Early Out Information

Parents & Guardians,

As part of the Minnesota Read Act, enacted by the MN Legislature, undersigned by Gov Walz on

5/24/24, beginning July 1, 2024, each district and charter school must provide teachers and

instructional support staff with responsibility for teaching reading with training on evidence-based

reading instruction that the Department of Education approves. There are 3 models each district

had to choose from. The three models are LETRS, CAREIALL, and Core. Climax-Shelly School

decided on the CAREIALL model that was developed by Minnesota State University specifically for this

purpose.

For our staff to participate in the CAREIALL training, we need to add several early releases to

our calendar. We realize that this update could impact numerous households’ work schedules and

routine. An updated district calendar will soon be updated as well. We have worked hard to make this

the least impactful to the families while being the most impactful for our instructional staff.                                               

On the following dates, we will be releasing at 2:15:

December 18, 2024

January 8, 2025

January 15, 2025

January 22, 2025 

January 29, 2025                                        

​Again, we realize this is an imposition to many and we truly appreciate your flexibility.
