Carline help needed at morning Arrival time: We are experiencing delays in our morning Carline and need your help when dropping off in the back blacktop area. Families & Caregivers should NOT get out of their car in the Carline. Remaining in the car helps maintain the flow of our Carline. Say "goodbyes/have a good day" with your child(ren) before getting to the drop off points on the blacktop area. We have staff members in place to welcome and help your child get into the building safely!

Allergy and Asthma Care

It is not too late to bring in epi pens or inhalers for your child that has allergies, requiring an epi pen, or asthma that requires an inhaler occasionally. Please bring them to me, in the nurse's office, and I will keep them for your child’s use during school hours.

If you have a child here with asthma or food allergies requiring medication, please send an updated Action Plan for our records.We need a new Action Plan every year. These come from your child’s medical provider and are very helpful in guiding us on the care for your child while here at school. Usually you just need to call their medical provider and they will fax the Action Plan to me.

Procedure for Exclusion from School due to Illness

Certain conditions require exclusion from school to prohibit the spread of viral and bacterial disease. This is to protect both the uninfected population and the infected person. The school nurse will use his/her professional judgment when assessing the person and judging whether to exclude.

Students/staff with the following symptoms should be excluded until symptom free or a licensed care professional submits a letter of non-contagious status:

• Fever of 100.4F or more

• Persistent coughing or difficulty breathing

• Abnormal, discolored nasal drainage

• Any unidentified and/or widespread rash or weeping lesions

• Persistent pain (headache, ear, stomach, throat, etc.)

• Any untreated or suspected cases of conjunctivitis with colored discharge

• Communicable diseases such as Influenza, COVID19, chicken pox, untreated impetigo or scabies

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

Students may not return to school until they are free from all symptoms for a 24-hour period without medication assistance.

1. Log in to Infinite Campus

2. On the left menu, click MORE

3. Then select ASSESSMENTS

To learn more about the assessment scale scores and achievement levels, please see the attached interpreting results guides:

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.

“From Stories to Service” is returning in fall 2024, and we are looking for volunteers to read and select books for consideration. Volunteers will be responsible for reading and completing a short evaluation of 15-20 picture books, and attending a committee meeting in late September.

Hello! My name is Lara Pimentel and I am serving as the Student Representative for Lindbergh’s Board of Education for the 2024-25 school year. Representing students from across our district is important to me because I want to ensure that students get a say in their education experience. That is why I am looking for students currently in grades 4-8 to participate in next year’s Student Board Representative Advisory group.

Each month, I will visit a different school in the district and talk to a small group of students. These short meetings take place during the school day for elementary schools, and directly after school for middle schools. In these meetings, I ask questions to the group of students and gather feedback regarding their experiences at Lindbergh. We look at what our schools are doing well and which areas could be improved upon.

From there, I share key information with the Board of Education and provide suggestions on ways to address student concerns.

So, if you are interested in representing your classmates, please fill out this form before Friday, Sept. 6!
