From your Proud Principal
Clarence Pollock

I am at a loss of words for the horrific tragedy that took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde Texas. I am sad and angry for so many reasons. The number one reason is it is children. My heart goes out to each of these grieving families.
As educators and as humans, we recognize that these were all our babies. We are all hurting, and we are lucky to have the strength of the SLP community around us.
Thank you to the many families that reached out via emails or phone calls sharing your love and support of our school community.
Just a reminder to all families:
- All our school doors are locked starting at 7:45 AM throughout the day. While school is in session you must be buzzed in through the main office.
- We complete safety drills throughout the school year. 5 Lockdown Drills and 5 Fire Drills as well as 1 severe weather drill. We have completed all our safety drills for this school year. Our last Lock down drill was completed on May 23rd.

Transportation Changes for 2022-23 School Year
As a part of districtwide budget reductions, St. Louis Park Public Schools will be making several changes to student transportation for the 2022-23 school year. Transportation is a vital part of the day for many of our students and families. Reductions in transportation and other non-classroom areas will allow the district to reduce the impact of reductions on classrooms and programs. The transportation changes will result in budget savings of $325,000.
In the coming days, the district will begin to communicate with families who are impacted by these transportation changes. A summary of the changes is included below:
- Expanded no bus zones for students residing in St. Louis Park, including the establishment of a no bus zone for Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School.
- Condensed bus stops for secondary students.
- Expanded no bus zones for students who open enroll from Minneapolis.
- New elementary school boundaries for Minneapolis students.
- High school students and families will be asked to opt-in for transportation.

Elders' Wisdom Children's Song Celebrations Now on YouTube |
|
The District's four elementary schools each held an Elders' Wisdom Children's Song (EWCS) celebration in the past three weeks.
EWCS incorporates the tools of community organizing, education, and celebration through storytelling in song and spoken word. At the heart, EWCS is an educational process called collective song-writing. It combines the collection of oral history, or oral literature, with the teaching of song-writing and poetry.
This year, through our Talent Development program, all fourth grade classes across the District participated in this amazing program, concluding with a performance showcasing their amazing talents and brilliance.
Each class adopted an elder from their community to tell his or her story. Each story was recorded, transcribed, analyzed and interpreted by students. Inspired by the life story of the elder, a song or spoken word piece was written and then performed by the class, for the community.
View the respective celebrations on the District's YouTube channel by using the links below:

St. Louis Park Public Schools is pleased to announce that Park Virtual, a K-12 virtual learning experience, is being developed for the 2022-23 school year. Park Virtual will provide a rigorous academic experience that is aligned to state standards while flexible to meet the unique needs of every student and family situation. Similar to in-person instruction, Park Virtual students will 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.
This online learning environment utilizes the St. Louis Park Public Schools staff and curriculum with an international focus at all levels. Advanced Placement and concurrent college-level courses will be available at the high school level.
