Dear SLPHS Families,

As we wrap up Quarter 1, I want to thank our students, families, and staff for their dedication and hard work. It’s been inspiring to see students’ growth and engagement throughout the first quarter. We’re looking forward to building on this momentum as we transition into Quarter 2. A reminder: there will be no school for students on Tuesday, November 5, due to the election. We encourage everyone eligible to participate in this important civic process!

November also marks Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native American communities. Throughout the year, students will have opportunities to learn more about this rich heritage through activities and classroom discussions.

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Family Engagement Night: Curriculum Carnival on November 21st from 4:30 to 7:30 PM! This event offers a non-traditional approach to conferences, where families can meet and greet teachers while engaging in activities that showcase what students are learning in class. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect, ask questions, and experience a bit of the curriculum firsthand. We look forward to seeing you there!

Lastly, the Parent Engagement Advisory Council (PEAC) has asked us to share an update on their ongoing fundraiser. PEAC's efforts directly support initiatives that benefit our students and school community. More information about their work and how to participate in the fundraiser is included below. Thank you for your continued support!

Take care, be well, and GO PARK!
