Dear Parents & Caregivers,


We are incredibly grateful for your generous donations and heartfelt participation in honoring our amazing teachers and staff during Staff Appreciation Week. Your support helped create a week full of love, joy, and well-deserved recognition for the people who pour so much into our children every day.


From thoughtful notes to delicious treats, and generous donations- every contribution made a difference. Together, we were able to show our educators just how much they are valued and appreciated.


Thank you for partnering with us to celebrate the heart of our school—our teachers and staff. Your kindness and community spirit are truly what make this school so special.


With Graditude, 


Peter Hobart PTO

Scam Robo Calls Targeting Families


We want to make you aware of a concerning scam targeting multilingual families in our community and across the country. We believe that these calls are not isolated to St. Louis Park Public Schools, and to our knowledge, it is not related to any of our data or technology services. 


Some families have reported receiving alarming automated phone calls falsely claiming that their child is being held for ransom. These messages are fraudulent and intended to cause fear and confusion. 


Please be assured: your child is safe and accounted for at school. If there were ever a real emergency involving your student, you would be contacted directly by a school staff member or administrator.


We are working closely with local law enforcement to monitor the situation and protect the safety and well-being of our students and families. If you receive one of these calls:

  • Do not engage with the caller.
  • Do not provide any personal or financial information.
  • Report the call to the police and notify your child’s school.


Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our community safe.
