PASSIONATE LEARNERS POSITIVELY CHANGING OUR WORLD
We are a community of passionate learners, positively changing our world. What does that mean for your family? It means a high quality education for everyone. With unique curriculum aimed at developing the whole child: academically, physically, and emotionally, all students learn how to succeed not only in school, but in life after graduation. Visit our enrollment page to enroll online, visit the District Office to enroll in person, or call 651-457-9400 to start your journey with SSPPS. Leaders from South St. Paul Schools engaged with our stakeholder groups (students, families, and staff) to understand their desired daily experiences and how we can better support their needs. These Desired Daily Experiences will be the backbone of how we move forward with our strategic plan and serve as a guide for our teachers and staff when working with students and families.
