Message from Principal Garcia
Dear Linden Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed this hot and sunny summer. Our administrators, administrative assistants, and custodial staff have been working hard to make sure that our building is ready for the new and exciting school year. In just a few days we will be back at Linden and ready to focus on teaching and learning and supporting all of our students.
Please make sure to check the Principal's Corner for announcements and resources. I would like to remind you to join the LSA Class Dojo to receive our school notifications. Please click on the link to join https://www.classdojo.com/invite/?c=CLE93VJ.
Please reach out to Ms. Jones (jjones@maldenps.org), Mr. Yost (jyost@maldenps.org), or Mr. Garcia (rgarcia@maldenps.org) if you have any questions or concerns. We would be happy to help you.
Thank you and enjoy the rest of your summer!
Mr. Garcia
