OPEN HOUSE FOR SLPS MAGNET SCHOOLS SET FOR DECEMBER 5

(Wednesday, November 29, 2006) – The St. Louis Public Schools will hold a second open house for its magnets schools on Tuesday, Dec. 5, during regular school hours. Parents who are interested in sending their child to a magnet school will have an opportunity to talk to administrators, ask questions regarding the specialty programs, and receive free literature.

“We think it is important for parents to visit during school hours,” said Louis Kruger, Executive Director of Business Operations. “It gives them an understanding of our curriculum and how students are adapting to their learning environment.”
