Middle School to Host 5+ Vaccine Clinic on Monday, Dec. 6
In collaboration with Community Care Clinics of Minnesota, St. Louis Park Public Schools will be hosting a COVID vaccination clinic for students ages 5 and older, staff, and parents/guardians at St. Louis Park Middle School from 4:20-7:00 p.m. on Monday, December 6. Middle School students will have the option to receive a vaccine during the school day. There will be a separate quiet room available for students with special needs - please let staff at the check-in table know if a student needs this space. This clinic will provide 1st and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine for students ages 5+, parents/guardians, and staff. We will also offer boosters for staff and parents/guardians ages 18+. 

Individuals that attended the event on November 15, do not need to register again. If you did not register for the previous event and would like you or your student to attend the event on December 6, please register in advance. Registration for boosters is highly encouraged but not required. 

A printed consent form with a parent or guardian signature will be required for all students to receive a vaccine even if a consent form was previously filled out. Printed copies can also be found at your student's school. One form is required per student.

Winter Break Extended to a Full Two Weeks - No School Dec. 20-21
Kids Place Childcare Registration Available
The start of the 2021-22 school year has been a challenge for everyone as the global COVID pandemic continues. Students and families, teachers and staff have been working hard to return to in-person learning.

For the mental and physical health and wellbeing of all, the School Board unanimously approved a calendar modification adding two days to winter break in order for everyone to re-energize. Winter break has been extended to a full two weeks and now includes Dec. 20 and Dec. 21 as no school days. School will resume on Monday, Jan. 3 as originally planned.

This change may cause additional childcare needs for families. Kids Place childcare will be open on Dec. 20 and Dec. 21 to all K-5 families. Registration is required by Wednesday, December 8. Please visit https://slpcommunityed.com/kids-place/ to register.

If the school district experiences severe weather yet this school year, students, families, teachers and staff can expect distance learning days.

Thank you for your flexibility with these calendar changes. Having some extra time to re-energize will allow everyone to have a strong start to the second half of the school year.
School Board Considers Future Special Election
Director of Business Services Patricia Magnuson made a presentation to the School Board on Tuesday, November 23 regarding a potential special election in August of 2022.
