New this Year
We are excited to offer two new changes to how our students get breakfast and lunch as well as an easier way for families to get real time transportation information.

Meal Badges: All students will be given a badge with a unique bar code which they will need to swipe prior to getting a school breakfast/lunch. The badge will also be used to access food from the snack window. Badges will be given out during the scheduled Advisory meeting on September 2nd. For those unable to attend the badge will be given to your student during their Advisory time on the first day of school.

Chromebook Distribution/Device Agreement
St Louis Park will be providing Chromebooks to each student in grades 6-12 this year. Prior to receiving the device, the Digital Device Agreement must be completed online through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. (see screenshots below) The online form must be completed for each student. In order for distribution to go as smoothly as possible on Thursday, please complete the Digital Device Agreement prior to your arrival. Please note that students will NOT be allowed to bring their own devices (laptops, ipads etc.) to school.

If you are not able to join us on the 2nd, we will have an opportunity on Tuesday September 7 from 9am-11am for Chromebook pickup.
