District Updates
Winter Weather Reminder for Families
As colder weather approaches, now is a good time to remind families and staff how we prepare for potential school closures that can result from snow, ice, or other severe weather events. The district decides to close school based on a number of factors, including student safety, bus transportation, road conditions and wind chill temperature.
When possible, the decision to close school is made by 10 p.m. the night before. However, if the decision cannot be made by 10 p.m., then a decision will be made between 5 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. the next morning. If the decision is made to cancel school, all families and staff will receive a phone call, text message and email notification.
LPAC Webinar: Building Social Connections Through Playdates and Hangouts
6-7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 3
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.
