2023 Fall Community Education Catalog

FALL 2023

Classes, programs, and events for all ages.

The place we call home.

When I started my career in education, I was an English teacher.

One thing I loved about the subject area was the ability to be a story teller, to bring meaning to the content so students could connect the learning to their own lives. As I take this opportunity to introduce myself to you, I thought I’d open up with a story.

I grew up in small town Minnesota and enjoyed calling this state home throughout graduate school. After graduation, I decided to test myself and move 2,000 plus miles away to sunny, Southern California to truly ‘make it on my own’. Even though it was difficult leaving everything and everyone I knew, it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.

During my time in California, there was one question that people would always ask me more than anything else; “How can you live in a state that is so cold all of the time?”. I quickly responded that it wasn’t the North Pole, even though some winter nights felt that way. In an effort to clarify their beliefs, I would explain to them that if they simply focused on the weather as the reason not to live in Minnesota, they were missing the big picture. It wasn’t about the handfuls of cold and snowy days, it was about seeing the beauty of having four, unique seasons, the thrills of jumping into our 10,000 lakes on hot summer days, the natural beauty of trees, seeing deer and wildlife, fresh cut, green grass, and farm fields full of corn and soybeans. Most important, it all centered around the feeling of being home with people that cared for and supported you. Simply put, there’s no place like home.

I see this same spirit in Chisago Lakes. As I begin my 18th year as a Superintendent, I am thrilled to be here and call this my home for myself and my family. More importantly, I am honored to be a part of an organization and its communities that cares deeply about their students. Please know that our schools are a reflection of you; hard-working, dedicated, passionate, and committed to creating the best environment possible. These pillars are ones we hold dearly and will work diligently to honor in everything we do.

Part of the work we will be engaging in this year is to take care of our home at Chisago Lakes School District. Whether it is securing the entrances at Chisago Lakes Middle School and Taylors Falls Elementary School, repairing roofs around the District, or simply creating safe spaces in a variety of settings Districtwide, we will be sharing our story of how we look at addressing these final pieces that will address these necessary items for the next 25 years.

As we prepare for the start of another great school year, come and be a part of the Wildcat Nation. Attend a game, watch a band concert, come and work out at the WCC, or volunteer in our schools.

Regardless of how you are involved, it’s important to be involved.

Your presence and support are what makes Chisago Lakes School District a special place to be.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and Go Wildcats!

Brian Dietz Superintendent Chisago Lakes School District

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) Unique to Minnesota, Early Childhood and Family Education (ECFE) has been supporting families since 1973. ECFE is our staple program for infants, toddlers and their parents.

What will you and your child experience in ECFE? You and your child together will enjoy developmentally-appropriate activities.

Join other parents and a licensed Parent Education for discussion and parenting tips.

In separating classes, children play and learn together.

Separating/Non-Separating Most classes for the youngest learners have the parent component within the classroom, so babies and caregivers stay together. These are our "nonseparating" classes. As children become more independent, they remain in their space with parents in a separate room for discussion. These are our "separating classes".

Sibling Care Sibling Care is available for children 6 weeks through pre-K while you are attending an ECFE class with your infant/toddler. Sibling Care is available for all ECFE classes. Register for Sibling Care when you register for your ECFE class.

Registration is required. Monthly fee is $14 for 1 child or $20 for 2 children. If your annual household income falls below $25,000, Sibling Care is free.

All caregivers welcome!

While we use the word "parent", we recognize that not all family structures look the same. Any and all adults parenting and/or caregiving are welcomed in our classes.

Age Requirements Keep in mind to explore classes based on your child's age as of September 1, 2023.

Sliding Fee Scale ECFE class fees are charged on a sliding fee scale based on family household income. No family will be excluded due to the inability to pay.

Early Childhood Screening Early Childhood Screening is a free and simple check of how your child is growing, developing, and learning. Screening at 3.5 is preferred, but a child may be screened between the ages of 3 and the start of Kindergarten.

What to expect at a screening appointment Vision and hearing Height and weight Immunization review Large and small motor development Thinking, language, and communication skills Social and emotional development

Upcoming Dates September 28 October 17 November 21 January 11 February 1 February 2

Schedule an appointment

Screenings are done by appointment only.

Reasons to screen at age 3.5

Screening helps ensure your child is ready for school.

Any health or developmental concerns can be identified earlier and resources can be provided sooner.

Families will learn about community health and educational resources.

Who needs to be screened?

All children living in the Chisago Lakes School District who are 3, 4 or 5 years old and not currently enrolled in kindergarten need to participate in this free screening program before entering kindergarten. Children who attend Early Childhood Special Education Service programs may not have to participate in Early Childhood Screening.

Click here to schedule an appointment.

Is screening required?

Minnesota state law requires your child must be screened before entering Kindergarten in a public school. If a parent is a conscientious objector or does not want the screening for their child, they may give the district a signed statement and the child does not need to complete the screening (Minnesota Statutes, Section 121A.17, Subdivision 3(e).

View Minnesota Statutes, section 121A.16-19 and Minnesota Rules, part 3530.3000-4310 for more information. If you are planning to send your child to private or home school, the screening is not required by law; however, we still encourage you to participate. This is a great opportunity for you to find out how your child is developing.

What if my child was screened elsewhere?

Your child may also be screened at their Head Start, child and teen checkups or another district or clinic that offers developmental screening. The Chisago Lakes School District will need a copy of the screening summary before you child starts Kindergarten.

Fencing: Ages 6 years + Taught by Maria Benford

Whatever you are looking for in the sport of fencing there is something for everyone! Fencing is a vigorous sport that develops stamina, quick reactions, speed, accuracy of movement and excellent coordination. More than a game, fencing requires a mental attitude of self-discipline involving total manipulation of mind and body in perfect harmony. It utilizes natural body movement to create simple and effective self-protection techniques with the sword. All participants are encouraged to have fun no matter what their ability.

Attacking, defense, timing and intense tactics are all integrated into this beginning class. Whether you're fencing for a good work out, or gaining points for the Olympics, fencing is fun for the whole family. We provide everything needed to fence (mask, jacket, glove, and weapon). Fencers should come dressed comfortably (for freedom of movement) including long sweat pants and running shoes.
