Tips for Parents

Parent Resources

  • We share tips with our families on how to make class days more efficient--whether through carpooling or taking advantage of the amenities in our neighborhood.
  • We connect you with resources that help you plan for high school and beyond. 
  • We welcome parents to enroll in some of our classes with their students. 
    • Our Wednesday art classes are open to parents, so if you're ready to develop your latent artistic talent, you can get in on the fun and learning in  Suzann Beck's Portraits in Pastel Pencil class. Adult members may take these classes with or without their students in grades 5-12

Commuting

  • Driving your students to and from their classes at Mid-Metro Academy costs time and money. We get it! Many of our families travel quite a distance. We’ve had families drive in from as far away as Faribault, Wisconsin, and even Duluth. They’re willing to log all those miles because of our unique classes and awesome teachers! We appreciate the commitment it takes to get your students here, especially during the winter. We want to make your day more convenient.
  • Here are some ideas to help you reduce your fuel expense and time on the road.

 

  • Share the Driving Duties
    • Check the Carpooling Forum on our website to find other parents who are looking for ridesharing options.

 

  • Hang Out at a Nearby Coffee Shop
    • Rather than driving home and back again, you may want to remain in the neighborhood while your student is in class. Our charming area of Roseville is replete with coffee shops. All of the following are within a five-minute drive from our campus:
      • Caribou
      • Dunn Brothers
      • Starbucks

 

  • Get Your Shopping Done
    • Plan your weekly shopping trips around your student’s class time. There are plenty of popular stores nearby, including: Lunds & Byerly's, Target, Trader Joe’s , Walmart, Rosedale Center.
