Last year the School Board voted to change the 2022-23 school year calendar. To accommodate two holidays – Yom Kippur on Oct. 5, 2022, and Eid celebrated on April 21 and 22, 2023.

The Neill PTA is excited to introduce our new Fall Fundraiser...a whole school WALK-A-THON. The money raised from this fundraiser helps provide meaningful programs for our Neill students throughout the school year. 

This year's picture day is October 10th.  Retakes will be done on November 10th.  Watch for details coming soon!

Mondays from 2:35 pm - 4:00 pm, beginning October 17th and ending in early May

Membership fee is $20 - cash or check payable to Neill Elementary

I am happy to report that we currently have drivers to staff all transportation routes and busing to school activities. In addition, we believe we have hired enough staff to be able to cover our routes if our drivers call out sick or need to take extended leaves. 

A reminder to families that school start times are changing beginning with the 2022-23 school year.

Starting this fall, school meals will no longer be free to all students. Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals through the Educational Benefits application will have access to meals at no cost or a reduced cost.

With monkeypox in the news, we know students and families may be concerned about the national outbreak and how it could affect our schools. 

Students who attend public schools in Minnesota are required by state law to have specific immunizations (or written proof of exemption) before they can attend school

Every year we ask all families to complete an Educational Benefits application. This is a big request, and we ask you to take a few moments to apply right now.

Families whose students ride the bus to school should have received a postcard with transportation information in the mail. If you didn’t get a postcard, bus information can also be found in the Parent Portal.

Before school starts, download the free Durham Bus Tracker app to view routes and scheduled stops, see messages related to route delays and track buses.

Families and staff can continue to wear face coverings and are encouraged to do so if they believe it is best for them.
