Hello Peter Hobart Families,
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for working so diligently to make this an incredible first month of the school year! The amount of joy that I have seen throughout the building, and that I have personally felt, to have our community together again is tremendous!
While our plan is to keep our students in the building as much as possible, while balancing the health and safety of all, there are circumstances that necessitate quarantines of varying lengths and multiple students.
We are working closely with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to review our mitigation strategies and discuss additional future testing opportunities. .
The impact of quarantining can be challenging. Please understand that we are prioritizing student and staff health including the academic, social and emotional needs, as we make these decisions. We are grateful for your cooperation and support. We ask that you help us sustain in-person learning by doing the following:
- Keeping your student home if they are sick or displaying symptoms
- Making sure that students come to school each day wearing a mask (including the bus)
- Remind students of the importance of hand-washing and covering coughs and sneezes
- Test regularly as a prevention strategy
Peter Hobart Proud,
Kari Schwietering ~ Principal

PowerSchool Parent Portal Access |
|
As we welcome students, parents/guardians, and families for the 2021-22 school year, we are providing many of our communications electronically. Many of our systems rely on - and can be accessed through - the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Elementary families can create a PowerSchool account to access school information such as bus info, health forms, and more. If you have an account already set up for a high school or middle school student, you DO NOT need a new one, you can add your elementary student to the account.
All student, parent/guardian, and family information entered last year will be forwarded to this school year. You can now review and update the information as requested in the Required Forms communication.
An access code and password are needed the first time you set up the account or to add an elementary student to an existing account. If you created an account and forgot the username or password you chose, click the Forgot Username or Password link found on the PowerSchool Parent Portal sign in screen.
To get help with receiving your access code and password or if you do not receive a reset email from PowerSchool, please contact Thomas Odermatt, Peter Hobart Library Media Specialist, at odermatt.thomas@slpschools.org.
Click here to access the PowerSchool login page where you can also create a new account.

Kindness in Chalk Day - 2021 |
|
|
|
A HUGE thank you to the families who came out to support the Fall Book Fair. In addition to kids going home with some great books, pens, journals, and posters, together we raised $1800 in Scholastic Dollars to help buy learning materials for the classrooms, over 70 books were donated to classrooms. In addition, $21.70 was raised by all of those pennies in “round up to the nearest dollar” donations. Every bit matters and is appreciated! It was so fun to see so many kids excited about reading!
Thank you also to all who volunteered, especially PH parents Jessi S and Sarah R
