MEDIA CENTER UPDATE


Ms. Alison Recommends… “The First to Die at the End” by Adam Silvera. This book is the prequel for They Both Die at the End. The two boys meet right before the first Death Cast calls go out at midnight, where you learn if you will die that day. One gets a call and one doesn’t. It follows their journey and you will be sad, happy, relieved, stressed, and hopeful for the entire story. 




Thank you so much for the puzzles! We have had so many donations and our brilliant students are enjoying doing them. Shout out to the kind humans that sent us puzzles from Amazon!  THANK YOU!

NEW DINING EXPERIENCE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

COMING IN 2024

What can students expect in the new dining experience once it’s complete in 2024? The renovated kitchen will ensure that we can cook healthy and delicious cooking on-site, offer a fresh salad bar or veggie bar, have seasonally fresh produce, taste testing, and training from professional chefs. The redesign will also include expanded seating capacity, new furniture, and fewer lunch sections to make the whole day run more smoothly.


Cold Bento Box Meals During Construction - Starting September, 2023. Note that the Jan 31 SLP Communicator incorrectly stated that the cold bento box meals would begin in March. We want to make high school families aware that the kitchen redesign is a major construction project that will disrupt the regular lunch schedule at the high school for about 18 months, beginning in September, 2023. During this time, students will eat meals in the activity center and we will only be able to offer cold bento box options for breakfast and lunch. Examples of cold bento box meals include sandwiches, wraps, and salads that come with fresh whole fruit and veggies. The bento box meals will be satisfying portions that will be prepared and assembled at the kitchen at the Central building, the satellite kitchen for the High School during the renovation.

POLICY 506 STUDENT BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PROCEDURES DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Background: On Aug. 10, 2021, the St. Louis Park Public Schools School Board unanimously approved and updated Policy 506 Student Behavior Intervention (formerly Student Discipline) to align with the mission and vision of the 2020-25 Strategic Plan for Racial Equity Transformation, reduce exclusionary practices that are highly punitive and racially predictable, include the use of non-exclusionary behavior interventions such as Restorative Practices, and center the humanity of students. A team will convene to develop procedure recommendations.


Purpose: Create procedure recommendations that embody the restorative commitments of Policy 506 and the mission/vision of St. Louis Park Public Schools.


Scope: Research, best practices (Restorative Practices and trauma-informed practices as two examples), and input from stakeholders will inform the work. Team members are expected to understand the current policy, and encourage the engagement, input, and feedback of all stakeholders. Team members will develop a recommendation that supports our district mission to see, inspire, and empower each learner to live their brilliance in an environment that centers student voice and experience to create racially equitable learning that energizes and enhances the spirit of our community.


If you are interested in participating in the development of the procedures for Policy 506 Student Behavior Intervention, please complete the form below by Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023. Contact Flower Krutina, krutina.flower@slpschools.org, with any questions.
