STUDENT INFORMATION, LEARNING AND EXPERIENCE

ACTIVITIES AND ATHLETICS (GRADES 5-12)

Athletics and activities are an important part of the school experience and provide students with opportunities to explore interests and passions and learn new skills.

Opportunities at grades 5-8 are provided through Community Education and include a variety of clubs and our interscholastic sports program. Questions or inquiries can be directed to slpcomed@district16.org. An activity bus is provided for students who stay after school and participate in after school activities. If students are staying at school after the school day has ended, they must be with a teacher or advisor.

For students in grades 7-8, there are a number of Minnesota State High School League athletics that students are eligible to participate in. A bus runs from Westwood to Spring Lake Park High School for students who participate in a high school team sport.

At Spring Lake Park High School, more than 80 percent of students participate in at least one team or club. The high school currently offers 14 girls’ sports and 13 boys’ sports. There also are currently 46 student-based interest clubs and co-curricular activities offered for students.

In order to participate and compete in athletics and activities, students must show adequate academic progress toward graduation. Eligibility requirements are reviewed with student athletes and parents at the beginning of each athletic season.
