NO SCHOOL - Monday, September 2nd
Dressel Families,
We had a great second week. As you can see from the pictures below, students and teachers are working on building their classroom routines and expectations. We look forward to continuing to build on this work throughout the year.
Once again, here are a few reminders:
- Toys, cards, play equipment should stay at home.
- Please monitor the footwear your student is wearing. This helps ensure they can fully participate in recess, PE and other activities. We really encourage students to wear tennis shoes on a daily basis. If you haven't done so, check out PE's Facebook page!
- We kindly ask that you label all student things so we can try to get them back.
- Important Dates are below.
In partnership,
Dr. Patrick Schoenekase
Dr. Jen Albers

2024-25 Student Board Representative Advisory Group - Apply Today!
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 next 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!
How to Manage Your Student’s Meal Account
Lindbergh’s Student Information System, Infinite Campus, allows parents and guardians to set up recurring payments for student meal balances, and reload student balances automatically when they reach a determined threshold. In addition, yellow deposit envelopes are available in each school cafeteria for families who prefer to pay with cash or check (made payable to “Lindbergh Schools.”).
To set up automatic payments for your student, please follow these instructions:
Log in to Infinite Campus
Click the “My Accounts” button on the right side of your student dashboard
Select “Recurring Payments,” then click “Food Service”
Follow the prompts in the “Recurring Payment” window to set up automatic payments
Our online system in Infinite Campus also allows parents and guardians to make decisions and set limits for their student, including:
Blocking ala carte purchases. This prevents students from buying snacks in addition to their daily meal, or from purchasing additional cartons of milk.
Setting a daily purchase limit. The “Single Purchasable Restriction” option allows parents and guardians to set a daily limit for how much money their student can spend.
It is important to note that these limits are set in Infinite Campus and only apply to purchases that are made through the student’s electronic nutrition account. All limits and blocks remain in effect until a parent or guardian requests in writing that the account be changed.
To update your student’s meal purchase settings, please email foodservice@lindberghschools.ws.
Parents and guardians can review a student’s purchase history and account activity in the “Food Service” section, on the Infinite Campus Portal.
