It is that time of year when we start to build the schedule for next year. I will be in the classrooms this week to hand out course registration sheets for students to take home to select courses for next year. Please select courses, sign the form and return the form to the instructor listed on top of the registration sheet by February 17th. The course description book and additional registration forms are available online under guidance and counseling/registration or in the counseling office at FHS. There is also a PowerPoint presentation for your review that covers registration options for grades 9 through 12. See Here: https://www.isd361.k12.mn.us/page/registration Registration is very important to a student's future education because the administration builds next year’s schedule based upon all student requests. Typically the courses with the most requests are the ones we will offer to students the following year so to help us maintain small class sizes and applicable electives return all course requests before next Friday February 17th. Direct questions to the counseling office.

Good Evening, ISD 361 will be starting school 2 hours late tomorrow due to the projected temperature and wind speed resulting in a forecasted wind chill at a level that we have chosen to start school 2 hours late. Buses will pick students up 2 hours later than normal and families that drop children off at school should drop off 2 hours later than normal. There will be no breakfast at school when students arrive. Sorry for the inconvenience this puts on families and we hope the early notification helps in planning. Staff can access district email for specific instructions on start times. Have a great evening.
