White Bear Lake 

Area Schools

Welcome to the 

2012-13 school year! 

In White Bear Lake 

Area Schools, our 

students develop a 

love for learning, excel 

academically, are inspired 

to realize their dreams, 

and become engaged 

citizens with a global 

understanding. 

These words from the 

District’s mission 

statement provide a 

backdrop for the photos 

and activities in this year’s 

Academic Year Calendar. 

Please join us this year

Early Childhood Screening 

State law mandates that all children are required to 

participate in Early Childhood Screening for entrance 

to kindergarten. This screening ensures that all 

young children in Minnesota are well equipped and 

ready for learning and that families can be aware 

of resources in the school and the community. The 

White Bear Lake Area Schools provide screening 

for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years of age 

at no cost (one time only). Children only need to be 

screened once. 

Screening includes: vision and hearing, speech 

and language development; muscle coordination, 

general skills development, health and immunization 

review, family information review, and information 

on community resources. See calendar for Early 

Childhood Screening Dates. Register online 

at www.wblearlychildhoodregistration.org. 

For more information, call 651-653-3100 or visit 

www.whitebear.k12.mn.us/EarlyChildhood. 

Minnesota Student Immunization Law 

Minnesota Statutes Section 121A.15 and Minnesota 

Rules Chapter 4604 requires that each student 

enrolled in and remaining in an elementary or 

secondary school must submit a record stating that 

they have received immunizations consistent with 

medically accepted standards. Immunization records 

from parents or health care provider stating the 

month, day, and year of each dose are acceptable. 

If the student or parent(s) meets one of the legal 

exemptions - contraindication for medical reasons 

or contraindication for conscientiously held beliefs 

- the health care provider or notary needs to sign an 

appropriate exemption. 

For students entering Kindergarten - 12th grade, 

the following immunizations are required: 

• 5 DPT, DT, Td (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) 

• 3 Hepatitis B (HBV) - These injections 

are given over a 6 month period) 

• 4 Polio (OPV or IPV) 

• 2 MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) 

• 2 Varicella (Chicken Pox) or physician verification 

of having had the disease (month/year). 

For students entering 7th grade -12th grade, 

the following additional immunization is required: 

• 1 Booster dose of Td (Tetanus, Diphtheria), 

given at or after 11 years of age. 

• 2 MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) - 

if it was not received before kindergarten. 

• 2 Varicella (Chicken Pox) or physician verification 

of having had the disease (month/year). 

For information about immunizations, please call 

Special Services at 651-407-7554 or speak with your 

school nurse. 

Transportation 

Bus route information will be 

mailed to parents approximately 

one week before the first day of 

the school year. Students should 

be at the bus stop five minutes 

before the bus is scheduled to 

arrive. Students only are allowed 

to ride the bus to and from 

the school and bus stop they 

are assigned. Students are not 

allowed to ride another bus to 

events such as birthday parties, 

scouting, or other activities. Bus 

schedules are somewhat flexible 

during the first week of school 

while drivers become familiar 

with the routes. 

In cases of inclement weather, 

bus drivers will try to maintain 

their schedules. However, if 

roads are icy or snow covered, 

buses may be late and parents 

and students should plan 

accordingly. Parents should 

use their discretion in sending 

children outside when the 

weather is extremely cold. 

For more information about 

District transportation, please 

call the Transportation Office 

at 651-407-7538. 

Emergency Weather Closing 

When a decision is made to close 

schools, an announcement will 

be made over major radio and 

television stations as early in 

the morning as possible. The 

announcement will identify our 

school district as White Bear 

Lake Area Public Schools. Efforts 

will also be made to use the 

Instant Alert system to notify 

families of school closures. If no 

announcement is made, schools 

will be in session as scheduled. 

Parents may also check the 

District website or call the White 

Bear Lake Area School Closing 

Hotline number at 651-407- 

7540. Parents should use their 

discretion in sending children 

outside when the weather is 

extremely cold.

a personal identification number (PIN) on a keypad which will access their account. 

Deposits into student accounts can be made each day at school or on the District website. 

Students whose families qualify may receive free or reduced-price meals by 

completing the application available at their school. Applications can then be submitted 

to the Food Service Office at 4855 Bloom Avenue in White Bear Lake and online at
