SmartPass ELECTRONIC PASS SYSTEM COMING TO SLPHS | |
SLPHS is excited to pilot SmartPass, an electronic pass system beginning Tuesday, April 16th . The rollout of SmartPass at our school is driven by a commitment to maximize instructional time while prioritizing the safety and well-being of our students. Additionally, SmartPass enhances safety measures, allowing us to monitor and manage access to our campus more effectively. In the coming weeks, students will learn how to access this electronic pass system using their district issued Chromebook. Ask your student for more information. | |

Minnesota Department of Health’s recommendations for School Exclusions concerning pink eye:
"No exclusions are recommended, unless the child has a fever or is not healthy enough to participate in routine activities. Antibiotics or a note from a health care provider are not required. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends considering conjunctivitis like the common cold – both diseases are easily spread among children and both resolve without treatment."

MCA MATH TESTING
11th Grade
Tuesday, April 16 & Thursday, April 18
- All Grade 11 Math Students
- Standard Schedule
- 7 period day
- 40 minutes per period
- Most students will test in their current math classrooms.
- Students attending external systems (PSEO/Virtual) will be assigned a testing location.
Any student who does not complete their MCA Math test on the initial test dates (4/16 & 4/18) will be included in the make-up testing space on Monday, April 22. We believe this structure will contribute to a positive testing environment for students to allow them to do their best work.
| |  |
|
WHY SHOULD STUDENTS TAKE THE MCA?
- Colleges & Universities can use MCA scores to place students into appropriate level classes. This can help students avoid needing to enroll in and pay for remedial/noncredit courses in college.
- Park Pride. Low MCA participation & scores impact our community. Prospective residents and business owners view published high school rankings which may include MCA data. We are better than the current data indicates. Let’s Prove It!
- For the love of food! When you complete the MCA you’ll be entered into a raffle to win a $25 Gift Card from your favorite restaurant (yes, you choose your favorite).

St. Louis Park High School Theatre Presents:
Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling April 19-21
Steel Magnolias is a dramatic comedy centered around six southern women and their relationships that bloom within the local beauty salon. Set over 2 years in the late 1980s, the play follows Truvy, the sassy and strong salon owner; Annelle, her anxious new assistant with her fair share of secrets; Miss Clairee, widow of the former beloved mayor who has become quite the public figure herself; Ouiser, the town curmudgeon with a warm heart; Shelby, a young woman with health issues who’s ready to take risks to live her life; and M’Lynn, who will protect her daughter at any cost.
Due to construction at the High School, all performances will be held at the Middle School Performing Arts Center, located at 2025 Texas Ave S. Performances are April 19 and 20 at 7:00 pm and January 21 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens, and free with student ID for all SLPHS students.

How To Practice Mindful Eating | Change to Chill

CHANGE TO CHILL
Have you heard of mindful eating?
It's the practice of slowing down and taking time to enjoy a meal without distraction. In a world full of stimuli, mindful eating is a way to provide thoughtful attention to what you are feeling and thinking in that moment. This can be a fun way to tap into your inner food critic while reducing stress and anxiety!
