Hello 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Families.
The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) and Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS) are reading, mathematics and science standards-based assessments used to meet federal and state legislative requirements. These assessments measure achievement of the Minnesota Academic Standards. Most students take the MCA, but students who receive special education services and meet the MTAS eligibility requirements may take the MTAS instead.
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.

With a significant winter storm and blizzard conditions in the forecast, Robbinsdale Area Schools will be closed on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. This includes all schools and programs, and no e-learning will take place.
