Your participation will take less than 12 minutes, and there are exciting prizes to make it fun for the students. Here is all you need to do to participate: 1. Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000008813 to sign up. 2. Send form emails inviting family, friends and co-workers to support your child. 3. Return the Envelope with the Student Prize Code to school for your child to get their fun participation prize. Be sure to ask your child for the Parent Envelope tonight. Your participation will make a difference for our school and teachers! If you have any questions, you may contact your child's homeroom teacher or Mrs. Ortego at sortego@slpsb.org.
