However it looks like in your family, I hope everyone got a chance to stay warm, relax and enjoy some time with your loved ones, and of course, had some delicious food too!

As the winter continues to get colder we encourage parents to pay attention to children's attire:

This week we continue to stay between the 20s and teens for temperatures. Our students have daily recess except in extreme weather conditions such as rain or severe cold/wind chill. Students must have a WARM coat, hat, and mittens/gloves for outdoor recess everyday. If you need assistance with winter clothes, please contact angelica.diaz@spps.org or call at 651-293-8665

Parent Reminders:

Please communicate with teachers if your student has forgotten items from the classroom. Parents are not allowed to enter the classrooms after hours. Parents can message the teacher to have the items in the office to be picked up or sent home with the student the following day, if the item is found.
