Social time matters—even online! 💻✨ Kids light up when they get to share pieces of their lives: losing a tooth, a fresh haircut, a special celebration, or a new pet at home. These small moments create big connections. When children are given space to share and celebrate each other, friendships grow stronger and hearts feel a little closer—even through a screen. 💛 MNSync and Rochester Public Schools logos. Pictures of children sharing.

This is a reminder that there is no school on Monday, March 30, through Friday, April 3, for Spring Break.

The sun was out, the birds were chirping, and it felt like spring had officially sprung... but the inbox tells a different story. Ever since Jaycob took over "Snow Day Training" a few weeks ago (see the video here if you missed it: https://youtu.be/jPwjsoXBMy4?si=JZ9a1_58bleNVRNg), he’s been flooded with dozens of emails from students (and maybe a few parents 😉) asking for one thing: SNOW DAY.

Even our tiniest lobbyists are getting involved! Check out this video of Ms. Heil's kindergarteners making their formal plea to Jaycob: https://youtu.be/sIDZXtotrkA

Now, with a "historic winter storm" potentially hitting this Sunday into Monday, the whole district is asking the same question: WHAT WILL JAYCOB DO?

Stay tuned... the forecast is looking interesting...
