TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION
If your student is a bus rider, bus assignments will be available in the LaunchPad on Monday, Aug. 17 for all schools.

CONNECT AND ASSESS DAYS
Connect and Assess days are high-priority, one-on-one conferences providing teachers with individualized knowledge about each student and a chance for parents to share information about their child. Also, school pictures will be taken during Connect and Assess. Conenct and Assess meetings are different from Normandale’s Open House event, which is an optional event designed to promote community building, fun, and an introduction to the year ahead.

2026 Connect and Assess Dates:

  • August 28- 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

  • ​​​​​​​August 31 - 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

A sign-up document for Connect and Assess will be sent on August 18 at 9 a.m. with directions on how to sign up. Supervision/activities for siblings (ages 3-12) will be available while families are in the building attending your student(s) Connect and Assess meeting.  Assessments given during Connect and Assess are brief screeners designed to help teachers understand where their students are academically and help them prepare to meet student needs most effectively. By screening before the beginning of the school year, teachers can better target their instruction to the needs of their students beginning on the first day of school.
