Dear Rolette Families,
On behalf of the Rolette Public School District, welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I hope you and your family have had a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer. We are excited to welcome our students, staff, and families back for another year of learning, growth, and success.
This year, our school-wide theme is LEVEL UP! Throughout the year, we will encourage every student to challenge themselves academically, socially, and personally. Whether in the classroom, on the court, on the stage, or in the community, every day presents an opportunity to learn, grow, work together, and reach new goals.
We are also excited to share a few important updates for the upcoming school year. Rolette Public School District is transitioning to Infinite Campus, North Dakota's statewide student information system. All families will complete student registration through Infinite Campus, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we make this transition.
In addition, we are updating our primary district communication platform from Blackboard Connect to Apptegy. We encourage all families to download the Rolette COMET App to receive school announcements, emergency notifications, athletic updates, and other important district information throughout the year. Please note that NL and North Prairie Cooperative programs will continue to use Remind as their primary communication platform.
We are also pleased to continue participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which provides free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students each school day.
Important Dates
• Registration: Monday, August 10, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
• Back-to-School Open House: Thursday, August 13, 4:00–6:00 PM
• First Day of School: Wednesday, August 19 (School Hours: 8:30AM-3:20PM)
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are grateful for the opportunity to work together in supporting the success of every student. We look forward to welcoming everyone back and beginning another outstanding school year as we Level Up together.
Enjoy the remainder of your summer, and we'll see you soon!
Sincerely,
Catherine Anderson
Superintendent / Elementary Principal
