Now we want to know… are you a “first day photo in the same spot every year” family, or a “we were lucky to get everyone out the door on time” family?

Ready or not, the first day of school is almost here!
Heads up for Tuesday morning drop-off: the Coney St. 4-way street light will be partially closed. 🚧 Check out the map to plan your route before heading out! Here’s to a smooth first day!!

Message from Perham Public Schools:
As we prepare for the first day of school on Tuesday, September 1, families should be aware of ongoing road construction that may impact travel to and from school.

Crews are scheduled to continue paving along Coney Street and the surrounding project area on Monday and Tuesday. The Coney Street intersection will have lane closures, flaggers, and pilot cars in place, and delays are expected, particularly during Tuesday's first day of school traffic.

Families are encouraged to plan, allow extra travel time, and consider an alternate route when possible.

Construction schedules can change due to weather, equipment, or other unforeseen circumstances. We will share updates with families as soon as possible if there are significant changes.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as this work continues in our community. We look forward to welcoming students back for the first day of school!
