Long Elementary School

A Note From Dr. Phillips and Dr. Mach

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement, adjustments, and new beginnings for both our students and our school community. It's truly heartwarming to witness the energy, enthusiasm, and resilience that our young learners bring with them each day. As parents, you play an indispensable role in nurturing and guiding them through this journey, and for that, we are deeply thankful. In these two weeks, we've already seen remarkable growth in our students. They are not just acquiring knowledge; they are embracing the values of respect, responsibility, leadership and kindness that will serve them well throughout their lives.

Upcoming Dates:

9/4-No School Labor Day

9/15- Picture Day

9/17-Long PTO St. Louis City SC 2 Game

Please Check Infinite Campus for Bus Route Changes

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.

Lindbergh Speaker Series: "Navigating Infinite Campus"

This short presentation is designed to help families navigate Lindbergh’s new Student Information System, Infinite Campus. Learn how to use the most common features on your desktop computer or mobile device.
