Longhorn Letter
January 2022
Dear Longhorn Families
We are half way there! At Linton this 2nd Semester, we will continue to grow students not only to be academically successful, but to be all-around good children with integrity and honesty.
At the beginning of this New Year, we reflect on what a great fall we’ve had and look forward to the new year! 2022 will be an even brighter, and more exciting year for learning and growing here at Linton Elementary!
With the latest rise in numbers for COVID in the city we want to stress that we are continuing our cleaning protocols and helping our students stay safe. Even though masks are not mandated, we are following our Districts suggestion of encouraging them for all during the increase in positive cases.
Our newsletter if full of some important news, including a message from Dr. Woods, so we hope you find some time to look through it.

COVID Vaccine Clinic
Northside ISD has partnered with area health providers to host a free COVID -19 Vaccine clinic on our campus on Wednesday, January 12.
Vaccines will be provided for family members aged 5 - 11. A parent or guardian must be present to provide consent for the vaccine.
Vaccines will be provided from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Forms will be provided at the clinic to be filled out.
This partnership is intended as a service for our school community and is open to those families who choose to participate.
Spring Early Release Days
Trustees approved changes to the District’s 2021-2022 school calendar to give teachers more planning time.
These five Student Early Dismissal Days are
Jan. 26
Feb. 16
March 23
April 20
May
Elementary schools will dismiss at 11:45 a.m., middle schools at 12:40 p.m., and high schools at 1 p.m. Breakfast and sack lunches will be provided on these days.
For families who need it, adult supervision will be available at all elementary schools, so students can remain on campus until the end of the normal school day. Learning Tree will also be available at traditional times.
Kinder Round Up
Here is what is needed for registration:
- Birth Certificate
- Proof Of Residency (example: CPS Energy Bill, Cable Bill, SAWS Bill)
- Child's Social Security Card or State ID
- Current Shot Record
- Parent/Legal Guardian's Drivers License or ID card (If do not have a DL)
(Items are not needed if you child is already attending Linton for PreK - but you still must register for Kinder online)
Changes In How Your Child Goes Home
For your child’s safety and security at dismissal, please refrain from making dismissal changes after 1:00pm. We want to be sure to get each child home in a safe and accurate manner. When there are last minute changes, time for appropriate communication with the teachers, daycares, and buses becomes an issue.
Cafeteria Menus - Child Nutrician Department
MealViewer
MealViewer is a platform that allows parents the opportunity to view daily menus, nutritional information and allergens so that they are aware of what their students are eating.
