Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
Happy New Year to you all. We have enjoyed seeing our students again this week as we work together to help them grow! We know that our students have questions about the events that occurred yesterday in Washington, D.C., and I encourage you to see below for a few links of how to talk with your child about what they might have seen or heard. In St. Louis Park Public Schools, we are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment that energizes and enhances the spirit. Each child is a gift, and we want each to know that they have adults who are available to help with questions or concerns that they might have.
Please note that we will not have classes next Wednesday, January 13th through Wednesday, January 20th. We will resume classes on Thursday, January 21st using the Elementary Transition Timeline (see below). Our classroom teachers want to connect with each of you about your child's progress and their brilliance. Please see the Special Edition La Prensa sent earlier today to sign up for a time to meet with your child's current teacher. All families will be mailed a letter next week regarding their teacher for the second half of the year, either for in-person or the Distance Learning Academy.
As always, thank you for your partnership on behalf of our amazing children.
Most sincerely,
Corey

Wellness Resources from Sra. Gregor and Sra. Moore |
In reaction to yesterday’s events at the Capitol, it is important for us to take time for ourselves to process, and to help our children process these events so they can feel safe, seen, heard, and valued during this time.
Below are some resources for ways to hold space and share feelings in your family. This is a great opportunity to lean in to conversations with your child.
For families:
Here are also some mental wellness videos:

Join Us for Drama Club Activities! |
It is unlikely that there will be a Drama Club performance this year, but that doesn't mean that we can't gather to do theater-related activities! Students in 3rd-5th grade are invited to participate in this year's activities, and there will be no cost to participate.
