2023-2024 school year reminders
- School Hours are 8am-3pm
- The front parking lot is not a parent pick up location in the afternoon. All students will be picked up on the side of the building off of Robyn.
- Students will be allowed into the building at 7:42am each morning
- Please have your student fully charge their iPads each evening
- Please be extremely careful on and around campus when you are driving. If you have any family members driving please ask them the same thing. The safety of our students is a top priority and we need your help ensuring that all students are safe.
- For AM drop off, the traffic flow pattern picture below indicates the best drop off point in the morning. The primary drop location is on the side of the building off of Robyn. The overflow location is the furthest left lane in the front of school. Please do not block the flow of traffic to get into the front lot. Continue on to the side parking lot/building as the front lot is overflow only.
LHS home football games
We just wanted to communicate expectations for attending high school football games:
- Middle school students are welcome at games and must be accompanied by a parent and supervised.
- Students must remain seated if they choose to hang out on the hill.
- No outside sports equipment allowed.
- Watch and enjoy the game.
- Do not wander to off-limits locations or the visiting team's side.
- Students who do not follow our expectations will be asked to leave.

Please Check Infinite Campus for Bus Route Changes
As we enter the third week of school, it is important that all families who use bus transportation log in to Infinite Campus on Monday, Sept. 5, and check their student’s pickup and drop-off times, and bus stop location. Routes will be adjusted this weekend, with updated information available on Monday, Sept. 5.
During the first weeks of school, the district works closely with our transportation provider First Student to make adjustments to bus routes, add new riders and create a schedule that is efficient, safe and reliable. Some minor adjustments may be possible as a result.
A good rule of thumb is to allow about 10 minutes of flexibility from the scheduled pickup and drop-off times, in case a bus is running early or taking a few extra minutes to arrive.

This short presentation is designed to help families navigate Lindbergh’s new Student Information System, Infinite Campus. Learn how to use the most common features on your desktop computer or mobile device.
