Hello Roadrunner Families, 

Our 3 - 5th grade students are working to complete their MCA's this week with the math portion.  They all have been focused and working hard.  Thank you for your cooperation on getting them to school on time for testing.  

Make sure to mark your calendars for the final Neill Family Night, our PTA carnival!  It will be Friday April 25th from 5:30 - 7:30.  This is a cash only event.  Each game will cost tickets and every game results in a prize.  We will also have two food trucks available for families to purchase food if they would like.  The Egg Roll Queen, who was with us last year will be back, as well as Youniverse Foodie Waffles.  

We will also have our Dental Clinic at Neill on May 15h.  Please see the post below to register your child for this free opportunity!  

Finally, please remember there is no school this Friday April 18th or Monday April 21st.  

In Partnership

There will be NO SCHOOL Friday, April 18th and Monday, Monday 21st, 2025.  Classes will resume on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025.

Our mission at Ready, Set, Smile is to prepare and empower all children in our community to care for their oral health through education and preventive services.  We have partnered with your school to provide dental screenings, cavity prevention, and education to your family at NO COST! 

Our goal is to ensure every child has access, information and a positive dental experience.  Classroom education and treatment are completed during the school day.  No needles or drills are involved in our treatment to allow children to have a positive experience.  

Your child will receive:

• A dental screening
• A tooth brush and floss cleaning
• Fluoride
• Cavity-prevention-fluoride and sealants
• Silver diamine fluoride
• (SDF) and temporary fillings if needed and authorized by parent 
• Instructions on brushing and flossing
• A toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and a prize
• A report to take home

Join us for the Neill carnival Friday, April 25th from 5:30 - 7:30 PM. 

Fun for the whole family!  Hope to see you there!

This is a cash-only event.  All students must be accompanied by an adult.

Dannica’s family chose Robbinsdale Area Schools for its diversity—and found a school community where their kids feel seen, supported, and excited to learn every day.

Dr. Kenneth Wutoh has officially joined the Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) Board of Education after taking the oath of office during the Board’s regular meeting on Monday, April 7.

This week, the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 process turned its focus squarely on the student experience, with powerful conversations across schools and within the Vision 2030 Team.

The Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Team convened for its third session on March 25 at Armstrong High School, continuing its work to build a sustainable and student-centered future for Robbinsdale Area Schools.

March 17-21, the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 process continued to grow deeper and more inclusive as we held another targeted community engagement event and wrapped up student conversations at Cooper High School.

This week, we continued our Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 engagement efforts, ensuring that voices from across the district—students, families, staff, and community members—are helping shape the future of Robbinsdale Area Schools.

This week marked a major milestone in the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 process as we kicked off student engagement.
