Congratulations to Tanner Jennebach on his acceptance into the Minnesota All-State Band!
Parents and community members are invited to a community screening of "Screenagers: Growing up in the Digital Age" on Wednesday, August 27th @ 6:00 PM in the MS/HS Auditorium. (At the tail end of the 7-12 Open House night)
60 minute run-time
Synopsis
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating screen time — friction she knew all too well.
In Screenagers, as with her award-winning documentaries on mental health, Delaney takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, Screenagers reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.
Congratulations to Tanner Jennebach for being accepted into the Minnesota All State Band! Tanner will be a featured soloist with the ZM Band at our own winter concert on Tuesday, December 16 at 7 PM. Tanner will also be performing with the Minnesota All State Band at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis on Saturday February 14th, 2026.
Fall sports - CC, FB, Soccer, and VB for 7-12 begins tomorrow! Registration must be completed in order to participate.

Cougar Academy's Session 2 has provided numerous learning opportunities. Last week's theme was Space, followed by Safari this week. We had fun with Steam, Math, Writing, visiting the library and engaging in teamwork with friends! We are looking forward to our final day of 🐾Cougar Academy🐾 tomorrow!
It's hard to believe we are already half way through July, which means it is again time to "opt in" to school transportation for the 2025 - 2026 school year. If you would like transportation for your child(ren) for the 2025 - 2026 school year, you must complete the following registration form for each child. Please note, if you live in town we still need you to complete the form. To help us with our route planning, please complete this form (for each child) no later than August 11th. You can access the form by either clicking on the link below or using the QR code.
