Meet the PSI Staff

In this section, we will be featuring some of our amazing PSI Staff so the community can get to know every adult in the building better, as we all work together to support all students at PSI!

This week we want to introduce you to three PSI Staff members. Ashleigh Foreman-Schuster is a culturally relevant literacy coach, Rebecca Nielsen is a special education teacher and Tricia Zeigle is a third grade teacher. We are so happy to have them! Please help us welcome them to the PSI Community.

National African American Parent Involvement Day is Mon., Feb. 12!

Black families and students are invited to join for donuts, coffee, juice and connection in the theater with Principal, Corey Maslowski and Elementary Support Supervisor, Kelsey Clark, from 7:15-8:00 am.

Students will go to their classroom while families are invited to engage in community and conversation until approximately 9:00 am.

Families will also be invited to spend time in their children’s classrooms. Please reach out directly to your child’s teacher if you would be interested in reading a book or participating in, or leading an activity.

From the PSI Health Office

As we head into cold and flu season, we’ve noticed an increase in illnesses commonly seen in the school setting including colds, covid/flu, strep throat, stomach flu, and pink eye. To help prevent the spread of these illnesses, wash hands frequently, do not touch eyes, nose or mouth, cover mouth and nose with elbow when sneezing or coughing, disinfect commonly touched surfaces and stay home for the following reasons: 

• Fever of 100 degrees or more. The student should stay home for 24 hours after their temperature returns to normal without the use of fever reducing medication.
• Vomiting or diarrhea. The student is to stay home until 24 hours after the last episode.
• Any uncontrolled cough.
• Rashes with unknown causes. Check with your family physician/clinic before your student returns to school.
• Feeling ill/unwell and the student is unable to fully participate in school activities
• Please let the attendance line know the reason for your absence.

K-5 A-E Specialist Calendar

In our SLP elementary schools, our specialist classes rotate on an A, B, C, D, E day schedule. We do this so that students do not consistently miss classes on a particular calendar week day. Please see the February rotation schedule.

Fun Fact:The ceramic wall tile used in the new Tinker Space traveled over 1,500 miles to our jobsite from Mexico. This distance is the equivalent to over 6,000 laps around the new St. Louis Park High School Track! View the construction updates webpage.

Staff Meals for Upcoming Connect Times



Families, the Spring teacher-parent connect times are approaching quickly. Providing meals for our amazing PSI staff is a great way to show our appreciation for all they do for our kids. Please consider signing up to supplement a meal or volunteer your time as we plan to provide two meals to over 70 staff members.

Thursday, February 15th will be potluck style soups, sides and desserts. On Friday the 16th, we will serve a combination of baked goods and catered breakfast sandwiches. Both will be buffet-style so that staff can pop in to serve themselves during a break in conferences. 

Please bring all items to the PSI office by the time noted in each SignUp Genius volunteer slot. Be sure to label and arrange pick up of any non-disposable kitchen items you bring from home. 

Thank you for your generosity; the staff is always so appreciative of this special treat!
