Welcome back! We’re so glad to have your children with us for the 2026–2027 school year!
To keep you informed and involved, we’re continuing to use Rooms, our two-way communication tool that helps you stay connected with your child’s teachers and school staff.
And this year, the experience will be even better.
To get the most out of the new updates, be sure to download or update the Minerva Local School District App available in the App Store and Google Play. It’s the easiest way to get messages, announcements, and updates—all in one place, and always in our school’s brand.
