CP News for October 10 , 2024

Love seeing our students representing Central Park in their Panther Pride t-shirts!

We are looking forward to welcoming you in the building for conferences. Many conferences are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 10, and Tues, Oct 15th, evenings. If you haven't scheduled a conference yet, please reach out to your classroom teacher(s).

At conferences, our educators are excited to share the strengths we see in your students every day at school and learn how the school year is going from your perspective. It is an opportunity to connect and collaborate about student progress academically, behaviorally and socially. It is also an opportunity for you to share what your student says about school at home, how you think it is going and ask any questions. Thank you for your ongoing partnership with Central Park!

Important Notice: New Immunization Requirements for Roseville Area Schools

Starting Monday, October 21, 2024, Roseville Area Schools will enforce the Minnesota immunization law. This is crucial for maintaining healthy and safe school communities. Here's what you need to know:

Students must meet one of the following criteria to continue attending school:

• Have received all required immunizations
• Have a scheduled immunization appointment
• Have submitted a notarized exemption form

Starting October 21, 2024:

• Students who do not meet the immunization requirements will be instructed to stay home until the requirements are met.
• These absences will be marked as unexcused.

Why this matters:

• This policy helps protect our most vulnerable students, who are unable to receive vaccines.
• It minimizes the time students miss due to disease outbreaks, as those not immunized may be required to stay home per the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

If your student is missing any immunizations, you will receive a notice from the school's health office. Please respond promptly to ensure your student can remain in school.

For questions or concerns, contact your school’s health office.
