From Your Principal
Hello Peter Hobart families,

Below you will see two different schedules to follow.

The first schedule is the teacher packing schedule for classrooms. Please know that on the two dates your grade level teacher will be packing their classroom, they will not be available to post assignments or be available for student contact. To follow social distancing guidelines, we have built the staggered schedule below for teachers. We need to be ready for construction to begin on Monday, May 18th.

The second schedule is for families to come to school at designated dates and times to pick up student belongings . The pick up location will take place in the front of our school in the drive up bus lane. Please drive up, share your student's name and their teacher's name, and a team member will bring the bag to your vehicle. To follow social distancing expectations we ask that you only come during your scheduled dates and times.

If there are belongings left after May 12th, we will do our best to contact you to make arrangements.

Thank you all for your grace, cooperation, understanding and partnership!

Peter Hobart Proud,
Kari Schwietering
Principal

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Family Distance Learning Survey
SLP Parents & Guardians: We would love to hear from you and get feedback about our current distance learning plan. Our hope is to collect your feedback and use it to reflect on our current distance learning instruction and to plan for future distance learning experiences.

This survey is anonymous and will take less than five minutes to complete:  Family Distance Learning Survey  

The Family Distance Learning Survey will be open until May 8th. We encourage all of our families to take the survey. Thank you to our students in the Superintendent Student Advisory Group and SOAR for helping in the creation of this survey.
Distance Learning Will Continue until End of School Year
Governor Walz announced that the distance learning period will continue through the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. School Principals, Program Managers, and Teachers are all working through creative ways to re-imagine events and celebrations to honor students at the end of the school year. Schools and Programs will share updates about each event as plans are finalized. 

Please know that we are thinking about you and are here to support you and your students in any way we can. We appreciate your continued partnership and support of St. Louis Park Public Schools.
Technology Access for Students
Since the outset of distance learning, District staff have spent countless hours ensuring that students and families have the technology and internet connectivity that they need to be successful. 

St. Louis Park Public Schools have delivered more than 1,800 devices to families in need. Staff continue to work with the City of St. Louis Park and other partners to find solutions for families that are still experiencing challenges related to internet access. Recently, the District purchased mobile hotspots to alleviate these challenges. Students and families experiencing issues with school-issued devices or internet connectivity, are asked to connect with their teacher.
