Minnesota Department of Education Student Access and Opportunity Calendar: Utilize this calendar to find the next Migrant Student Information Form (MSIF) Workshop or Making Connections Workshop: CALENDAR  

Migrant Student Information Form Workshop: The Minnesota Department of Education contracts the Migrant Education Services team at TVOC to collect minimum data elements of every migratory student throughout the state, which is federally required.  

We collect this data in the Migrant Student Information Form (MSIF) Excel Workbook. Once we collect the required minimum data elements, the Tri-Valley Opportunity Council Data team enters them into our state’s database (MIS2000). 

We want to try something new this coming school year to support all our districts with migratory students in collecting the required data. We will hold monthly workshops open to the districts that will focus on the MSIFs. No need to register for the workshop. Just click on the link to attend. See you there! 

Making Connections Workshop: Join us for a free Making Connections Workshop! 

Are you passionate about supporting highly mobile families? Connect with fellow educators and the Minnesota Migrant Education Program team as we discuss collaboration efforts and innovative ways to help remove barriers for migratory students. Join one of the Making Connections Workshops to learn more about Minnesota migratory students.
