The catalog explained to parents what they needed to do to enroll their child, when and how. A ten page workbook section was included to help parents identify their child's needs, track school visits, rate school visits, prioritize findings, and how to apply and enroll via registration forms tucked in to the inside back cover.
The 68 page catalog included a general introductory section in English, Spanish, Hmong and Somali languages. Each school featured a unique profile and all Minneapolis schools were profiled; 42 Pre-K-8, six middle schools, and nine High Schools.
