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:
If you already have a PowerSchool Parent Portal account, you DO NOT need a new one. All student, parent/guardian, and family information entered last year will be forwarded to this school year.  BEGINNING MONDAY, AUGUST 30 you can review and update the information (if needed) as requested in the Required Forms Mailing.

Letters will be mailed today (August 27) to all students and parents/guardians who NEED TO CREATE a PowerSchool Parent Portal account. Parents/Guardians with a kindergarten student, those who are NEW to St. Louis Park Public Schools, and returning families who have not created an account previously will receive a letter with instructions and access information.
2021-22 Required Forms to be Completed Before School Starts
This year we are requesting that students, parents/guardians, and families complete the majority of the required forms for the school year electronically. Forms included are:

  • Annual Student Update
  • Student Meal Accounts
  • Application for Educational Benefits
  • Bus Information & Tracking
  • Student Digital Equity Survey
  • Technology Device Loan Agreement
  • Seesaw (K-5) & Schoology (6-12) Use Agreements
  • Student ID Badges
  • … and more!

Our goal is to increase efficiency for families by completing forms one time and electronically, eliminate the expense of printing and mailing forms, and reduce the environmental impact of paper and ink. We hope you find this helpful in preparing for the 2021-22 school year. And we ask for your patience as we implement this new process.

Website Tips & Feedback Form
Mid-July the District unveiled a new website design. The site is dynamic and readily accessible on any device. We recognize that staff and families are experiencing challenges accessing information on the new site. In general, 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.

Here are some tips on how to find high-traffic areas of the website:

School Pages: Some users have had difficulty finding individual school pages on the new website, especially on their mobile devices. The url's for each school page has also changed so previous bookmarks will no longer work. A drop-down menu for schools is located both in the navigation bar in the upper right hand corner of the District homepage, and in the main Menu accordion feature near the upper right hand corner of the District homepage. The following links will take you to each school page:

Aquila Elementary School | https://aq.slpschools.org/
Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School | https://psi.slpschools.org/
Peter Hobart Elementary School | https://ph.slpschools.org
Susan Lindgren Elementary School | https://sl.slpschools.org
St. Louis Park Middle School | https://ms.slpschools.org
St. Louis Park High School | https://hs.slpschools.org

School Supply Lists

School Supply Lists can be found on the website in a number of different ways. A link is included under the "Quick Links" near the top of the District homepage and all school pages. A link is also included under the "Academics" tab in the main Menu accordion feature near the upper right hand corner of the District homepage and all school pages. There is also a featured box halfway down the website below the District's Mission Statement that links to the School Supply Lists.

All of the links will take you to this page where you can find school supply lists by school and by grade.

Fall Athletics

While there is an Athletics page built into the new website, families should continue to use www.gopark.org for high school fall sports information and registrations. Gopark.org will be phased out later this school year.
