Dear Nicollet Raider School Community,

 We have completed our first two weeks of in-person learning as a school district. I have been impressed and feel blessed each day to work with all of our students. In my 20+ years of education, I have never anticipated the start of a school year more than this one. I admit seeing the students on each of the first 4 days of school brought a tear to my eye.

 I want to thank everyone for being patient, flexible, and understanding. It seems like we are constantly having to overcome new challenges as we move forward. Working together we have overcome a tremendous amount. Working together we will continue to overcome challenges.

 Thank you to our parents for sending us your students! We are lucky to be able to work with a student body who has been so impressive to start the school year. The students have seen a change from last year to this year with some of our processes and procedures. Great job goes out to our students for being able to adapt and understand why we have these in place!

We will continue to have a great year!

Respectfully,

Mr. Todd Toulouse

Principal
