As we near another exciting school year, I want to extend a warm welcome back to all our students, families, and staff at Pelican Rapids Schools! The 2025-26 school year is upon us, and I sincerely hope that each of you has had a wonderful summer filled with relaxation, joy, and cherished moments with loved ones.
Over the summer, our district staff have been diligently preparing for this new academic adventure. Our dedicated teachers have been working hard at updating the curriculum, reviewing important state standards, and exploring teaching strategies to inspire and engage our students. Meanwhile, updates to our buildings and grounds have been made to ensure a welcoming and stimulating environment for everyone.
Throughout the upcoming school year, our commitment remains steadfastly focused on the safety and success of our students and staff. The administration and school board have set ambitious goals for us to achieve:
- Goal 1: Ensure that 75% of students are kindergarten ready as per teacher assessments.
- Goal 2: Increase MCA reading and math proficiency rates for students eligible for free or reduced-price meals by 3% each year.
- Goal 3: Guarantee that 100% of our graduating seniors have a concrete plan for postsecondary education, military service, or entering the workforce.
- Goal 4: Achieve a Pelican Rapids High School graduation rate that surpasses the statewide average.
We believe these goals will drive us towards a brighter future and inspire excellence in our students.
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you—our students, families, dedicated staff, supportive school board, and the entire community. Your unwavering support and dedication are the pillars that uphold our schools and make Pelican Rapids a place of learning, growth, and opportunity.
I would like to thank district students, families, staff, school board and community members for the continued support of our schools. I am excited for the 2025-26 school year which will offer great learning opportunities for all students at Pelican Rapids Schools. Go Vikings!
