Our counselors work with students in small groups to meet their needs as indicated on a needs assessment survey. This survey will be provided next Thursday. If you want your child opt'd out of this survey, we need to know by Wednesday, September 13th. Please contact your child's grade level counselor. Their email addresses are below. Thanks!

• For AM drop off, the traffic flow pattern picture below indicates the best drop off point in the morning. The primary drop location is on the side of the building off of Robyn. The overflow location is the furthest left lane in the front of school. Please do not block the flow of traffic to get into the front lot. Continue on to the side parking lot/building as the front lot is overflow only. You may have noticed that I have been directing cars to the side entrance off Robyn when the stopped cars for the front drive/entrance is causing a backup to the intersection. I realize that this is not ideal for some but necessary to ensure that traffic can flow and buses can get onto the lot.

We just wanted to communicate expectations for attending high school football games:

• Middle school students are welcome at games and must be accompanied by a parent and supervised.
• Students must remain seated if they choose to hang out on the hill.
• No outside sports equipment allowed.
• Watch and enjoy the game.
• Do not wander to off-limits locations or the visiting team's side.
• Students who do not follow our expectations will be asked to leave.

As we enter the third week of school, it is important that all families who use bus transportation log in to Infinite Campus on Monday, Sept. 5, and check their student’s pickup and drop-off times, and bus stop location. Routes will be adjusted this weekend, with updated information available on Monday, Sept. 5.

During the first weeks of school, the district works closely with our transportation provider First Student to make adjustments to bus routes, add new riders and create a schedule that is efficient, safe and reliable. Some minor adjustments may be possible as a result.

A good rule of thumb is to allow about 10 minutes of flexibility from the scheduled pickup and drop-off times, in case a bus is running early or taking a few extra minutes to arrive.

The Lindbergh community is invited to join the Lindbergh High School Alumni Association for a special evening, as we celebrate this year’s Distinguished Alumni, Distinguished Educators, and Hall of Fame Athletes!

• Event details and registration

The Lindbergh Schools Foundation will host its fourth annual Community Breakfast on Friday, Oct. 27, and they are looking for businesses and families who would like to sponsor this community event! All proceeds benefit Lindbergh students and staff.
