As students return to buildings, I wanted to share each school’s detailed return plans. The following links are documents about safely returning to school, including topics such as temperature screening at home, arrival and dismissal, recess and more.

School Meal Update: Available at no charge to SSP students

South St. Paul Public Schools is pleased to announce that school meals will be available at no charge to students enrolled in SSP this fall, beginning September 8 and temporarily running through December 31, 2020, but could end earlier. Please note, this is a change in original plans thanks to a U.S. Department of Agriculture waiver allowing school meals to be served free of charge to all students. As noted above, this is a temporary situation and all families are still encouraged to complete an Application for Educational Benefits, since any approval will carry over after this waiver expires through the 2020-21 school year.
