SPECTRUM HIGH SCHOOL 

  • Students in 10th and 11th grades may sign up to take the PSAT/NMSQT exam on October 14, 2020.  The registration form is found in your School Counseling Schoology course under Form Dropbox. Please fill in your NAME when you complete the form and submit it electronically via the dropbox. Forms will now be accepted through Tuesday, September 15. This deadline is firm and final.

  • Reminder: On Mondays Spectrum has Advisory check-ins at 10:00 am. Please be sure you have the proper link and are ready to log in prior to the start time. Bring any questions or concerns to your Advisor. 

  • Lifetouch Studios will be on site to photograph student pictures for those who were unable to do so in August. Due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic and the requirement to be compliant with the 50% building capacity mandate, a specific appointment time will need to be booked – one for each student. Please note: This Picture Make-up Day is taking place on Monday, September 14, 2020, which is a distance learning day for all students. All pictures, regardless of grade, will be taken on the stage of the high school building. Younger students and those who do not yet drive will need to make arrangements for transportation.

    See the District News on website for more details on scheduling your appointment. 

  • Be sure to review the Student Mask Requirements found on the school website. We recognize that there are a variety of opinions on and feelings associated with students wearing a face mask or face shield. We also recognize that it's not comfortable or easy to do so. Our focus is on doing what is necessary for students to be back in school and for Spectrum to be able to continue offering our hybrid program (and eventually have everyone back on campus together). As a public school, this means we all need to do our part to follow the guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health. We thank all of our students and families in advance for ensuring students' masks or shields meet the necessary qualifications defined in Spectrum's Student Face Covering Requirements.

  • Please note that students will NOT be allowed to charge their chromebooks in the IT tech office during the school day this year. Remember to charge your chromebooks at home so that they are ready for use each day during your class schedule. 

 

SPECTRUM MIDDLE SCHOOL
 

  • Schedule: Our routines have been established now until mid-semester (October 30) with AVID Boot Camp starting next week on Wednesday and Thursday. Please communicate any concerns, or make requests so you are confidently prepared.

  • At Spectrum Middle School, each day we say, Have a great day, knowing that you belong here, and with humble confidence and your best efforts, today will be a success. Go Sting! Since the announcements are only being written for now, we welcome you to take a moment to say or reflect on the Pledge of Allegiance as well as our middle-school mindset. Have a great week, Sting!

  • Chromebooks:  For Tuesday-Wednesday or Thursday-Friday students, be sure that you are in the habit of bringing your Chromebook home each night, charging it, and bringing it back to school the next day.

  • First quarter announcements will be on the District Daily Announcements page. Please be sure to check them out daily, including the monitors when on campus.

  • Breaks: Following the Student Mask Requirements, we will do our best to provide you with some breaks throughout the day. Be respectful and responsible with this, and all will work out just fine.
