2023-24 Annual Verification of Student Information

Completing your student’s required paperwork through the Annual Verification process each summer helps us prepare for a successful start to the school year.

Each year, our district requires Annual Verification of information to be completed for all new and returning students. This helps us guarantee bus transportation, confirm contact information, assign teachers and create student schedules, learn about your student’s health needs, and make sure meal accounts are set up and ready to go.

We appreciate your patience as we transition to our new student information system, Infinite Campus. Infinite Campus is replacing the SIS Portal that has been used in previous years, and we are working hard behind the scenes to make sure everything is ready for the new school year.

If you have received your link and have been able to register, please complete the Annual Verification process on the Infinite Campus Portal.

If you have not received a link or your registration is not allowing you access, please email ICSupport@lindberghschools.ws. We ask for your patience as we work to respond to each email as quickly as possible.


How to Access Infinite Campus

To access Infinite Campus, parents and guardians must first create a new user account. This can be done by clicking the link in the Infinite Campus email that is automatically being sent to families each week. It is essential to follow the step-by-step directions in this auto-generated email, in order to ensure access to the verification process.

Helpful tips for creating an account in Infinite Campus:

  1. Use Google Chrome.

  2. Do not exit the Infinite Campus portal until your account security has been verified. Account security can happen in two ways after you create your username and password:

    1. Go to your email inbox and click the auto-generated link to verify, OR

    2. In Infinite Campus, select the person icon, then click “settings,” “account settings,” and “account security email” to enter your email address.

  3. Bookmark the Infinite Campus link in your web browser.

  4. Record your username and password for future reference.

Notes from Nurse Emily

Medications at School

If your child requires any medication during the school day (inhalers, epi pens, ibuprofen, lunchtime medications, etc.), please note the following requirements:

-must be in original box/prescription container with label

-must be brought in by an adult

-must have physician order (rx label or note from provider for any OTC meds)

-must have signed parent permission form (Click Here for the Form)

**PLEASE NOTE: Students are generally not permitted to carry medication to and from school. If your child's condition requires him/her to carry emergency medication, please get additional required paperwork from Nurse Emily


Nurse Emily will be available at K-5 Meet the Teacher nights for medication drop offs and regular school days 8:25-3:35. Outside of those times by appointment only.


Extra Clothes - ALL GRADE LEVELS

As you pack your child's backpack for the year, please include a spare change of clothes. At some point in the year, students from every grade level will need a backup outfit! These are used for much more than bathroom accidents - rips, falls in the mud, stuck in the rain, spills, and much more. This is especially important for older students who prefer their own clothes and need the larger sizes that are very limited in the nurse's office. Packing a spare outfit now will save you a trip up to school in the middle of the school year!

Upcoming Events

Please review the informational flyers below! There are a number of events coming up soon and all-things-school get back in gear!

Pik My Kid

We utilize the Pik My Kid app during dismissal and to communicate absences. If you are unfamiliar with Pik My Kid, you are strongly encouraged to review the content link below. If you don't have the app, please visit your app store and find the free download. [Please note: dismissal is a process that will grow in efficiency each day. Each year we have new teacher, students, and families that need a few days to learn the routines. Thanks for offer everyone some grace! ]

Lunch Pins

This year all students will be required to enter their lunch pins if they are purchasing lunch from the cafeteria. Lunch pins can be found on SIS. We will help students through this process, but please also practice at home.
