The work is the start of a four-year construction cycle that will impact every one of our schools as part of the Fit for the Future plan. That plan, which was backed by voters last November when the community approved a request for new funding to make the plan happen, will create safe and secure learning environments by removing all portable classrooms across the district, construct additional schools and classroom space, provide solutions for maintaining quality schools at every building in the district, and address class sizes at all levels. For more information about the Fit for the Future projects, the construction timeline, or more information about the plan itself, visit ahschools.us/construction. Knowing the financial strain that tuition may place on a family’s budget, a sliding tuition scale is available for three-year-old preschool and four-year-old preschool - option 3. See page 20 for sliding tuition scale information. CHANGES NEW Sibling discount Boundary changes When two children from the same family are enrolled in three- year-old preschool or four-year-old preschool - option 3, a 50 percent tuition discount will be given to the second child. Additional children will also receive a 50 percent tuition discount, up to four total children per family. Online registration and class availability Registration for the 2018-19 classes began in February. Visit our website for class schedule and availability information or to register. Registrations are welcome throughout the year and will be placed as space is available until classes are full. www.ahschools.us/preschool BOUNDARY The Anoka-Hennepin School Board began seeking feedback from community members via community meetings, surveys and emails in January 2018 in an effort to address attendance boundary changes at all elementary schools, and middle schools in Blaine and Coon Rapids, to balance student enrollment. Detailed attendance boundary proposals, including interactive maps, are available at ahschools.us/ boundaries. Edited proposals, if applicable, will be shared with the School Board between Aug. 27-Sept. 24, at which a School Board decision is tentatively planned for the regularly scheduled School Board meeting Sept. 24. Families will be notified of new attendance boundaries by December 2018, and new attendance boundaries will go into effect in Sept. 2019.
