Minatare Public School District

Good afternoon, We don't have a bunch of wiggle room in the calendar for snow days, early outs, or late starts, which is why we utilize a remote day option on typical snow days. In calculating the hours for the school year, yesterday's late start has slightly dropped us below the required 1080 hours. To pick up some time, we will make Thursday, February 16th a regular, full day of school prior to parent-teacher conferences instead of a 1:30 pm dismissal. Parent-teacher conferences will remain the same (4:30 pm - 7:30 pm). Thank you.

There will be a 10:00 am late start today January 30, at Minatare Public Schools, Pre-K and Grades K12. Buses will run accordingly. Please remember there is no breakfast served on late start days. Bus pickup time 9:15 at Coop, Melbeta pickup 9:35.
