Officials say the activities will be focused on support, connection, and play for students at all grade levels.
Support services from the Washburn Center for Children and the Minnesota Department of Education will be on hand, along with extra security.

Memorials held for students
The backstory:
On Sunday, mourners gathered to honor the life of 10-year-old Harper Moyski. Harper and 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel were killed in the Aug. 27 attack when a gunman opened fire through a window while students were gathered in the church for morning mass. A funeral service was held last weekend for Fletcher.
Twenty-one other students and staff members were hurt in the shooting. Most were discharged from the hospital in the hours and days following the shooting. On Saturday, the family of 12-year-old Sophia Forchas shared an update on her condition, saying the girl has made a miraculous recovery so far after being shot in the head.
