Every day in school counts, and strong attendance is one of the best ways to set our students up for success! We love celebrating the dedication of our students, including these superstar award winners from last year who showed up ready to learn every single day. Attendance across our school has been fantastic so far this year, and we are so proud of the effort our students and families are making. Let's keep up the momentum—thank you for helping us make every day at Isanti Primary School count!

They are posing together in front of a light brick wall inside a school hallway.
Isanti Primary School is thrilled to celebrate our homecoming royalty! Our young pages were excited to attend the pep fest at their school and get a picture with their teachers! We want to send a huge good luck to our football players as they take the field for the big game—play hard and bring home the win! Go Big Blue!

​Growing together right from the start! ✨

At Cambridge-Isanti Early Learning, partnering with families is at the heart of what we do. Learning begins long before the first day of school, and we offer programs to support your child's growth from birth:

💙 Birth-to-3 Services: In-home visits to share learning ideas and connect you with local resources.
💙 Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE): Classes where parents and young children learn, play, and grow side by side.
💙 East Central Baby Café: Free, drop-in nursing support and connection for new parents.

These early connections help our youngest Bluejackets build a strong foundation for learning, growth, and future school experiences!

Behind every successful school day is a team of dedicated professionals helping students learn, grow, and succeed.

Cambridge-Isanti Early Learning Program Assistants and Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) Instructional Assistants are an important part of that team. They help students through daily routines, encourage learning, and keep the day moving smoothly.

Their presence helps learners feel safe, calm, and confident. It also gives students the support they need to take part, learn alongside their classmates, and feel a sense of belonging.

We are thankful for each of our Program Assistants and Instructional Assistants who make a difference for some of our youngest Bluejackets every day. 💙❤️

✨🏫 Back-to-school ready doesn’t just happen - it takes an incredible team working behind the scenes all summer long!

While our classrooms and hallways may have been a little quieter, our Buildings & Grounds team has been BUSY! From deep cleaning and basic repairs to moving furniture, maintaining our grounds and tackling countless projects - they’ve been working hard to make sure our schools are clean, safe and ready to welcome our Bluejackets back. 🧹🔧

There’s a lot that goes into preparing our buildings for a new school year, and much of it happens before most of us ever walk through the doors.

To our amazing crew - THANK YOU for the hard work, long days, and attention to detail that goes into getting our schools ready for Back to School! 👏

Because of you, we’re ready!

✨ Clean it. Fix it. Move it. MAKE IT HAPPEN! 💙❤️

Cambridge-Isanti Schools staff gathered today for an inspiring Back-to-School Kickoff as we prepare to welcome our students back for another great year! 🎒✨ The morning was filled with reconnecting, incredible student performances, and a warm welcome from Superintendent Dr. Nate Rudolph. Staff also learned from keynote speaker Steve Fredlund, who shared powerful lessons on doing the "unright thing"—learning how to break out of expected patterns to choose courage, purpose, and meaningful growth. Together, we are ready to educate, empower, and inspire, every student, every day! 💙

💙❤️ SUPPORTING EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY - IN EVERY WAY. At Cambridge-Isanti Schools, caring for our students goes beyond the classroom. We know that when basic needs are met, students are better able to learn, grow, and thrive. Through community-supported programs like Every Meal, Here to Help, and the Care Closet, students and families can access resources when they need a little extra support. 🍎 Every Meal helps provide food for students over weekends and school breaks. 💙 Here to Help connects students and families with confidential assistance and resources. 🎒 Care Closet provides access to basic necessities and everyday essentials. These programs are made possible through the generosity and care of our Bluejacket community - and help ensure that no student has to go without the essentials they need to succeed. Because supporting our students means supporting the whole student. 💙

Our Bluejackets are getting ready for kindergarten! 💙❤️ 🎒✏️ Through Gearing Up for Kindergarten, students are building skills, practicing routines, making connections, and getting a feel for what Kindergarten is all about - while having plenty of fun along the way! Judging by these five smiling faces (and five enthusiastic thumbs 👍), we’d say kindergarten is off to a pretty great start! We can’t wait to see all our Bluejackets back at school soon! 🚌📚
