Many Rdale students automatically qualify for educational benefits if they participate in certain county or state programs.

Rdale is required to let families know their student attends a CEP school.

Earlier this summer, Robbinsdale Area Schools launched the Annual Update for the 2026-27 school year, available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
