School Handbook
Welcome to Spring Lake Park Schools!
A student’s school experience is an important part of your family’s life. Each day, we work tirelessly to know each student’s strengths, interests and needs, create a sense of belonging and learning experiences that engage and delight.
There are also the practical aspects of school – start and end times, procedures for absences, transportation, meals and more. We’ve compiled the basic information about how our schools operate in this handbook for students and families. Please review the information and refer to it, as needed, throughout the year.
You’ll also find a comprehensive list of our district policies for your reference. Full policies can be accessed at any time on our website.
Please contact your school as you have questions throughout the year.
