This survey will be provided next week in Flyer Time, and we have included the options of groups that students can select if interested. If you want your child opt'd out of this survey, we need to know by Friday, September 22. Please contact your child's grade level counselor. Their email addresses are below. Parents will also receive a permission slip if a student selects an interest to participate.

Here are key points to remember about the middle school schedule:

• Give yourself some extra time in the morning the first week. Consider the later time and potential traffic in your commute.

• Students may arrive and enter the building at 7:35 AM. If they arrive before 7:45 AM, students must report to the cafeteria.

• Buses will be dropping off after the high school in the morning and also arriving at dismissal after picking up high school students. Note that we may need to dismiss by intercom the first week.

How to Manage Your Student’s Meal Account

Lindbergh’s Student Information System, Infinite Campus, allows parents and guardians to set up recurring payments for student meal balances, and reload student balances automatically when they reach a determined threshold. In addition, yellow deposit envelopes are available in each school cafeteria for families who prefer to pay with cash or check (made payable to “Lindbergh Schools.”).

To set up automatic payments for your student, please follow these instructions:

1. Log in to Infinite Campus

2. Click the “My Accounts” button on the right side of your student dashboard

3. Select “Recurring Payments,” then click “Food Service”

4. Follow the prompts in the “Recurring Payment” window to set up automatic payments

Our online system in Infinite Campus also allows parents and guardians to make decisions and set limits for their student, including:

• Blocking ala carte purchases. This prevents students from buying snacks in addition to their daily meal, or from purchasing additional cartons of milk.

• Setting a daily purchase limit. The “Single Purchasable Restriction” option allows parents and guardians to set a daily limit for how much money their student can spend.

It is important to note that these limits are set in Infinite Campus and only apply to purchases that are made through the student’s electronic nutrition account. All limits and blocks remain in effect until a parent or guardian requests in writing that the account be changed.

To update your student’s meal purchase settings, please email foodservice@lindberghschools.ws.

Parents and guardians can review a student’s purchase history and account activity in the “Food Service” section, on the Infinite Campus Portal.
