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:

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.

Fall Play Synopsis - Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap is a classic murder mystery that has captivated audiences for decades. Set in an isolated English country guesthouse during a snowstorm, the play follows a group of strangers who are stranded together when they learn a murderer is on the loose. Tensions rise as secrets are revealed, and everyone becomes a suspect. With its clever twists and an ending that will keep you guessing until the very last moment, The Mousetrap is a thrilling whodunit that has earned its place as the longest-running play in history.
