Welcome to our brief version of our 6425 Newsletter for the short week. Although the work week is shorter, there has been some great learning and collaboration that has happened. On Monday, I was able to observe Mrs. Hadassa Slager's Hebrew class. Students were focused on "P"urpose and "E"xcellence as they prepared for future assessments. Students worked together in groups to discuss a topic in a format that models future assessments. It was great to see students using Hebrew to express themselves and discuss their topics.
We also hosted one of our school tours for parents considering St. Louis Park High School for their future high school. "I"nclusiveness was displayed as we welcomed families and shared who we are. Park Pride was a large part of my message. Thank you to all of our staff, students, and family members for all of the ways you exhibit Park PRIDE.

"Has your student been recognized for having #parkPRIDE? Students and staff submit nominations to the #parkPRIDE Schoology page, recognizing their classmates for showing purpose, relationships, inclusiveness, dependability or excellence. Select nominations are chosen for publication on Schoology daily. Take a look and see if your student has been recognized here. Not on Schoology? Contact Ellen George (george.ellen@slpschools) or Deb Muralt (muralt.debra@slpschools.org).
