Calhoun Elementary

Welcome back, Minks! It's been a beautiful Monday for learning at Calhoun School! We look forward to the great year ahead as we're #ALLINforMcMinnCountySchools

Some updates we need to share: •4th grade has been moved to the elementary side of the building, so please plan accordingly for pick up. •Due to rising costs, ice cream will be $1.50 this year. Our ice cream box has not yet been stocked. We anticipate mid-week. Please reference teacher preference as to daily-weekly-monthly payment. •A Saturday STREAM trip is now taking reservations. Find details on school website & Facebook
