Principal e-Note

It was a great week here at Long! Our students continue to impress us with their hard work and commitment to our core values of respect, responsibility, leadership, and kindness.

We are especially excited about Unity Week next week! This is always a meaningful time as we focus on inclusion, kindness, and standing together as a school community.

In addition to Unity Week, we’re also looking forward to our Fall Parties, where students will have a chance to celebrate the season with their classmates.

Lastly, our first trimester conferences are just around the corner. This is a great opportunity to discuss your child's progress, goals, and ways we can continue working together for their success. Remember to sign up for one conference slot, even if your family has multiple households.

Unity Day Parade:

Long will be having a Unity Day Parade on Wednesday from 2:30-3:00 at Crestwood Park! We would love for you to join us and cheer on the students as we walk together in support of a kind and inclusive community!

Students are welcome to wear costumes to school on October 31st as a spirit day. Costumes are optional, and to ensure that the school day proceeds without interruption, they must meet the following requirements:

• Students must be able to wear the costume to school and throughout the school day without any adult assistance (no changing clothes at school)

• Costume must not cover the face

• No Scary or Violent Themes: No Costumes that are too frightening, bloody, or violent
• No Weapons or Dangerous Props: Props such as toy swords, guns, or knives are prohibited
• Cultural Sensitivity: avoid costumes that appropriate or stereotype cultures
  

First Trimester Conferences will be held in person November 6th and 7th from 4pm-7pm. Individual teachers will be sending out sign-ups.

As we prepare for our upcoming family conferences, we aim to ensure that every conference is focused on your child's academic growth and well-being. In order to make the best use of our time and to maintain consistency in discussing your child’s progress, we kindly ask that both parents sign up for only one conference per student, even if you are living in separate households.

If you would like to visit Art, Music, PE, Design Lab, or Library they will be available all evening from 4-7. You may stop by or email them for a specific time.

This fall, Lindbergh Schools is connecting students and community members through the power of picture books, and you are invited to participate!

Lindbergh elementary schools will kick off “From Stories to Service” Oct. 23-24. We invite all members of the Lindbergh community to visit our elementary classrooms and serve as Community Readers by reading aloud one of our “From Stories to Service” picture books. Volunteers are welcome to sign up for more than one date and time!

• To share your time as a Community Reader, please sign up using this form.

• Note: If you are a community leader, please include your title/organization in the “Comments” field when you sign up to read. Thank you!

After our Community Readers visit, it’s time for service! Classes will be encouraged to select their favorite book and use it as inspiration for a service learning project, encouraging students to use their talents and creativity to help make the world a better place.
