Did you know? Parents can email foodservice@lindberghschools.ws to block ala carte purchases 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.

These limits 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.

You can communicate your child's absence by calling our attendance line at 314-729-2460.

You can also send an email regarding your child’s attendance to:

Sappington Families-

First and foremost, we want to emphasize that we welcome and encourage our elementary school students to attend high school sporting events to support our district and community.

However, it is our top priority to ensure the safety of all students, and we need your help in achieving this goal. With large crowds, spirited atmospheres, and potential distractions, we kindly request that elementary school students remain under the direct supervision of an adult during the entire duration of Lindbergh High School football games.

Please read the following expectations that will apply to our elementary students for attending our high school games:

• No outside sports equipment allowed.
• Elementary school students are welcome at games and must remain with an adult throughout the game.
• Watch and enjoy the game.
• Elementary students should not wander to off-limits locations or the visiting team's side.
• Elementary students should be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• Students who do not follow our expectations will be asked to leave.
• Remember that school policies and rules apply at District events.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. We look forward to your continued support of Lindbergh High School.

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.

Students may arrive in the building between 8:35 and 8:45 if they are being dropped off by an adult. Students arriving on the bus will have admittance into the building beginning at 8:35 AM.

We will dismiss students from campus beginning at 3:35 PM.

Important:

• Enter our campus on Gravois by making a right turn only. Flashers on please.
• Exit our campus by making a right turn only on Gravois.

Following these instructions will help us a great deal with the flow of traffic and hopefully prevent us from causing as much of a huge backup on Gravois. As always, thank you for your patience.

Please practice caution and put cell phones away during arrival and dismissal.

Morning car riders

• Please do not let your child out of the car until you have reached the designated areas with staff supervision. The flag pole is not a safe spot to begin.
• Adults-please remain in your vehicle to help us ensure a smooth and efficient arrival process.
• You can help us tremendously by getting all your hugs and kisses at home, having their backpack ready, and having a smile on your face as you wave goodbye. THANK YOU!
  

Walkers

• If you are walking to and from school, please ensure you are walking the entire route to/from your home. Please do not drive and park along Gravois or the neighboring condominiums, apartments, etc.
• We will have all morning walkers enter the building at our entrances near the main door.
• Adults for afternoon walkers, please wait along the sidewalk near the front entrance. A staff member will come out to assist you.

In partnership with the district’s transportation provider First Student, Lindbergh Schools uses the FirstView app to communicate bus information with families in real time. This includes student pickup and drop-off times, and any delays or notifications.

1. Download the FirstView app from the Apple or Google Play store

2. Click the yellow button that says “Tap here to add a new student”

3. Make sure the fields are set as follows:

1. State = “Missouri”

2. District = “Lindbergh SD”

3. Student Number = In this field, please enter your student’s 10-digit Student Number, which is located on the “Student Profile” page in Infinite Campus

It is important to note that bus routes change from year to year, so your student’s bus stop and pickup/drop-off times may not be the same as last year. Families are required to sign up for transportation services annually.

Sappington uses the PikMyKid platform to improve the safety and efficiency of our pick-up process. Families will need to download the PikMyKid app on their cell phones. This free app can be found in the app store and will allow you to notify the school of pick-up changes, authorize others to pick-up your child from school, alert you when your child has been picked up or sent home on the bus, as well as help organize the car line during pick-up.

• The registration process is easy. If you have not done so already, we ask that all families register with the phone application as soon as possible. Please make sure you register with your personal current mobile phone number or the app will not allow you to access your child’s information for security reasons.

• If you do not think the school has your mobile number on file or if your child does not appear on your app’s home page, contact support@pikmykid.com after registration, with your child’s name, school, grade, and updated contact information for you.

• Anyone who will be picking up your child should also register themselves with the application. Their screen will be blank and they will not have any authorization until you allow it within the app.
