Are You Ready? Questions about enrollment or school placement? Seats are still available! Visit Student Placement Services at the Davis Center, located at 1250 West Broadway, or call 612.668.1840 for more information. Family engagement is key to academic achievement. When families are involved in their child s learning and school experience, it makes it easier for their child to be successful in school. School supplies? Review our checklist! School supply lists can be found on school websites or by calling your child s school. The following is a general school supply list. Help your child get ready in the morning so he or she arrives at school on time and ready to learn. Ask your child what he or she learns in school each day.

All incoming kindergarten students must be screened before entering school. We recommend that children be screened at age three, but call any time if you are concerned about your child s growth and development. Call our Early Childhood Education department at 612.668.3715 to schedule an appointment and to learn more about the programs that are available for your family. Is your home address and contact information up-to-date? Call your school if you have recently moved or changed childcare providers.

Your child s school also has an automated telephone system to notify you of special events or emergencies. Do you need before- or after-school child care? Look no further than your child s school.

Getting to School Where do you want to Go-To? Minneapolis Public Schools and Metro Transit are partnering to offer eligible high school students Go-To Student Passes! Serving all eligible high school students. New this year: South and Southwest. Go-To Student Passes offer students scheduling flexibility and access to the wide variety of learning opportunities at school and within the greater community. Go-To Student Passes allow student riders access to the bus or train from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m., seven days a week. Eligible families will receive direct communications regarding card distribution, routes and resources to help them transition to using Go-To Student Passes. Distribution of Go-To Student Passes will begin the week of August 19. Visit http://sss.mpls.k12.mn.us/go-to for updated information on the Go-To Student Pass program. The wheels on the bus go round and round... When parents register their child at a school, they are asked for information to set up a bus stop for their child. Students are assigned bus stops within one-quarter (grades K-5) to one-half (grades 6-8) mile from their homes. Students can also receive transportation to a daycare address within a school busing area. For students enrolled prior to August 1, stops are established for the first day of school and bus information is mailed to homes in August. Students enrolling after August 1 will be given a temporary bus stop for the first day of school. A permanent bus stop will be assigned within 10 school days. The first round of changes will be effective September 5 and new changes will be effective each Wednesday thereafter. Families will need to transport their child until a stop is created. Help your child get to school on time. Be ready for the school bus on the first day. Contact your child s school if you have a change of address. School staff members can help arrange a new school bus and bus stop. Be on time. Your child should arrive at the bus stop five minutes early each day. Walk with your child to the bus stop on the first day; show your child how to get there. Meet your child at the bus stop in the afternoon and show him or her how to get home.

Back to School Safety Tips Help students stay safe. Reinforce these tips to help keep students of all ages safe during the 2013-14 school year. Remind your child to stay aware of his or her surroundings, avoid unfamiliar people and places and trust his or her instincts. Teach your child to call 911 in an emergency situation or if he or she needs help. When your child leaves home, make sure he or she always tells you the destination and time of return. Children should travel in pairs/groups or with a trusted adult. If you drive your child to school, follow the school s arrival and dismissal plan. If your child walks to school, be aware of his or her route to and from school. Walk safely, avoiding busy streets if possible. Make sure that students who have difficulty communicating have their address and home phone number with them, either in a backpack or attached to the inside of their clothing. Encourage neighbors to drive safely and watch out for students on their way to and from school. Children should avoid carrying large sums of cash or valuable items. Middle and high school students should always wear or carry their student identification badge. Talk to your child about school bus safety. Stay out of the danger zones. It is safest to stay on the curb when waiting for the bus. Follow all bus rules. Do not bring anything on the bus that is not allowed in school. Stay seated when the bus is in motion. Keep hands and items inside the bus. Talk to your child about internet safety. Avoid postings that could enable a stranger to locate you. Do not disclose your last name, the name of your school or the town where you live. When online, remember that people may not be who they say they are. Never agree to meet someone you have met online in person. Visit http://emss.mpls.k12.mn.us for additional safety resources.

Paperwork will be sent home with your child in the coming weeks. Check out the MPS Health Services website at http://health.mpls.k12.mn.us for more details on immunization requirements. Complete and return the emergency card to your child s school as soon as possible. It is important that we have access to the most accurate contact information for each child in the event that the school needs to reach your family or your child s emergency contact person. Inform your child s school nurse or health office staff of any medications your child takes or of any allergies your child has. Our health office staff members can help develop a plan with you and your health care provider to ensure that your child is safe and comfortable in school. We need permission from your child s healthcare provider each year to administer any medication and medical treatments. Help your child practice good hygiene habits. Show your child how to properly wash his or her hands and how to cover his or her mouth when coughing or sneezing. By preventing illness, your child will come to school ready to participate in classroom learning each day. Page 6 2013 Back to School Guide
True Food to Fuel Your Body New menu options, coming soon! The chefs at the MPS Culinary and Nutrition Services Department have been busy creating new menu options for the new school year, which also meet new federal nutrition requirements that took place last year. At MPS, many of these changes have already been applied by providing additional fruit and vegetable options, as well as whole grain versions of many bread and grain items. In order to meet the last of the requirements, you may notice the following additional changes this fall: Fewer servings of breads and grains Limits on meat and meat alternate serving sizes Calorie limits Requirement for students to take at least one fruit or vegetable at lunch Encourage your children to try new menu items and to include fruits and vegetables in their school meals. MPS school sites offer breakfast and lunch meal options each school day. The lunch menu is available at: http://foodservice.mpls.k12.mn.us Did you know that the Minneapolis Public Schools serve breakfast at no cost to all students in support of student success? The Food Research and Action Center reported that students who eat at school show improved cognitive function, attention and memory in class. Students can perform better on standardized tests and improve grades. Did you know...? Families may qualify for free and reduced-price meals. Students who are approved for reduced-price meals will receive lunch for free this school year. If you have not yet been approved for free and reduced-price meals for the 2013-14 school year and your income meets the eligibility requirements, complete the application that you received in the mail or complete it online at: http://freeandreducedapp.mpls.k12.mn.us Families may purchase meals for their children by sending cash or a check to school in an envelope that is marked with the student s name and PIN. Payments can also be made online at: www.paypams.com Each student has a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for school meals. This number remains the same each year at any MPS school. Ask your child if he or she remembers this number before the first day of school. Practice with this sample PIN pad. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2013 Back to School Guide Page 7
