🌅 Class of 2027 CIHS Seniors gathered early this morning to watch the sunrise together and kick off their final year of high school!
This special tradition gave our seniors a chance to connect, share motivation, and build togetherness as they prepare for graduation and their chosen paths ahead. Students enjoyed fun activities, reconnected with friends, and heard an inspiring message from CIHS teacher Mr. Clint Lundeen.
A special thank you to the CIHS Student Council and student council advisor Mr. Jim Woodbury for their leadership and hard work organizing this memorable event!
We are so proud of our senior class and excited to support them throughout the school year ahead. 🎓✨

✨🏫 Back-to-school ready doesn’t just happen - it takes an incredible team working behind the scenes all summer long!
While our classrooms and hallways may have been a little quieter, our Buildings & Grounds team has been BUSY! From deep cleaning and basic repairs to moving furniture, maintaining our grounds and tackling countless projects - they’ve been working hard to make sure our schools are clean, safe and ready to welcome our Bluejackets back. 🧹🔧
There’s a lot that goes into preparing our buildings for a new school year, and much of it happens before most of us ever walk through the doors.
To our amazing crew - THANK YOU for the hard work, long days, and attention to detail that goes into getting our schools ready for Back to School! 👏
Because of you, we’re ready!
✨ Clean it. Fix it. Move it. MAKE IT HAPPEN! 💙❤️

Cambridge-Isanti Schools staff gathered today for an inspiring Back-to-School Kickoff as we prepare to welcome our students back for another great year! 🎒✨
The morning was filled with reconnecting, incredible student performances, and a warm welcome from Superintendent Dr. Nate Rudolph. Staff also learned from keynote speaker Steve Fredlund, who shared powerful lessons on doing the "unright thing"—learning how to break out of expected patterns to choose courage, purpose, and meaningful growth.
Together, we are ready to educate, empower, and inspire, every student, every day! 💙
🚍💙 Our new educators hit the road to learn more about Cambridge and Isanti and get a closer look at the community our students and families call home!
And, of course, no New Educator Bus Tour would be complete without narration from the legendary Mark Solberg! 🎤🚌
Along the way, they learned a little history, saw local landmarks, and discovered more about what makes Cambridge-Isanti such a special place.
A great way to welcome our newest Bluejackets and help them get to know the area they’ll be serving! 💙❤️

💙❤️ SUPPORTING EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY - IN EVERY WAY.
At Cambridge-Isanti Schools, caring for our students goes beyond the classroom. We know that when basic needs are met, students are better able to learn, grow, and thrive.
Through community-supported programs like Every Meal, Here to Help, and the Care Closet, students and families can access resources when they need a little extra support.
🍎 Every Meal helps provide food for students over weekends and school breaks.
💙 Here to Help connects students and families with confidential assistance and resources.
🎒 Care Closet provides access to basic necessities and everyday essentials.
These programs are made possible through the generosity and care of our Bluejacket community - and help ensure that no student has to go without the essentials they need to succeed.
Because supporting our students means supporting the whole student. 💙
Our Bluejackets are getting ready for kindergarten! 💙❤️
🎒✏️ Through Gearing Up for Kindergarten, students are building skills, practicing routines, making connections, and getting a feel for what Kindergarten is all about - while having plenty of fun along the way! Judging by these five smiling faces (and five enthusiastic thumbs 👍), we’d say kindergarten is off to a pretty great start!
We can’t wait to see all our Bluejackets back at school soon! 🚌📚

🌎💧 This week, our Summer Targeted Services students took a behind-the-scenes tour of the City of Cambridge Wastewater Treatment Facility as part of this year's theme, Our Earth and Environment. Students discovered how wastewater is cleaned and returned safely to the environment while learning about the important role water treatment plays in protecting our community and our planet. 🌱
Experiences like these bring classroom learning to life, helping students connect science, environmental stewardship, and the world around them through hands-on exploration.
A big thank you to the City of Cambridge team for sharing their knowledge and giving our students an inside look at this essential community service! 💙❤️
