A message from the Superintendent…

Valeria S. Silva Superintendent, Saint Paul Public Schools

Welcome to Community Education in Saint Paul Public Schools! As always, we are delighted to provide you with a variety of opportunities to explore and expand your world.

Community Education is an important point on the SPPS educational spectrum, which begins at birth and encourages life-long learning. In 2006, St. Paul voters approved funding for key SPPS services, including education of our very youngest residents.

The results have been dramatic.

• Testing shows, for example, that 82% of our pre-kindergarten students are on target in “alphabet knowledge,” a key indicator of kindergarten readiness.

• That means close to 6,000 four-year-olds (of the nearly 7,000 served in SPPS since 2007) came to kindergarten armed with glue sticks, crayons, and their ABCs. • Additionally, Community Education’s Early Childhood Family Education provided parenting education to more than 5,000 parents and their young children.

On November 6th, the general election ballot will give voters a chance to renew the existing referendum and its solid educational results, and also to expand the referendum by approximately one-third. An expansion will allow us to introduce a personalized learning platform that will unleash the potential of students to learn anytime, anywhere, in a way that is inspiring for them, customized to their pace and driven by their preferences.

I encourage you to learn more by going to www.spps.org/referendum.

Thank you, St. Paul. We’re all in this together.

Warm regards, Valeria S. Silva Superintendent, Saint Paul Public Schools
