June Is Pride Month

Out for Equity invites you to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride with SPPS staff, students, families, and community partners this June at MNSOC Youth Pride and TC Pride Family Fun Day! SPPS is committed to providing respectful and inclusive learning environments where everyone who is LGBTQ+ knows they are cared for, valued, and respected. Read about how SPPS supports all students’ gender identities in our Gender Inclusion Policy.

Free Summer Meals for Kids 18 and Under

Summer meals are available at no cost to kids 18 and under, or those over 18 who have a disability and are enrolled in a school program. Meals will be served at parks and community spaces, starting June 14. For information and locations, visit spps.org/summermeals.

Learning to Read Is a Science

With funding from the American Rescue Plan (ARP), SPPS hired WINN (What I Need Now) literacy teachers to provide daily small group reading instruction for kindergarten through third grade students. Close to 3,000 students across the district have participated in the program in its first year.
