Hi Long Families!

Join us for the Families in Block event, held over two days: November 19th and November 20th. You are welcome to attend for one or both days during your child's block time!

[Click here] to view which block classes your student will have on which days, along with their block class time.

While you're at Long, be sure to visit the Book Fair with your student during the 30-minute window after attending their block class. (For 3rd-graders, since their block class is at the end of the day, you can visit the Book Fair with them during the 30 minutes before their block class.)

[Click here] to RSVP for the event so we can prepare activities and print visitor name tags ahead of time. (Please fill out the form separately for each child if you plan to attend for more than one student.)

We look forward to seeing you on November 19th & 20th! (Please show up a little early to this event so you have enough time to sign into the office.)

Sincerely,

Mrs. Grebe - Design Lab,

Coach Luna - P.E.

Mrs. Stevens - Art,

Ms. Kellermann - Music,

Mrs. Levine - Library

Students are welcome to wear costumes to school on October 31st as a spirit day. Costumes are optional, and to ensure that the school day proceeds without interruption, they must meet the following requirements:

• Students must be able to wear the costume to school and throughout the school day without any adult assistance (no changing clothes at school)

• Costume must not cover the face

• No Scary or Violent Themes: No Costumes that are too frightening, bloody, or violent
• No Weapons or Dangerous Props: Props such as toy swords, guns, or knives are prohibited
• Cultural Sensitivity: avoid costumes that appropriate or stereotype cultures
  

First Trimester Conferences will be held in person November 6th and 7th from 4pm-7pm. Individual teachers will be sending out sign-ups.

As we prepare for our upcoming family conferences, we aim to ensure that every conference is focused on your child's academic growth and well-being. In order to make the best use of our time and to maintain consistency in discussing your child’s progress, we kindly ask that both parents sign up for only one conference per student, even if you are living in separate households.

If you would like to visit Art, Music, PE, Design Lab, or Library they will be available all evening from 4-7. You may stop by or email them for a specific time.

Lindbergh High School Student Council is sponsoring Boonanza at 6 p.m., Oct. 26, and all are welcome to attend! Children can sign up for a costume contest in the following age groups: 1-5, 6-8 and 9-11. This fun and free event will also include free activities for kids and lots of Halloween fun.

Head lice are a common problem, especially among school-aged children and their families. Our district is not seeing a rise in cases at this time; however, it is common to see additional cases around Halloween, as people try on costumes and headpieces in stores. As a precaution, we want to provide families with prevention tools and inform you of district practices. Head lice can be a nuisance, but they have not been shown to spread disease. In addition, personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has nothing to do with getting head lice. Please click the link below for additional information.
