SLPHS families,
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! It was great to meet our 9th graders and new 10th – 12th grade transfer students yesterday. Our Panther Mentors did an amazing job leading these students through a full day of orientation and sharing with our new students what being a member of the Spring Lake Park Schools community is all about.
I am so proud and appreciative of our Panther Mentors for being such exceptional student leaders and young adults. If you have a mentor in your house, please let them know they are appreciated and they make our school a welcoming and inclusive place to learn and work!
This week marks the start of new, old routines like a school schedule. We got off to a smooth start to the first day of school with all students today. Staff and Panther Mentors were out in the hallways helping students find their classes and it felt like an almost regular school day. Please take time to review the daily schedule with your student and be aware that first hour starts at 8:10 a.m. every school day this year.
I want to invite all families to the “Start Your Engines” event hosted by the Panther Foundation and Community Education this Saturday, September 10 in our high school parking lot. All are welcome! See more info in the newsletter, and I hope your family can come by for big trucks, food trucks and automobiles.
I look forward to the new school year and all the growth and development ahead for both students and staff. Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support as we build bright futures together!
One school, one community, #SLPPantherProud!
With gratitude,
Matthew Boucher
Principal
