Anoka-Hennepin is committed to providing special education services to students with disabilities who continue to require specialized instruction in order to address transition needs as determined by the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team. Transition programming supports students with special needs who have completed high school but have not received their diploma and require specialized instruction in order to transition to living and working independently in the community.
Coming Fall 2024
Pathways and Bridges transition programs will combine into one program - Two Rivers Transition Program at Franklin. We will be located at 215 W Main St. Anoka, MN 55303.
Pathways Program
Pathways is a secondary special education program designed for students with educational disabilities and transition needs who are between the ages of 18 and 22 in post-secondary education and training, employment, and independent living. The program offers a functional and vocational curriculum with a focus on the acquisition of skills to promote increased independence in the community and a successful transition from high school to adult life.
Program components include:
- Employment experiences including vocational and job training
- Community-based learning experiences
- Classroom instruction in transition areas (postsecondary education and training, employment, independent living)
- Hands-on learning opportunities
- Home living experiences
- Recreation and leisure activities
- Social skill instruction and support
- Additional resources available for individual needs, growth and increased independence

Communication methods
-
AHlert
Anoka-Hennepin families now have the ability to choose their preferred communication method(s) for receiving automated messages. The service is being provided through a program called AHlert and will share items such as principal updates, lunch account balances, and winter weather closings.
Families can choose whether they’d like to receive phone calls, text messages, email, or a combination of the three. Follow these step-by-step directions in the AHlert program to get started:
- Login to A-HConnect and select the AHlert icon.
- Once you’ve reached the AHlert screen, select the “calling preferences” link on the right-hand side.
- Check or uncheck the “active” box to enable or disable delivery devices.
- Click the “save changes” button on the bottom left.
Note: If there is not a cell phone number listed in the system for you or the phone number or email shown is incorrect, please contact your child/children’s school(s).
Families will still be able to receive winter weather-related school closing and other emergency information through the venues they’re familiar with (website, e-news, social media); this service is simply an addition to these regular communications.
If you signed up to receive text notifications sometime in the last two years (called Weather Alert in 2013-14, AHlert in 2014-15), you’ll need to re-subscribe using the directions above.
As always, call 763-506-HELP (4357) with questions.
