December notes from Change to Chill:

For students and adults alike, balancing life's to-do's with what is most important to you can be a struggle. The first step to finding more balance in life is to identify your values and compare them to the activities you spend your time doing to see if they match up. Start by having a conversation with your family about balance in life - discuss exercise, school work, self-care, alone time, family time, time with friends and whatever else your value items are! Then go through the Values Circle Chart activity to compare how you spend your time with those things that are most important to you.

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.
