Action Needed: Complete Annual Update to View Transportation and Student Schedules

Earlier this summer, Robbinsdale Area Schools launched the Annual Update for the 2026-27 school year, available through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. The Annual Update requires families to review and update important student information—including transportation preferences, parent/guardian contact information, emergency contacts, annual opt-outs, and more—all in one place.

Your action is needed: If you want to view your child’s schedule and bus route information, you will need to complete the Annual Update, if you have not already done so.
