SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 - NEWSLETTER
Hello SLP Schools Online Families,
The fall weather has been beautiful. I am enjoying it, and I hope you are as well. The weather this week is also perfect for Homecoming. There are many opportunities to show your Panther Pride and have some fun. Feel free to share some pictures of your family and your Homecoming spirit. The learning advocates and I would love to see them!
I have one thing to put on your radar this week. SLP Online Elementary students will be taking the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests for reading and math on October 11 and 12. These assessments will be in person and will be taken at the Lighthouse school. We will finalize and communicate details soon and please mark your calendars for these dates as we will anticipate seeing your students in-person at Lighthouse School.
As you continue to be an essential partner in your student’s learning, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate you, and I am happy to help.
Take care,
Kimberly Fehringer
Principal on Special Assignment

Families welcome: Flu shot clinics
Spring Lake Park Schools families are invited to flu shot clinics offered through Walgreen’s at Spring Lake Park High School on Oct. 11 and Nov. 1, 3:30-6 p.m. Both clinics will have this season’s flu vaccine as well as COVID vaccines and boosters. No registration is required. Simply come during the identified time for a clinic that works best for your schedule.
Strengthened Student Supports
As a new year gets underway, a full continuum of supports is available in our schools to support students’ academic, social, emotional and behavior development and needs.
After two years of disrupted, pandemic learning, addressing academic gaps and supporting students’ development and well-being are top of mind. The district has taken a unique path. To create a more integrated approach, the team has brought curriculum and instruction together with special education and student services. This strengthened continuum of supports recognizes that each child has a unique combination of needs and strengths.
For the academic as well as the social, emotional and behavioral, there is a core set of instructional practices that all students experience. For students who show a need, there are also targeted services as well as individual supports.
Learn more about the continuum of supports available.
