Families-

We ask for your patience and flexibility during the first weeks of school. You should expect delays in dismissal procedures and bus transportation for the first week or two.

It is not unusual to have students arriving to their designated bus stop 15-20 minutes later than the expected time as drivers adjust to the routes and our youngest riders learn their stops.

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:

attendance-sappington@lindberghschools.ws AND Your child’s teacher.

This email address is directly linked to our office staff.

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.

Download FirstView App for Real-Time Bus Information

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.

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 this 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!

As we start this new school year, we also celebrate our success from 2023-24. From Stories to Service brings together Lindbergh elementary students and community members for a shared reading experience, and we are excited to continue the program this year in all six elementary schools! Look at how the project came together, and what its creators hope to bring to future iterations.

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.

We are excited to bring you lots of great events and help support our wonderful staff this year! Please FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK and VISIT OUR PTBOARD WEBSITE where you will find all the up-to-date information on events and fundraisers and access to lots of Sappington resources!

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.
