We R All In Newsletter

Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) is proud to recognize National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is celebrated from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15.

There's optimism a new state law will help grow an ethnic studies course Rdale already offers high school students.

Just over three years ago we created this electronic newsletter, We R All In, to highlight the work we do in Rdale as it relates to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). 

Join Robbinsdale American Indian Education in our Orange Shirt Day Remembrance Walk from 5 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27.

Students in the Asian American student group at Cooper High School have something special in the works to honor Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month.

Several hundred Rdale teachers and other staff learned more about in Indigenous history during a recent staff development day. The project was long in the making.

District support staff have seen the ways culture has a direct impact on how people seek support, the type of help they engage in, their coping styles and social support. 

Last month, hundreds of people attended the district’s annual spring powwow at Armstrong High School for a day-long event of singing and dancing. That event led into Minnesota’s American Indian Month, which is celebrated annually in May.

Thank you for reading We R All In this school year. The newsletter will be back in the fall when school resumes

Attend a commencement ceremony, whether at a high school or post-secondary institution, and you’re likely to see a relatively new addition: graduation caps creatively decorated by students.

Few learning experiences have the kind of impact the district’s annual Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU) and civil rights tour offers the high school students who attend.

The graduation rate for students in Rdale's AVID program has been 100 percent for the past two years. 

Robbinsdale Area Schools is taking a novel approach to a major, once-every-three-years revision of the Student Handbook: It’s asking the students to weigh in.

If you’ve never been to a powwow, it might be surprising to learn they’re beautiful, colorful, spirited and rich with sound. 

Last Thursday more than 70 people gathered to participate in the first of several culture night activities offered by the American Indian Education Department. 

Students at Armstrong High School know they can visit the climate and culture room when they need to study, when they need guidance or support or if they need to take time to deal with stresses that come with being a student. 

Last month, in recognition of Black History Month, Rdale hosted its annual event at FAIR School Crystal.

Using a person’s pronouns is a way to show respect, similar to learning their name and pronouncing it properly.

Because reading is so critical, leaders in Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) are taking steps to improve how students are taught to read.

Students participating in the upcoming district Black History Month event were asked to reflect on the significance of Black History Month in their own lives.
