Aquila Elders' Wisdom Children's Song Recording - Now Available |
|
The District's four elementary schools each held an Elders' Wisdom Children's Song (EWCS) celebration in the past three weeks.
EWCS incorporates the tools of community organizing, education, and celebration through storytelling in song and spoken word. At the heart, EWCS is an educational process called collective song-writing. It combines the collection of oral history, or oral literature, with the teaching of song-writing and poetry.
This year, through our Talent Development program, all fourth grade classes across the District participated in this amazing program, concluding with a performance showcasing their amazing talents and brilliance.
Each class adopted an elder from their community to tell his or her story. Each story was recorded, transcribed, analyzed and interpreted by students. Inspired by the life story of the elder, a song or spoken word piece was written and then performed by the class, for the community.

Transportation Changes for 2022-23 School Year |
|
As a part of districtwide budget reductions, St. Louis Park Public Schools will be making several changes to student transportation for the 2022-23 school year. Transportation is a vital part of the day for many of our students and families. Reductions in transportation and other non-classroom areas will allow the district to reduce the impact of reductions on classrooms and programs. The transportation changes will result in budget savings of $325,000.
In the coming days, the district will begin to communicate with families who are impacted by these transportation changes. A summary of the changes is included below:
- Expanded no bus zones for students residing in St. Louis Park, including the establishment of a no bus zone for Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School.
- Condensed bus stops for secondary students.
- Expanded no bus zones for students who open enroll from Minneapolis.
- New elementary school boundaries for Minneapolis students.
- High school students and families will be asked to opt-in for transportation.
