High School Athletic Events Expectations
Spectators will be allowed to attend St. Louis Park High School athletic events to start the 2021-22 school year. Here are some event expectations to keep in mind:

  • Masks are required to be worn properly by all spectators attending contests in District buildings.
  • Please remember the following are prohibited at athletic contests at District venues: Outside food or drink, face paint, signs and pets.
  • All student spectators are expected to sit in the bleachers or provided seating.
  • There is no re-entry.
  • Bags and backpacks are not allowed in the stadium.
  • Any student in middle school or younger will need to be accompanied by a paying adult to attend all St. Louis Park High School home athletic events where admission is charged. Student tickets will only be sold to the adult responsible for the student. Paying adults agree to supervise students for the entirety of the event.
Introducing Our New Website
You may have noticed that in mid-July the District unveiled a new website design. Benefits of the new website design include the following:

  • A cleaner, less-cluttered look
  • More layout and design options to display content to users
  • A better mobile experience on smartphones and other devices
  • Integrated social media feeds on the district and school pages
  • More options to display visual content including photos and videos
  • Ability to use the website as both a marketing tool to prospective families AND an information center for current staff, students and families

We recognize that with this change, staff and families might experience some challenges finding specific content that they had grown accustomed to finding in a particular place on the previous website. To avoid coming across an error page, you will want to clear all of your old bookmarks and links to the previous website and establish new bookmarks and links.
