Transportation to and from school by bus is provided for students based on the distance they live from the school. Drivers have been charged with the responsibility of operating the bus according to safety rules. Students are urged to cooperate with this effort to furnish transportation that is both safe and efficient. The bus ride to and from school is a part of the school day, and school expectations and rules apply.
Reminders:
All school rules apply to the bus ride.
Bus riding is a privilege not a right.
Safety is important on our busses.
Respect the driver.

There will be an adult meeting for all those who have students in the play on Monday, November 26 at 6:15 p.m. in the choir room (124) at the middle school. At this meeting, we will discuss very important week of the show details and explain all of the late night and weekend rehearsals.

If you have any of these items that your child has outgrown and/or no longer uses, please bring them to the health office.
With much appreciation,

Contribute To This Year's Yearbook
|
|
St. Louis Park Middle School has new advisers for the 2018-19 yearbook. We, Maria Johnson and Lisa Becker, are excited about the opportunity to help gather memories for your students, but we would love to have your help!
The best yearbooks are filled with many photos of a variety of events and students; learning, performing, competing and having fun. We have an easy way for you to share photos of our Middle Schools students in their co-curricular activities, so that we have many to choose from.
Our yearbook company, Josten’s, has created RePlayIt, a free app to share photos with us. You can find it in the App Store or in Google Play Store to download to your mobile phone. We gave it a try and it works great! All we did was download the app, registered with St. Louis Park Middle School and took some photos to share. Thank you for helping capturing the moments of our students’ year!

Did you know that there is a way you can help teachers in our building make cool things happen? You can directly impact the materials and resources our kids have with your social media help or your financial donations. Ask your kids if they like using the Hokki stools in the school, or the standing desks, or the various games found in different OT classes. Most of those items have come from teachers writing grant requests on DonorsChoose. This site allows teachers to write a request for items they have on their wish lists for their classrooms. Things that the teachers think will help your kids. Please check out the various projects our teachers have posted and think about donating or sharing on your social media accounts! We have teachers looking for basketball jerseys, for books for the whole-school reading project, for fitness bands to teach international connections, so many ideas! Our school has funded 63 ideas so far, help us keep it going!
