Greetings Southwest Laker Families

First and foremost, I would like to thank you all for your responses via comments, questions, and suggestions regarding my email last week.  Decisions are not always popular, but addressing situations is always necessary. 

A couple of things that warrant additional information:

Laker Fans! Congratulation your Southwest Lakers Region 6AAA champions!
 

Minnesota State High School League Tournament Brackets

Please take the time to complete the Educational Benefits Application 

Meals for the 2021-2022 school year are provided at no cost to all MPS students, district families are highly encouraged to complete the free or reduced-price lunch application to see if you qualify for other benefits, such as reduced activity fees.  

COVID-19 Testing for Kids and Families

MDH announced a recommendation for all school-age youth returning to school, youth sports, or extracurricular activities, and their families, to get tested every two weeks through the end of the school year. While it is not a requirement, regular testing complements other safety measures already in place, such as masking and social distancing.

Schools and youth organizations can send messages and resources available on COVID-19 Testing for Kids and Families to families to encourage testing. Getting tested every two weeks from now until the end of the school year can help keep schools open and sports operating, and ensure we are limiting the spread of COVID-19.
