I am honored to welcome you to the 2017-18 school year, even as you welcome me as the new Superintendent of Saint Paul Public Schools.

What do you need to know about me? I believe in relationships. I am not alone in this. Nearly 7,000 dedicated staff members with a wide range of talents and skills give their best to your students every day. We truly believe in the potential of every child and young adult we serve.

Our schools, along with our neighborhoods and communities, are partners with you – our students and families. All of us are learning, together, how to create the best possible conditions for student success at every age.

I hope you will become more involved with us in the year ahead. Talk to us. Write to us. Speak out. We want to consider your perspective, your viewpoint and your needs. Thank you for choosing Saint Paul Public Schools. Always remember that we must work together to provide a world of opportunities to our students.

Eat Smart

BreakfastSPPS is proud to offer Breakfast to Go. As students arrive at school, they can grab their free breakfast and eat in class. Breakfast includes local and homemade bakery items, yogurt, wholegrain cereals, fresh fruit and more.

LunchSchool menus are focused on local ingredients and scratch cooking with a wide selection of lean meats, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables. Many recipes are created by parents and chefs in our community. New items this year include mandarin kale salad and the SPPS sunrise breakfast sandwich. Students will also be able to taste test Hmong and East African dishes.

Many schools are now part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. Every student enrolled at a participating school receives a healthy lunch at no cost. Visit spps.org/nutrition to see if your school is participating, review prices for regular-priced meals, and complete a free and reduced-price lunch application.

Paying for MealsEach student’s meal account PIN is the same as their student ID number. Students can ask a teacher if they don’t know their ID number.
