Girls on the Run registration is open! This program is for girls in 3rd-5th grade. Please see the attached flyer for sign up instructions and additional information on practice dates/times. Participant registration ends February 26th.

Girls on the Run Volunteers...we are also looking for parent volunteers to help with the program. If interested in hearing more information please contact Jamie Haberberger, jamie.haberberger@gmail.com.

• Walkers: If your student walks, please know they can not enter the building until 8:40. Please do not drop your student off alone to play on the playground or stand outside the building. This is a safety concern as there are no staff members outside to monitor students.
• Car Riders: Before your student exits the car, please make sure you have pulled your car as far as you can down the side of the building. This ensures a faster drop off line for everyone! There are plenty of staff members who will ensure your student gets safely into the building.
• Musick Road: Please do not drop your student off directly on Musick Road in front of the crosswalk. This is a huge safety concern for all!

In the fall, Lindbergh Schools administered a universal social-emotional learning (SEL) screening survey to all elementary school students. This March, we will administer the 2nd and final screening survey for the 22-23 school year.

The district is introducing new SEL screening tools for the 2022-23 school year that will serve two purposes:

1. They will help the district to evaluate the effectiveness of district-level mental health and social and emotional programming.

2. They will identify areas of strengths and needs for individual students in grades K-5.

SEL screening is not new to Lindbergh. In previous years, the district has administered anonymous surveys that provided administrators with an overall view of student experiences within our schools. With this new screening tool, parents will have access to individual students' results, and it will also equip teachers to better identify students who may be in need of additional support in the areas of academic, emotional, and social skills.

Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screening (SAEBRS)

There are two components to the K-5 SAEBRS tool:

1. Teacher observation risk-rating scale (referred to as SAEBRS)

2. Student-rater screening tool (referred to as mySAEBRS).

SAEBRS is a 19-item rating scale completed by the classroom teacher and based on teacher observations. It is used to help monitor student strengths and areas of concern. This will be completed by all teachers in grades K-5.

mySAEBRS is a 20-item student-rater screening tool. Students respond to computer-based questions aligned to social, academic, and emotional behaviors. This will be administered only in grades 3-5.

Both SAEBRS and mySAEBRS screen for strengths and areas of concern aligned to the following domains:

• Social Development: Students’ ability to understand social norms, empathize, and understand the perspectives of others.

• Academic Development: Skills necessary for students to be prepared for, participate in and benefit from academic instruction.

• Emotional Development: Students’ ability to regulate internal states, adapt to change and respond to stressful or challenging events.

This document includes sample screening questions on the mySAEBRS and SAEBRs screening tools.

SAEBRS Questions

For more information regarding the importance of SEL screening and how to opt out of SEL screening, click here. If you completed an opt out form in the fall, you will not need to complete one for the spring. If you are new to the district, the opt-out form is open until February 24th.

The NWEA math and reading results are available in SIS. Use this guide for more information on NWEA and how to interpret results.

To access your student’s NWEA Math and Reading results:

1. Log on to the SIS Parent Portal with your username and password.

1. Note: Your username is your email address on file. If you have forgotten your password, please select “Forgot your parent password?” on the Parent tab.

2. Under Current Academics (left side menu) - select Assessments. Assessments can only be viewed in a web browser (mobile or desktop) and not the SIS app.

3. Select the title of the Assessment you want to view

It's almost time for incoming kindergarten students to register for the 2023-24 school year! Elementary schools will be registering students beginning the week of Feb. 6.

It is very important that new families do not begin the registration process before Feb. 6, because the district is moving to a new student information system and will not be using the current SIS Portal for new families.

For more information, please visit https://go.lindberghschools.ws/register.
