Digital Family Handbook
This year, the Family Handbook will be distributed digitally via email in late August instead of being mailed. If you would like a printed copy of the school calendar, which was previously included in the handbook, it will be available for pickup at your school.
Coming Soon: School-Based Health Center at Two Rivers High School
We're excited to announce the launch of a School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Two Rivers High School next school year, in partnership with Riverland Community Health. SBHCs provide essential services—like treatment for colds, sports and well-teen physicals, vaccinations, and more—right where students are during the school day. The center will initially serve Two Rivers students and aims to remove barriers to care, improving both health and learning outcomes. Stay tuned for more details this fall!
Introducing the New Two Rivers Showcase
Based on feedback from families, we're streamlining our fall events by combining the showcase and ninth-grade registration into one evening. Join us for the 2025 Two Rivers Showcase on Thursday, November 6, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Seventh and eighth-grade students and their families are invited to experience Two Rivers firsthand through student-led building tours, an activity fair, a presentation from the counselors, and a session on advanced coursework options. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with representatives from all departments, including Special Education and English Language Learners. We look forward to seeing you there!
Important Change: Earlier Fifth Grade Preview Nights!
To better support the transition to middle school, our Fifth Grade Preview Nights for fourth-grade families (in the 2025-26 school year) have been moved earlier in the year. Join us to meet teachers, tour the school, learn about the middle school experience and curriculum, and connect with other students and families. Event dates are:
- Heritage E-STEM Magnet School - Thursday, January 22, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
- Friendly Hills Middle School - Thursday, January 22, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Two Rivers Joins Minnesota’s Direct Admissions Program
Two Rivers High School is excited to be part of Minnesota’s Direct Admissions program starting this fall. This initiative, led by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, is designed to remove barriers to college by proactively admitting students to a range of Minnesota colleges and universities based on their academic records and projected graduation. Seniors who are on track to graduate will receive a personalized letter early in the school year, listing the colleges they’ve already been admitted to. While students still need to complete an application for each school they’re interested in, all participating colleges are waiving application fees as part of the program.
A full list of the 50+ participating institutions is available online here. We’ll be sharing more details in August, but we wanted incoming seniors and their families to be aware of this exciting opportunity now. In the meantime, you can find more information here.
