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

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 Varicella (Chicken Pox) or physician verification
of having had the disease (month/year).

GO BeArS!
• 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).
• Notice: Beginning in fall 2014-15 students entering

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 parent notification
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 Facebook
page, or call the White
Bear Lake Area School Closing
Hotline number at 651-4077540. Parents should use their
discretion in sending children
outside when the weather is
extremely cold.

The school district’s Nutrition Services Program provides nutritious breakfasts and
lunches at each school. Milk is included with meals and may also be purchased separately.
The White Bear Lake Area Schools offer a computerized meal payment system. Money
is deposited into the student’s individual account. During meal time, students will enter
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
