Free breakfast and lunch kits will be available for children, up to age 18, June 15-Aug. 14, at five District 196 schools and two neighborhood locations. 

Superintendent Mary Kreger provides an update on summer programs and meals and a message to the Class of 2020, and shares remarks about the recent events in Minnesota.

Our Community Education program is working hard every day to ensure a variety of learning opportunities for your engagement, enrichment and inspiration! Check out what's in store for summer.

There will be no distance learning May 1 and 4, however free meals will still be available. Also, students will be able to keep devices this summer.

All cocurricular activities and on-site events are also canceled. Alternate plans for graduation are currently being discussed. 

Based on the addition of new safety and security improvements, the benefit of key features and our familiarity with the system, the district has decided to continue using Zoom.

The national Schoology and Seesaw support teams are monitoring the situation and working hard to minimize any disruptions to service to member districts.

We are committed to the goal of providing meaningful learning opportunities and personalized connections between students/families and teachers/school staff during this time.

Free meals will be available at five school locations or dropped off at neighborhood sites around District 196.
