AT SPSL,
COMMUNICATION IS KEY!
School to parent communication is necessary here at SPSL. We have moved to paperless communication so the school office will contact parents via:
1. Email
2. SPSL Website (www.spsl.net) with a focus on the Daily Announcements page
3. E-Newsletter which is emailed out twice a month.
It is important that the school office has an up to date email address for your family and that you do not unsubscribe from school communications.
Teachers and grade levels will also communicate with parents by email, Classroom page on SPSL website, social media, or daily/weekly folder. The school also has a Facebook and Instagram page. These pages may highlight school announcements, but were created to offer a fun view of what is happening in our building.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE
The Education Committee is a subcommittee of the School Board. The main purpose of the Education Committee is to act as a liaison between parents and the Administration/School Board. The committee is advisory to the Administration/School Board on such issues as school uniform, parental concerns, and school policy formation, and then makes related policy recommendations to the School Board. Click here for a list of school parents who are currently serving as Education Committee Representatives.

RACE FOR EDUCATION
Thank you to SPSL students and parents for participating in the 16th Annual Race for Education on May 1, 2020. The Race for Education was virtual this year to embrace social distancing guidelines related to the novel coronavirus. Instead of running/walking together as a school on the SPSL soccer fields, our students walked/ran/exercised at home or in their neighborhood. SPSL received generous sponsorships from around the country which totaled over $55,000 after expenses! Way to go, Panthers!

SCHOOL SWEATSHIRTS
As the weather begins to cool, your son or daughter may be in need of a school uniform sweatshirt. School sweatshirt orders are filled on a weekly basis from inventory kept in stock. Order forms can be found on the school website here.
The order form for school uniform polo shirts can also be found on our website. Please note these polo shirts are not kept on hand and will have to be ordered.

SPSL WATER BOTTLES
This year, all SPSL students are asked to bring a refillable water bottle to school each day. Why not show your Panther spirit with your water bottle! SPSL has Panther water bottles available for purchase for just $5 each! To buy a water bottle, send cash/check to school with your child in an envelope marked “Attention Development Office”. We will send the water bottles home with your child so please also let us know their name and homeroom. Please include a note if the item is a gift that you would like to pick up rather than sending it home with your child.

INFORMATION SHARING
Occasionally St. Pius X and St. Leo Parishes may request information about our school families (such as name, address, phone number, cell phone number, special needs of the family, etc.). Because we are a two-parish school with St. Pius X Church and St. Leo Church being our major supporters, we will share this information unless you request that we do not. If you do not want your information shared with St. Pius X and/or St. Leo Parishes, please call the school office by Friday, September 11, 2020.
