February 17, 2022
Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
We hope that you have had a great week! We are looking forward to meeting with families during "Connect Times" this evening and tomorrow. This is one of the opportunities that we have to give you additional feedback about areas of growth for our children, highlighting their brilliance, and planning together to help our children grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
I will be hosting a virtual "Coffee with Corey" this evening from 6:00-6:30 and again tomorrow morning from 10:00-10:30. These sessions provide an opportunity to listen, share ideas, and ask questions. Feel free to join these Zoom calls at any time, and know that I would always welcome the opportunity to connect with our families.
On Monday, along with schools across the country, St. Louis Park Public Schools recognized National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID). Please see below for more information and a district-wide video, and click here to see what some of our African American students shared. Thanks to Sra. Ponce-Khoury for compiling this slide deck.
Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us. I am honored to partner with each of you. ¡Hasta pronto!
Sincerely,
Corey

Black History Month & NAAPID |
St. Louis Park Public Schools premiered a video on Monday, February 14, in recognition of Black History Month and National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID). The video highlights how ancestral knowledge energizes and enhances the spirit of our students, staff and families.
NAAPID launched in 1995 after Evansville, Indiana native Joseph Dulin was inspired by the Million Man March. Dulin, who became a celebrated educator and activist before his 2014 death, returned from the March intent on focusing parents and guardians on the goals of NAAPID, which include:
- Parent (guardian/family) involvement in your child's education.
- Addressing serious challenges facing African American students.
- Promoting and providing strategies for all parents (guardians and families) and students to take full advantage of the educational process at all levels of the educational system (preschool through college).
- Identifying and developing partnership efforts between all sectors of the community (business, school, home etc.)
- Establishing an annual event on the second Monday in February to provide continued focus on these goals across the country.
