Community Education - Rochester, Minnesota

Join Ryder and the PAW Patrol on a mission here at Northrop! Working together, our class will discover how everyone can help making our world better while creating some fun Paw Patrol crafts. Dress for fun!

Your energetic little one is growing and trying new things, so establishing routines and being consistent is very important. As your child learns through play and social interactions, you will discuss parenting techniques that help you appreciate the "little things" in your life. Parents will move to a separate location for the parent discussion portion.

Playing, learning, and discovering are the current priorities as your toddler transitions to a preschooler. Explore a variety of skills that can help you nurture and guide your child through these early years.  Parents will move to a separate location for the parent discussion portion.

What strengthens a bond between a parent and child more than playing and learning together? Come and gain knowledge of child growth and development, temperament styles, and discipline techniques. Learn ways to strengthen your relationship with your child to make learning fun and discipline easier.  Parents will move to a separate location for the parent discussion portion.

Share the joys and challenges of parenting a not quite little child, but not quite big child. Dig deeper into the difficulties and successes you are having alongside other parents navigating the same hectic world you live in.  The age of the children in this class must fall within the guidelines.  Each class offers the ECFE class experience including PACT* followed by children’s learning and play time and a parent discussion. Parents will move to a separate room for a parent discussion.

Class is taught by Miss Kristin, of Hen and Chicks, a musician and storyteller. Enjoy learning some of the "50 Songs Every Child Should Know". Your child will sing, dance, play a wide variety of instruments and learn some basic music theory while having fun! The "50" song list will be provided along with weekly class handouts. An adult must accompany and participate with the child.

The Middle School Sports program is designed to accommodate all levels of experience and skill level. Practices will focus on learning the fundamentals and rules of the specific sport, strength and agility, teamwork, and sportsmanship. You will report to practice immediately following dismissal from school and practices will take place at your home school.Although game schedules are subject to change and dependent on the other middle schools for games, we plan that you will play each of the other schools during the season. Games will start at 3:15 and run for approximately an hour, ending in time for the away team to travel back to its home school in time to catch the late bus.Rosters are limited to 40 players for all schools and registration will be taken on a first come first serve basis not ability level. All players must pre-register in order to participate and will not be allowed to participate until registration has been received.Team shirts will be provided to all players enrolled in sports where team identification is necessary. Tuition assistance is available for qualifying students. Please contact Community Education at 328.4000 to discuss this option.A detailed schedule will be distributed to the students by the coaches once the season starts. Games/practices will not be held on non-school days or when activities are cancelled because of inclement weather.There will be a limited route late bus service available for students who need transportation home after practice. Please refer to the late bus schedule on the district website at www.rochester.k12.mn.us. Please select the Transportation page and then Middle School Late Bus Schedule. PLEASE NOTE: Not all of the schools are available for after school use on all of the days that sports will be held. We will try to arrange game schedules so that the students will be playing a game at one of the other schools on a day that shows as a skip date at their school. We will give the students a detailed schedule at the beginning of the session.
