What better way to support Business Innovations students than shopping at their pop-up shop on Tuesday, December 10 (4:00-7:30) and/or Saturday, December 14 (9:00-1:00) at SLP High School in room C350?  These products/services make for great gifts for your SLP student, staff member or yourself! 

The 2021 Diploma Candidates are well on their way to fleshing out their research question for the 4000 word research report that they will do called the Extended Essay. Each student has a zero hour class for EE and also have a supervisor that is well-versed in the content of their research.

14 gracious and excited staff members gave of their time on Tuesday for the IB EE World Cafe. Students met and spoke to multiple teachers about their research ideas. Many of those teachers will supervise students as they complete their essay. 

A new journalism scholarship for graduating students from Echo is seeking to reconnect with alumni.  Please see  attached flyer  for more information.

College Representative Visit

SLPHS offers Driver's Education classes after school. Sections do fill up! For more information, click here.

Studies have attributed attendance as an indicator of academic success. At SLPHS, we expect students to be in class on time and remain in class for the entire hour. If your student misses a class or needs to leave school, please call the attendance line or submit documentation either  before the absence or within 24 hours to excuse the absence. Please leave messages at  952-928-6045 for all absences. Absences not excused within 24 hours, will remain unexcused. 

Excused absences may include but are not limited to the following categories: School related absences, i.e. sports, field trips, counseling visits, religious holiday observances and illness/medical related absences. Vacation may be excused as "Special Leave" when pre-approved by administrator.   As of January 2, 2019: missing the bus, oversleeping, car problems, letting the dog out, getting a ride to school, running late, studying for tests or babysitting for siblings are not considered to be excused absences.
