September 1, 2020

Greetings Beautiful Parents,

We are off and running with our virtual programming!  School started on August 31, 2020.  Although we expect all children to be engaged with SLPS' virtual platform, we realize that that some challenges may be a concern at this time.  All families are encouraged to be patient; there may be internet, log-on and device challenges that the SLPS may need to support you with for students.  Please note, there are circumstances that are beyond the school distirict's control such as internet speed, connectivity quality and device malfunction.  Those areas of concern that SLPS can support famlies with are addressed as soon as humanly possible.  There are SLPS team members at the the distrcit and school level that are currently working to ensure that children are engaged in the virtual learning experience.  We will continue to be stead-fast with providing students with support.  Again, please extend your patience and understanding as we navigate these unprecendented waters.
