back to school

When you see a school bus with its lights flashing, you have to stop, right? Most times, yes. But, there is one exception to that law here in Minnesota.

The Carver County Sheriff's Office posted a warning to parents on their Facebook page over the weekend.

As a parent I know that back to school shopping can be stressful. However, what I witnessed recently at the Duluth Target was both embarrassing and unnecessary.

Show us in a GIF how you are feeling right now about the words "back-to-school".

School starts in a few weeks and there are over 1,900 students that can't afford school supplies in Olmsted County.

Parents, this is your friendly reminder that if your kids need to ride the bus to school in Rochester for the 2021-2022 year, there is a form you need to fill out.

We want to thank all of our area educators for their dedication during this difficult time. Tell us about an amazing teacher or paraprofessional in your life and they could win the “Back to School Smiles” prize pack which includes a complete orthodontic transformation from GLK Orthodontics!

We are all blaming "Karen" and saying "I'm fine" when in fact, we are NOT. If that sounds familiar and you have opened up your mouth and said any of those things...or you are just a mom...STOP whatever you are doing right now because I've got something for you that will make you laugh.

I see your Facebook posts and how frustrated you are with the "communication" for your kids' class, the lack of supply lists, the issue with not being able to find Clorox wipes even though it is ON the list. Moms that have kids who have IEP's and 504 plans, moms that have brand new Kindergarteners and you have zero idea how this school stuff works in a normal year, let alone in a pandemic...
