Robbinsdale Area Schools has launched the Annual Update for the 2026-27 school year, available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. The Annual Update allows families to review and update important student information—including transportation preferences, parent/guardian contact information, emergency contacts, annual opt-outs, and more—all in one place.

As Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) continues its Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 planning process, the School Board met June 15, 2026 (watch the meeting | see the agenda) to provide direction on the next phase of long-range facilities planning and a potential building bond referendum.

Robbinsdale Area Schools is participating in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Meals will be provided to children ages 1 year through 18 years without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.

Building on months of work by our Board and the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Team, we recently hosted three public engagement sessions to offer students, families, staff, and community members opportunities to learn more, ask questions, share feedback, and help shape what comes next.

We are pleased to offer this recorded presentation available for the broader community to view

Robbinsdale Area Schools is entering the fifth year of its opt-in transportation system. The past four school years have demonstrated the opt-in system works because it helps decrease the number of routes while increasing efficiency in our transportation system.

The annual transportation opt-in survey will be included in a new annual update available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal on July 1. The annual update survey must be completed for each student before the start of the 2026-27 school year. 

Rdale is continuing community conversations this May as part of Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030. Join us to learn more, ask questions, and help shape the future of our schools.
