No Place for Hate comes to Lundahl Middle School!

Click the link to read all about it!

Do you want to make a difference at Lundahl Middle School? It's time to make the Lundahl No Place for Hate commitment. Please sign the promise sheet if you can help us abide by the pledge. From this day forward, I commit to making school NO PLACE FOR HATE. Thank you!

During the cold winter weather, be sure that your child comes to school with appropriate winter coats, hats, gloves, etc. Students go outside daily for lunch recess and need to be dressed for the weather. The guidelines established by District 47 during cold weather are as follows:

• Temperature/Wind Chill of 15 degrees or warmer = unlimited time outside

• Temperature/Wind Chill of 0 to 15 degrees = 20 minutes outside

• Below 0 degrees = Students remain indoors

As the weather turns colder, we thought it would be helpful to share some information with you about students arriving and leaving during the school day.

Arriving after the start of the school day:

• Drop your student off and direct them to go to the main entrance at the front of the building and ring the buzzer on stone pilar. The front office will check them in and direct them to class. You do not need to come with your child to check them in.

• If your student is running late but will be at school before the end of first period, you do not need to call the school.

• If your student is arriving later than 8:30, please report it using the attendance link in ParentVue and note the estimated time of late arrival. The student’s absence will be adjusted accordingly once the student arrives.

A parent/guardian written notification is required to dismiss a student during the school day. If possible, please do ONE of the following:

• Report it using the attendance link in ParentVue and note your pick up time and any other pertinent information. Please note, this does mark the student absent for the day, but attendance is reviewed on an ongoing basis and will be corrected accordingly.
• Send an email to lmsschool@d47.org with pick up time and other pertinent information.

If you are unable to provide written notification to pick up your student, you will need to go to our Main Entrance (door #2), ring the buzzer on the stone pilar to let us know you’re here, and sign them out on the clipboard at the office window. We will then call the student out of class and send them out to you.

We are excited to announce the opening of the “Lundahl Closet”. This closet is filled with new and gently used items that may be needed by our students or their family members. Examples of items we currently have are: coats, hats, mittens, scarves, sweatshirts and socks. Please feel free to reach out to Ms. Staggs ( kstaggs@d47.org) or Mrs. Ljunggren (klljunggren@d47.org) if you or your student are interested in checking out what is available. All items are free.

Calling all students!! Make sure to order your yearbook! The last day to order is February 28th. Yearbooks are currently on sale for $26.00. To order online at Jostens click here
