64 SECONDS to Learn Up To
25 THINGS about St. Louis Park High School
|
|
|
|
|
With Semester 1 finals behind us we are working hard today to finalize grades. This mid year point is a good time for students to reflect on the first half of the year and revisit their post secondary planning. Semester 2 will bring new electives and a chance to refocus efforts in year long courses.
As a staff we will soon be revisiting our commitments made at the beginning of the year. We also will be tying these efforts to our districts strategic plan. This is an example of students and staff participating together in the process of learning. Thank you parents and families for all of the ways you have supported our school this semester. I look forward to our continued partnership in the new semester.

PowerSchool Parent Portal

The PowerSchool public portal and mobile app will closed for semester 1 grading Thursday, January 24 at 3:00PM. It will reopen Friday, February 1 by 3:00PM.

All students can pick up a schedule on Monday, January 28th in the cafeteria. If students have Powerschool on their device, that schedule should be accurate as of Monday morning if there are any last minute changes. New this semester, lunch times will be placed on student schedules.
On the first day of the semester, all students should follow their schedule as it appears.
Counselors will be starting Tuesday to deal with any schedule conflicts. If there is a schedule issue, changes will be made for the following reasons:
1. A wrong course appears
2. A course has been failed
3. A class is missing
4. There is a class conflict
There will be no changes for teacher or time of day preference.
Students with schedule concerns can stop in on Tuesday in the Counseling Office (A205) and sign up for a time slot to see their counselor.

Parking Permit Sales for 2nd Semester

Student parking permits will be sold before school in the Student Office starting Monday, January 28th. They are $50.00 per semester, sold on a first come first serve basis, and sell out very quickly. Students will need to present a valid driver's license at the time of purchase.
All outstanding obligations will need to be cleared before purchasing a parking permit.
Student parking is allowed only in the student parking lot, which is located on the west side of the high school off 33rd street.
Vehicles parked on school grounds must display a valid current parking tag that should be hung from the rearview mirror and visible through the front windshield. Vehicles without a parking permit or parked in an unauthorized parking spot will be given two warnings and then towed at the owner's expense.
