The safety and support of our students, staff, and families remain our top priority.

At its study session on Monday, Jan. 12, 2026, the Robbinsdale Area Schools Board of Education continued its work to address the district’s required Statutory Operating Debt (SOD) plan. This included review of proposed boundary adjustments; a draft SOD plan that will need to be finalized, approved by the Board and submitted to the Minnesota Department of Education; and additional updates focused on middle school course offerings and high school programming transitions.

We are aware of false rumors circulating on social media about ICE or federal agents at Rdale schools. These claims are not true, and we are sharing clear information to reaffirm our commitment to safety, dignity, and belonging for all students and families.
