Health/Attendance Office

When a student will be absent for any reason, the parent is expected to notify the school at 952-232-2119. Please provide your child's name, teacher's name, grade level, and reason for absence.

If there is not a call from the parent or guardian, safety calls are then made to verify your child's location. If your child is absent from school and you have not phoned, please send a written excuse with your child when he/she returns to school.

More health information can be found on the District Health Pages

Literacy Learning Opportunities

The following are two web sites that are offered through Houghton Mifflin that provide information and opportunities, not only to parents, but also students. The first is www.eduplace.com. This is an informative site that outlines Houghton Mifflin’s programs. The second is www.bookadventure.org. This page is like Accelerated Reader, in the fact that the students read a book on their own and then take a comprehension test. The main differences are that Houghton Mifflin has a corporate sponsored incentive program, where students receive prizes for points earned and the tests are online. Check them out and enjoy!


This site was created to meet the needs of Orchard Lake Families. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, email Mark Deming at medeming@isd194.k12.mn.us. Last updated 2/8/10.
