A huge thanks to our Student Council for organizing another spirit week (coming next week). It was great to come together as a school to kick things off with a pepfest today. Although the weather is cold we are looking forward to the evening activities to spend time together as classmates. Thank you Sarah Lindenberg, Student Council Advisor, for all of the coordination and planning. Also a huge thanks to all of our student council teams that will coordinate and run our evening events.
We also continued planning for the future this week as we held a meeting to check-in on our locker room and administrative office relocation projects. There will be some inconviences for us this spring, but we know it will be worth it to have new spaces that better meet our needs. Thank you to the community of St. Louis Park for voting to support these updates. Have a great weekend!

Start and End Time Study
|
District Announces Four Options for New Start-End Times; Requests Feedback From Stakeholders
In alignment with its Strategic Plan, St. Louis Park Public Schools is in process to complete a School Start-End Times Study during the fall and winter of 2018-19. The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal schedule to meet the overall health, academic, and social/developmental needs of all K-12 students.
A Project Team, made up of students, parents, teachers, staff, administrators, and transportation consultants have met three times since November and have developed four options for stakeholders to consider.
During the month of February, District leaders will be gathering feedback from stakeholders regarding the four options. The Project team will then meet again in March and put forth a recommendation for the School Board to consider at their two regularly scheduled March meetings.
Please note that specific start and end times are not listed, but instead are organized by tiers. Tier 1 is the earliest start time, followed by Tier 2 and finally Tier 3, which would include the school(s) with the latest start time(s). Specific start times and budget implications will be revealed when a final recommendation is made to the School Board.
Current Schedule
Tier 1 | Middle School
Tier 2 | PSI and High School
Tier 3 | Aquila, Peter Hobart and Susan Lindgren

The MN Student Survey will be given to students in grades 9 and 11 on February 26th or 28th.
The Minnesota Departments of Education, Health, Human Services and Public Safety are contracting with Texas A&M University's Public Policy Research Institute and Gibson Consulting to administer the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) between January and May 2019. The MSS has been the most consistent source of data about the health and well-being of Minnesota's students for the past 30 years.
This voluntary survey asks students about their activities, opinions, behaviors and experiences. Students respond to questions on school climate, bullying, out-of-school activities, health and nutrition, emotional and mental health, relationships, substance use and more. All responses are anonymous.
Students will access the survey through a general URL during their science classes. No login credentials will be needed. They will simply enter a school code to connect their response to our school. It is our hope that information from this survey will help us as a school and district to continue to meet the needs of our students.
