If you want to join efforts in advocating on behalf of Osseo Area Schools students and students across Minnesota with state and federal legislators, apply to be a member of the newly formed 2022-23 Osseo Area Schools Legislative Action Committee (LAC)! All interested parents, community members and high school students who live or are enrolled in the district are encouraged to apply. 

The Family and Community Engagement team is launching three programs in October. Each series will meet monthly in the evening, and dinner and childcare will be provided.

Bus driver shortages are being felt by school bus companies across the country. Thanks to the hard work of the Osseo Area Schools Transportation department, district bus routes are staffed; however, families are encouraged to prepare a plan in case their student’s bus route must be delayed or canceled. Every effort is being made to prevent this situation; for that reason, should a delay or cancelation of a bus route be unavoidable, the news may be shared with affected families with little advance notice.

In early August, the District 279 Foundation and Kidstop held the 12th annual Reading is Fun 5K. Though it was a rainy morning, more than 100 runners were committed to going the distance. All who participated in person and in spirit raised at least $8,000 that will go toward media centers across the district.
