Dear Crestwood Community,

As we approach this season of Thanksgiving, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for our incredible school community.

Our dedicated staff, supportive families, & wonderful students who make Crestwood such a special place. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful Thanksgiving filled with warmth, love, and gratitude.

Our WINTER celebration is on Friday, December 20th, at 10:30 am. To help the check in process go faster, if you are planning to volunteer/attend your child's classroom celebration, please sign up here. We will print name tags ahead of time for those who have had their ID scanned at Crestwood before. If you have not had your ID scanned at Crestwood previously, it would be helpful to stop by Crestwood before December 18th

Flexibility, positive attitudes and resilience will ensure students and staff have a great 2nd half of the school year! Watch the video above to learn more about how we will be shifting our current Gym space into our Cafeteria and have lunches be eaten in classrooms, starting in January.

This temporary shift will allow Prop R renovations to stay on schedule to complete all work on our campus by August of 2025 (light at the end of the tunnel).

Hello Crestwood!

WOW! What a start. We raised almost $400 last week during Jingle for Jammies. We collected donations on November 22 (Beach Day) and please remember December 6th (Decades Day). We appreciate donations but they are not necessary to participate! We encourage kids to do something helpful around the house to earn some change, or use their own money for these days.

Fifth grade is in the lead so far with $115 dollars in donations. Thanks to everyone for their generosity!

We are also ready to start collecting items listed in the Giving Tree. These gift cards have been requested specifically to fit the needs of each family.

If you'd like to donate, please sign up on the Giving Tree link HERE. Send in your gift card to the main office in an envelope marked "Giving Tree".

Thank you so much for your generosity-we appreciate it!

This fall, all Lindbergh students in grades 3-5 participated in screening using the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (mySAEBRS). The purpose of this screener is to provide a big-picture measure of the student experience at Lindbergh Schools and identify individual students who may need additional support in the areas of academic, emotional, and social skills.

It is important to note that these surveys provide only a glimpse or snapshot of a student's response on the day the screener was administered. No data point should ever be used as a sole indicator when determining needs for students. Below, please find the interpretation guides:

The Lindbergh Parent Advisory Council virtually presents “Building Social Connections Through Playdates and Hangouts,” presented by LenEll Kelley, behavior analyst, founder and clinical director of Developing Minds Therapy Services.

LenEll will help parents identify their role in preparing for a successful playdate or hangout, including how to help find peer matches, resolve potential conflicts, and the importance of flexibility with activities. And did you know how important the good-bye can be? LenEll will share ideas for parents with children of all ages.

Join Special School District and LPAC for this hour that promises to help you to help your child use social skills and develop friendships, ultimately building their self-esteem in the process.

The mission of the Crestwood Family is to inspire all students to learn and grow to be curious, caring and confident learners in a respectful, responsible, and safe community.
