Principal e-Note

As we prepare to embark on a new school year, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the incredible journey ahead. This year, our theme is "Going for the Gold," and we are all set to channel the Olympic spirit of excellence, perseverance, and teamwork.

Just like Olympians, our students, teachers, and families are champions, each with unique strengths and talents. Together, we will strive for greatness, celebrate our achievements, and support one another through every challenge.

In Partnership,

Christina and Brandy

As summer winds down I want to share some important information that will help prepare for the coming school year.

• Teacher Assignments are now available on the Infinite Campus Portal
• Meet the Teacher Night is August 15th. We ask that you sign up for a slot using this link. This will help alleviate some traffic and provide a more relaxed environment for you and your child.
• Meet the Teacher is an opportunity to bring all school supplies before the first day of school. The school supply lists can be found using this link.
• Kindergarten Orientation will be at 5pm on August 15th. This is for families and students.
• Bus Information (numbers and routes) will be available approximately one week before school starts. Parents and students can find their bus number at that time through Infinite Campus.
• Long Family Handbook
• Be sure to Follow Long on Facebook
• Be sure to Follow Long PTO on Facebook

Arrival:

Students will be entering the building through the main entrance. They may stop and get breakfast in the cafeteria. Doors open at 8:35. There is no adult supervision until this time, so please do not drop students off early.

All children who are late to school after 8:55 a.m. will need to sign in at the office.

Morning Drop Off:

In the morning, caregivers will drop off and students will enter the building by using the main entrances indicated on the image below. We ask that caregivers do not get out of the car in the pick-up line. We will have adults direct students on the crosswalk. If you need to walk your child to the front doors please park and do not go through the drop off line.

Afternoon Pick-Up:

We ask that all caregivers download the PikMyKid app, see information below. This app allows you to check in and adds your child's name to our list. Caregivers that pick-up will enter through the parking lot's main entrance and form two lines. If your student is a pick-up they will wait in the gym until their name is called. Caregivers do not get out of the car. We will have staff members walk your children out and to the cars after the car line stops moving.

*This process is slower the first few days as our youngest students learn the routine

In partnership with First Student, Lindbergh Schools is now using the FirstView app to communicate bus information with families in real time, including your student’s pickup and drop-off times, and any delays or notifications. FirstView allows you to track your student’s bus location, set alerts and receive updates in the event of a delay.

The app is designed to provide families with a guideline for bus location and estimated time of arrival. However, students should still be at their assigned bus stop 10 minutes prior to estimated or scheduled arrival time. If you do not have access to a smartphone, you can access the FirstView desktop portal.
