UPDATE: As of Jan. 3, 2022, Robbinsdale Area Schools has changed the way staff report work-related accidents and injuries. The new process is to call the Nurse Line. Follow these instructions.

Employee Accident Reporting, or First Report of Injuries

In the event of an accident or injury at the work-place, employees should immediately notify their supervisor, and then call the nurse line at 1-844-847- 8708. This is required for all workplace injuries. (See the nurse line flyer.)

The nurse line will assist in triaging the injury and determining what treatment is needed. If it's a medical emergency, call 911, and following the emergency, the employee's supervisor should call the nurse line.

If the registered nurse feels medical treatment is needed, they will help facilitate the process by calling the appropriate medical provider, let the provider know the employee will be coming for treatment, and provide all necessary details. If the employee does not need medical care, the nurse will provide the employee with their contact information, should anything change.

The nurse line can be accessed at any time of day, any day of the year, and will also follow up with the employee 24 to 48 hours after their initial call.

Note: this step replaces the first step of our Accident Reporting Process. 

The following forms are available by contacting the district’s Director of Facilities and Operations at 763-504-8024. Forms include:

• PPE Request Forms - FOT Staff

As a resident of the Robbinsdale Area School District, we are keeping our lights on for you.  In addition to the critical job of preparing our students for a successful future, we strongly believe that schools are a vital resource for everyone in our school community, young and old alike.  That is why the Community Enrichment and Engagement division of Robbinsdale Area Schools schedules and supervises the use of district buildings before and after school and on weekends.  Non-residents are also welcome to rent district facilities.

Community Use of Facilities

Indoor Air Quality

To report an indoor air quality concern (temperature, humidity, odor, mold, dust for example) please detail the building condition(s) and symptoms relating to your/your student’s health in writing to the building principal or building manager. Your concern will be forwarded to the building custodian who will perform a detailed investigation, troubleshoot the source and recommendations for a solution. If the problem is not able to be solved, the Buildings and Grounds Department or a vendor will be contracted.

For more information, please see the indoor air quality webpage from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
