SLP Online 7/8 Families,
Spring is finally here to stay! In these final five weeks of school, we want to continue to work in partnership to support each student in achieving grade-level/course outcomes. When trying to figure out how your child is doing in Tri 3, Schoology is the best place to start. It will outline all their current grades and if you go into each course, it will show specific details on assignments and indicate if anything is missing.
After taking a look at the grades and course details, it might help to sit down with your child and create a plan for each course that you might be concerned about. Getting their input can be a key step in the process of creating those goals and next steps. There are many supports in place to help students find success in these final weeks, including, but not limited to, checking in with teachers, meeting with a teacher during office hours on Thursday, May 12 or connecting with Mr. Luecke who can meet individually with students.
Please remember that our supports go beyond the academics. This past week has been very challenging for students, staff and families at Westwood. Throughout the district and community, we’ve come together to support each other during this difficult time. If your child or someone you know is needing support, please reach out and we will get you in contact with someone who can help.
As we look ahead to summer, you may wonder about your student’s school-owned iPad. Families with students in grades K-11 will once again be able to keep their school-issued iPad at home and return with it for the 2022-2023 school year. If you prefer our school keep the iPad over the summer or you are not returning next year, you’ll be able to turn in the iPad to the main office. See more information in today’s newsletter.
I hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy the beautiful weather. As always, please reach out with any questions!

Plans for iPads this summer
This summer, Spring Lake Park Schools' families with students in grades K-11 will once again be able to keep their school-issued iPad at home and return with it for the 2022-2023 school year. If you prefer the school keep the iPad over the summer, you will be able to turn it into the main office.
Seniors and families who are leaving the Spring Lake Park Schools district after this school year need to turn in their school-issued iPad, case and charger.
Seniors will return their iPad, case and official Apple charger to the high school on Thursday, June 9 during their rehearsal for graduation.
Students who will not be enrolled for the 2022-2023 school year can turn in their iPad, case and charger to:
their home school office, or
to the District Services Center at 1415 81st Ave NE, Spring Lake Park, MN 55432.
If family plans change over the summer months, we ask families to call the District Services Center, 763-600-5000. Need Tech Support? Contact the Technology Department at techsupport@district16.org or 763-600-5555.
Outstanding School Fees: How to pay through Campus Parent Portal
As we near the end of the 2021-2022 school year, we ask that families pay any outstanding fees they may have acquired throughout the school year. Fees could range from technology to library books and music fees.
To check if your family has any outstanding fees and to pay for the fees, login to Campus Parent Portal and click on "Fees" located in the left-hand black column. We ask that families pay these fees by June 30, 2022.
