We have started something new in music! All grades have started using the collection of barred instruments here at Neill. They are xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels. This week, we have been learning the routines and expectations around this new equipment, and all classes will be using them to reinforce music skills and concepts. Students have been excited to try them, and they are doing a great job with the new routines!
Our fifth graders took a field trip last Friday to Armstrong High School to view a performance of the Armstrong Concert Choir and the middle school select choirs, meet the middle school choir teachers, and learn from students who are members of the choirs in middle and high school. Fifth grade families: if you missed the registration for choir in middle school, and your student wants to join, please email me (sarah_prindiville@rdale.org) and I can put you in touch with the counselors at the middle schools.
Order your yearbook now! The deadline is April 4, 2025!

The journey to shape the future of Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) began in earnest Jan. 29 as the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Team convened for the first time.
At Robbinsdale Area Schools, we are steadfast in our commitment to ensuring every student and family feels safe, valued, and supported. Amid times of uncertainty and challenges facing many in our community, we want to reaffirm a simple but vital truth: all are welcome here.
Save the date for Rdale's annual Black History Month Celebration at Robbinsdale Middle School.
The future of Robbinsdale Area Schools is in your hands. The first Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 community engagement meeting is happening on Feb. 11 at Plymouth Middle School.
Robbinsdale Area Schools invites all members of the district’s school community to share their insights through the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Community Survey, which is now open.
As part of a culture of academic integrity, we would like to remind families and students of the importance of test security.
