DECEMBER 7, 2022 - NEWSLETTER
Hello SLP Schools Online Families,
Welcome December and welcome trimester 2! I want to share a sincere thank you and a deep appreciation for your flexibility the next few days while Mrs. Berge spends needed time with her family. Mrs. Lizee will take great care of our SLP Online Elementary students in her absence. As you already know, this requires shifts in schedules for both small groups and at-home coach / student / advocate weekly meetings. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Mrs. Lizee or to me. Our students continue to be our focus.
A few additional updates and reminders for this week:
- Report Cards: SLP Online Elementary report cards for Trimester 1 will be ready for parents to view on Campus Parent Portal on December 16.
- Enrollment: Enrollment for 2023-2024 is now open. If you have – or know – an almost kindergartner, this is the time to enroll for next fall. Additionally, if you know of anyone who may be interested in SLP Schools Online, please let me know. I’m always happy to talk about our learning model with interested families.
- SLP Winter Market: This Saturday, Dec. 10 is the SLP Winter Market (formerly Holiday House). Join us at Spring Lake Park High School (Door 29) from 10:00 a.m. to noon for some holiday cheer. All are welcome for this fun, community-building event. There will be vendor tables, a Panther Store pop-up, entertainment, treats and kids’ activities and crafts.
- Winter Break: Please plan ahead, winter break is just a few weeks away. There is no school Dec. 23-Jan. 2.
Please continue to call the attendance line, 763-600-5209, to report student absences due to illness, appointments, and vacation. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.
Have an awesome week!
Take care,
Kim Fehringer

Fall 2022 highlights: Panther athletics and activities
A new year of Panther athletics and activities brings an abundance of opportunities for each student to find connection, belonging and purpose. This year, there are 15 girls’ sports, 15 boys’ sports and 47 student-based interest clubs and co-curricular activities.
This fall, the varsity and junior varsity bowling teams each won the Class AA state tournament, junior Reilly Kopp ran at the state cross country meet, the trap/skeet/clay sporting teams placed in the top three in their conference, the football team made it to the section finals and the math team has two all-state students, one who competed in a national math competition at Berkeley.
Along with other established sports and club offerings, there are a handful of new and exciting opportunities. Panther Buddies is a club that pairs a high school student with a student at Park Terrace Elementary once per week with similar interests to provide a positive role model in their lives. Other new offerings include Alpine Skiing, Muslim Women’s Society, Equestrian Club and more.
