1: From the Interim Principal
|

Dear SLP Families and Caregivers,
Last night, the District premiered a video on YouTube celebrating the Class of 2021. This virtual event, formerly Awards & Scholarship Night, included speakers, photos, future plans, favorite high school memories, as well as awards and scholarships that students have earned this year. Click here to watch the video. Click here to download the program from the event. I invite you to view it and join us in celebrating the many successes of the Class of 2021.

As we support our students to finish up strong this incredible year, we are also in the process of interviewing and hiring positions for next year. Three of our teachers are retiring this spring, including: Ms. Julianne Herbert, English/Language Arts and Echowan (yearbook); Ms. Cheryl Martin, Business; and Ms. Linda Tillou, Science. We will greatly miss all of them and their incredible contributions to SLP High School.
Last week, Governor Walz announced that he relaxed some of the mask requirements, and while we are all tired of masks, and Covid and everything else connected to this pandemic, Minnesota’s Safe Learning Plan remains in effect for all schools in the state. That means that we all are required to continue to wear our masks when in school and on school buses until the end of this school year. IF requirements change, I promise to let you know.
Thank you for reminding your students to keep their masks up so that non-vaccinated people can
remain safe.
Kindly,
Wendy Loberg
Interim Principal

3: Ms.Luskey's Health Class
|
|
This week, some of Ms. Luskey's Health classes moved to the Media Center after experiencing some network and air conditioning issues that made the Health room uncomfortable and less than ideal for learning. Our students continue to amaze me with their ability to adapt to whatever situation they are faced with. SLP students are truly committed to learning |

7: Booster does of meningococcal vaccine for 11th & 12th Grade
|
|
Minnesota law requires that all students get vaccinated against certain diseases or have a legal exemption on file to enroll in school. Students entering 12th grade for the 2021-2022 school year need to have documentation, or a legal exemption, for the booster dose of meningococcal vaccine. Most children received the initial dose of this vaccine when they entered 7th grade.
Teenagers and young adults are at higher risk for meningococcal disease. This booster dose is important to make sure they are fully protected through their highest-risk years. Anyone can get meningococcal disease, but college freshmen living in dorms are at increased risk and should get vaccinated. If your 12th grader has not gotten the booster and they are going off to college, please get them scheduled for it.
A person with meningococcal disease may become seriously ill very quickly. Antibiotics can treat meningococcal infections, but often can’t be given soon enough to help. If you plan to seek legal exemption for this booster, please do so before the start of the school year, as documentation needs to be submitted to the health office. If you need exemption information, the immunization form is available on the MDH website (www.health.state.mn.us/people/immunize/basics/imzform.pdf).
Should you have concerns about costs, ask your child’s healthcare provider about low-cost vaccinations or contact Central Clinic at 952-993-1100.
