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. Ingrid Brown is a first grade teacher, Anne Moore is our elementary school counselor, and Iveth Velázquez is a kindergarten classroom assistant. We are so happy to have them!

Cartonera Project



We are gearing up for our annual Cartonera Writing Project (May 31). In preparation for this event where every student shares a published book, we will need help sewing. It really only requires a sewing machine and the capacity to sew a straight(ish) line. If you are willing and able to assist in this way, please let Kara Scheid know (scheid.kara@slpschools.org).

Elders' Wisdom Children's Song Celebration on May 6

The fourth graders are busy preparing for our Elders’ Wisdom, Children’s Song community celebration. This project incorporates community, history, education, and celebration through storytelling, song, and spoken word. Each fourth-grade class interviewed an elder from the community and is now writing a song inspired by the elder’s life story. Mark your calendar to join us on Monday, May 6, at 6:30 p.m. at the SLP Middle School for this exciting event! Contact Sra. Wieber with questions (wieber.kimberly@slpschools.org).

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 March rotation schedule.
