Good morning, PSI Families! Happy snowy Friday!
As a reminder, beginning Monday, November 16, students in Grades K-5 attending St. Louis Park Public Schools will transition to either the full-day hybrid learning model or the Distance Learning Academy.
Attached HERE is the document with details about the two educational delivery models for you to revisit. Superintendent Astein Osei also recorded a video message for students and families explaining the school district’s educational delivery model considerations. This information is also posted on the district and school websites.
After reviewing the information and considering your child’s and family’s experiences with distance and hybrid learning so far this school year, we are asking you to register your K-5 student(s) in full-day hybrid or the Distance Learning Academy by 12:00 p.m. on Monday, October 26th. One response (registration) is required per student.
The change in learning models is a result of feedback from St. Louis Park Public Schools stakeholders and the six educational delivery model considerations developed by the school district in response to the COVID-19 pandemic: Health and Safety; Staff Coverage; Student Learning; Staff Preparedness; Technology; and School Operational Preparedness.
Our ability to transition to the hybrid model is based on a thorough examination of these considerations. Please note, should any of these factors change predominantly, we may need to reconsider moving to a full-day hybrid model.
We will host a “Coffee with Corey” from 3:30-4:00 p.m. TODAY at this link: if you have any PSI specific questions. Otherwise, as always, feel free to reach out to me.
Take care!
Corey
