Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
I am grateful for your continued support of our children's education. Every day, I see how much our families and our staff members care for the well-being of our amazing kids, and it makes my heart smile. Through continued authentic relationships and by gathering multiple perspectives, I am confident that we will continue to adapt and grow to provide opportunities so that our children find success. Thank you for your partnership on this journey.
Have a great week, stay healthy, and keep reading!
Your partner,
Corey

FREE Groceries for Families Who Qualified for Free or Reduced-Price Meals During the 2020-2021 School Year |
Families in our district who qualify for free or reduced-price meals are now eligible for additional emergency nutritional benefits offered from the Federal government.
These benefits are provided by Federal “Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer” funds (P-EBT); a temporary food benefit to families with children who would have received free and reduced-price meals if schools were open. These additional benefits may be retroactive to September 2020, depending on when eligibility for free or reduced-meals is determined.
Families who qualify will receive separate electronic grocery cards for each student in the family. The cards would include funds (approximately $6.82/day) for each day your student was in distance learning during the school year. Cards will be mailed from the State of Minnesota in late March 2021.
If you have already qualified for free or reduced-price meals earlier this school year, you don’t need to do anything because your family will automatically receive these new Federal nutritional benefits.

February 21-27 is Minnesota School Bus Driver Appreciation Week |
February 21-27 is Minnesota School Bus Driver Appreciation Week. This year has been one like never before and our bus drivers at Park-Adam, MTI and Northstar have stepped up with great ideas and a great attitude to make so many things happen for our students.
They have taken on new essential roles during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as delivering meals, distance learning supplies and Wi-Fi hot spots to families, and transporting students with the skill and flexibility needed to respond to changing schedules and student needs.
They implemented new and rigorous health and safety protocols to transport students to and from school safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. They also supported us in hosting our first-ever, socially-distanced parking lot graduation and parade of graduates.
Check out this AMAZING STORY from KARE-11 about one of our bus drivers - featured as part of School Bus Driver Appreciation Week! The story was aired yesterday on KARE-11 Sunrise.
Thank you for your continued service to the students, families and staff of St. Louis Park Public Schools!
