Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community Members:
I sincerely hope that this finds you well. I have enjoyed the sunshine during the past week, and students have loved being outside! Our PTO Carnival week looks a little different this year (without the traditional physical gathering), but it is fun celebrating our community in different ways! It was fun to see sports attire yesterday, school/university pride today, I look forward to Orange Day tomorrow and Music Trivia tonight! As spring approaches and so many things in our landscape continue to change, I appreciate your hopes, dreams, collaboration, flexibility, and grace as we work together on behalf of your children.
For many in our PSI community, I recognize the upcoming trial in our backyard will bring a variety of emotions based on previous lived experiences. Building on the work that we do each day, we will continue to strive to create a supportive, safe and nurturing environment that energizes and enhances the spirit for our children and the adults who interact with them. Today, tomorrow, and every day, we will work to live our newly adopted SLP Public Schools Mission and Strategic Plan for Racial Equity. I am grateful for each and every child, for who they are and the many positive things that they bring to the world. Thank you for being members of our community.
Hasta pronto,
Corey

Make-Up/Retakes Picture Day - Wednesday, April 7 |
We know we previously indicated there would be no retakes for Lifetouch Pictures this year. Due to a large number of students absent on Picture Day, we now have a make-up/retakes picture date on Wednesday, April 7.
If your child was absent that day, you may purchase a portrait package by clicking HERE.
If you would like retakes, send the portrait envelope with your child to hand to the photographer on make-up/retakes picture day.
Click HERE to view a Lifetouch flyer in both English and Spanish.
DLA (Distance Learning Academy) families, please watch for a sign-up genius coming soon from your teacher.
DLA families may pick up their portrait package in the PSI office. Call 952-928-6555 with questions.

Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA)
Save The Dates - Grades 3-5
|
From MDE: Testing is used in schools to measure student achievement. State tests are given to students in a district once a year, based on their grade level and subject area. Classroom tests are given by individual teachers on a more regular basis and may include quizzes, mid-terms, chapter tests, and final exams, among others. Both types of tests give educators an idea of how well their students are learning the concepts presented to them in the classroom.
Grades 3-5 READING: April 26 & 27
Grades 3-5 MATH: April 29 & 30
Grade 5 SCIENCE: TBD
Educators can use this testing information to adjust their instruction to increase how well their students retain what is being taught.
More info will follow for DLA and in-person students.
