This fall, all Lindbergh students in grades 3-5 participated in screening using the Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener (mySAEBRS). The purpose of this screener is to provide a big-picture measure of the student experience at Lindbergh Schools and identify individual students who may need additional support in the areas of academic, emotional, and social skills.

It is important to note that these surveys provide only a glimpse or snapshot of a student's response on the day the screener was administered. No data point should ever be used as a sole indicator when determining needs for students. Below, please find the interpretation guides:

Viewing Results on Infinite Campus

How to access your student’s results in Infinite Campus:

1. Log in to Infinite Campus with your username and password.

2. On the left menu, click MORE

3. Then click ASSESSMENTS

4. Scroll down to the “District Tests” section, and look for the “SAEBRS” heading

As colder weather approaches, now is a good time to remind families and staff how we prepare for potential school closures that can result from snow, ice, or other severe weather events. The district decides to close school based on a number of factors, including student safety, bus transportation, road conditions and wind chill temperature.

When possible, the decision to close school is made by 10 p.m. the night before. However, if the decision cannot be made by 10 p.m., then a decision will be made between 5 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. the next morning. If the decision is made to cancel school, all families and staff will receive a phone call, text message and email notification.
