Back to School - Fall 2025

At White Bear Lake Area Schools, providing safe, nurturing learning environments is central to our mission. Safety continues to be a top priority across our district. Our staff are trained in comprehensive safety protocols, and we regularly practice emergency drills with students to ensure everyone knows how to respond in a crisis. In addition, we’ve made important updates to our building security systems to help us monitor and respond to potential concerns more effectively.

We are also fortunate to have strong partnerships with our local law enforcement and first responders. This summer, they conducted training exercises in our buildings to support their preparedness and strengthen our shared commitment to safety. 

Families can learn more about district wide efforts to provide safe and secure learning environments, including the Standard Response Protocols, at our Safety & Security web page.

As we look ahead to the start of the school year, there’s so much excitement in the air. You’ll see our staff warmly welcoming students in key areas around our schools and members of our district leadership team will be on-site as well, offering extra support during the first week to ensure a smooth, positive start for everyone.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. We’re looking forward to a safe and successful year ahead.
