Great Start to the 2021-2022 School Year!

LMS is off to a great start this year. Staff and students have been establishing routines and getting to know each other. Parents have been very supportive in every area including discipline, quarantines, and new school jitters. As we continue to follow the GCHD guidelines, please look for Superintendent Ciesielski's parent informational letters regarding new mandates. The current GCHD order may be found at the following link: GCHD 9.2.21. The Genesee County Health Department & Linden Community Schools are working hard to keep students in school.
