SPPS Winter Policy (Please Click)

Saint Paul Public Schools Winter Weather Plan for 2011-2012
The decision to close the school system due to extreme winter weather conditions is no simple matter. The safety and well being of students and staff is our top priority. The expectation is that schools will remain open, if at all possible, for uninterrupted student learning on scheduled school days.

At Highwood Hills Elementary School we are committed to improving the academic achievement of all students by empowering all individuals to become life-long learners.
