Lombardy Families....We Need Your Feedback
The Lombardy team would like to find out what you know about MTSS, or Multi-Tiered Systems of Support. Please take one minute to fill out this brief, six question survey.
https://forms.gle/8SUYAQmrekxWmPNd8
What is MTSS?
Multi-tiered systems of supports, known as MTSS, are a framework meant to support students in achieving their best possible academic and social-emotional outcomes. MTSS models include three tiers of instructional and other kinds of support, so that all students can make progress by getting the kind of education that meets their needs.
In theory, each student’s needs should be addressed by one of the MTSS tiers. If the tiered system proves inadequate, MTSS should help educators identify which students might need special education services.

Online Payment System for Field Trips
We’re excited to announce that starting January 1, 2025, our school will transition to an online payment system for all field trips. This change will streamline the payment process, making it more convenient for families to sign up and pay for upcoming trips securely from any device.
Please see the attachment for instructions on how to use the new system. We believe this will enhance your experience and help us better manage our school events.
Thank you for your continued support!
Reminder about am/pm drop-off and pick-up
Walkers: To ensure the safety of all our students, we want to remind everyone that only children who are walking to and from school should be considered walkers. Families who drive their students should use the designated car line for drop-off and pick-up. Please do not park in the parking lot and walk your child to the building. This causes a disruption to the traffic flow and is dangerous.
Parking on Simon Road: The Weldin Park Civic Association has asked that we refrain from parking on Simon Road when dropping off or picking up your children. Parking in this area can create safety hazards and disrupt traffic flow for the residents in this community. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep our school community safe!
Car Line: Please make sure you follow the flow of traffic in the car line. Take an immediate right at the car line sign and follow the flow of traffic to the back of the school. Please be patient and cautious as you drive around the rear of the school. We will get your children in/out of the building as quickly and safely as we can.
School Nurse Information
Green emergency cards are coming home! Please take a few moments this weekend to fill out and return the student emergency cards. The three homerooms with the highest percentage of returned forms will win a prize!
Online Absence Forms
1) All cases of absence or late arrival
2) Requests for early dismissal
3) Notification of extended absence
To make this request process easier for our BSD families, we've created an electronic form. When you hit "send," the information you provide will automatically be sent to the attendance secretary at Lombardy Elementary School.
