Is bussing available?
In order for our SHCS students to have bussing through Robbinsdale, our school day would have started later, our students would ride the bus with high school students and catch a transfer bus at Cooper or Armstrong, we have decided to have parents drive their child(ren) to school.   The bus ride would have been 45-50 minutes each way. We have extended day for families.

Do you offer Extended Day?

Are you accredited?
