Hello Peter Hobart Community,

We had a wonderful preview of 5th grade Exhibition on Tuesday. We're looking forward to tonight's celebration of learning and hoping to see all of you there. Our students are excited to share their brilliance!

The Exhibition is the cumulating event in the journey through an International Baccalaureate (IB) Elementary Education. Our mission as an IB School is to develop knowledgeable, inquiring, and caring young people who strive to make the world a better more just and more peaceful place.

All are welcomed to attend!

We are nearing the end of the 2022-23 school year with just 9 days of school left!

I have a few housekeeping items as we near the end of the school year:

Classroom Placement for Fall 2023

If you will not be attending Peter Hobart in the fall due to a recent or impending move, would you please notify the office at 952-928-6603 as soon as possible.

Lost and Found

We have a plethora of items that are missing their owners. You are welcome to come before or after school and dig through the mountain of unclaimed items. All items remaining after June 9th will be disposed of.

End of Year Progress Report

Please make sure you have the correct current address on file here at our school so we can ensure you receive end of year report cards.

Memorial Day

May 29th

In honor of Memorial Day, St. Louis Park Public Schools will be closed. Memorial Day is recognized in honor of all those who fought for freedoms. We remember those who have passed, and thank those who have dedicated their lives to protect our liberties.

Pride Month

June

June is the beginning of Pride Month!

Pride Month begins on June 1! LGBTQIA+ Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June. Historically, June is significant because of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. This was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the U.S. However, there have since been many more strides in the LGBT movement throughout the years. We celebrate the diversity in our school community!

Juneteenth Celebration

June 18th

Second Annual Juneteenth Celebration at the St. Louis Park ROC! Sunday, June 18, 1-4pm. Join us for a fun filled celebration filled with education and entertainment, shopping, fun, and food!
