What a great week for "E"xcellence at St. Louis Park High School. Two of our teachers received recognition for being among the best in Minnesota.
Kara Cisco was named the Minnesota Council for Social Studies Teacher of the Year.
Kara is a teacher that puts her students at the center of her work. As I visit her classroom, I see students guiding their learning with masterful facilitation from Ms. Cisco. Kara's passion to exemplify Park PRIDE by building "R"elationships and "I"ncluding the voices of many perspectives are just a couple reasons why this honor is well deserved. Thanks for all you do for our students at SLP. Read More
John Myszkowski was named as a candidate for Minnesota Teacher of the Year.
John is a teacher I have worked with as a colleague and as an administrator. I appreciate John on both levels. As a teammate he is collaborative and dedicated to growing as an educator. In his classroom he seeks to "I"nclude sources and musical pieces that are representative of our students and the world around us. Mr. Myzskowski's pursuit of "E"xcellence is also evident every time our Choir performs. Thank you John and good luck as the Teacher of the Year process continues.

Cold and influenza ("flu") season is upon us and we are beginning to see increasing numbers of students with influenza symptoms. These include fever, cough, sore throat, headache, body aches, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.
Keep your student at home and consider seeking medical attention if they have typical flu symptoms as listed above or any of the following:
- Fever of 100 degrees or more. Students need to stay home for 24 hours after their temperature returns to normal without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
- Vomiting or diarrhea. Students need to stay home until 24 hours after the last episode.
- Any uncontrolled cough.
- Any rash for which you do not know the cause. Check with your family physician/clinic before sending the student to school.
- Strep Throat. May return 12 hours following the first dose of antibiotics, if fever free and well enough to fully participate in school.
If you would like to speak to the school nurse about your student's illness please call Susanne Otos at 952-928-6108
