Students, educators and parents are anxious to move on from the stormy, challenging year we just experienced and prepare for a new school year, one in which all kids are welcomed back to their brick-and-mortar school buildings, learn and play together, and feel confident that they are safe, secure and getting the education they need to

Out in the streets making sure our students and families are aware of what’s going on! It’s time to get our students safely back in the building for learning! We miss our families and are excited about our next chapter!! #AFT #PublicSchoolProud #AFTSt.Louis #FreedomToThrive #SLPS #SAFESTARTSLPS
