Early College Information Class of 2024 and 2025, Are you interested in learning more about the Early College Program? Mrs. Hays and Ms. Keegan will be hosting an Early College Informational Meeting on Thursday, Dec. 15, during power lunch A in the Counseling Office (located in the new building). Early college students spend their junior and senior years of high school taking college classes full time. This fully-immersive college experience allows students to get a real college experience, graduating with both a high school diploma and an Associate’s Degree. Please see attachment for additional information and deadlines. We look forward to seeing you on Dec. 15, however, if you are unable to attend please reach out to Ms. Keegan: katherinekeegan@lindberghschools.ws. For details about Early College Please see the attachment.

Important Parking Information Students, if you are accumulating multiple parking violations by parking illegally on our lot during the school day, you will be risking your ability to receive a parking spot next year. Next year, when we give out our parking spots, students who have frequent parking violations will be placed at the bottom of the priority list. I know everyone would love to be able to park on our campus, but we only have so many spots available. When you park illegally, you are taking away someone else’s spot. This includes parking at the Early Childhood Center. I sincerely wish we had enough parking for every student who wants it, but we have what we have.

Middle Ground Club For those interested in promoting civil discourse between those with different political opinions, please consider joining this student led group.

Winter Weather Update for Families

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.

In the event of inclement weather, we will decide 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.

Expect Traffic Delays on East Watson

Lindbergh families who use East Watson to travel to or from school may experience delays over the next several weeks, due to construction related to the MSD East Watson Sanitary Relief project. Work began this week and will continue through January 2023. Please allow extra time for pickup and drop-off during this time.

Lindbergh Schools and our partner First Student Transportation are in frequent communication with the contractors overseeing this project. In addition, we are communicating directly with families of students whose bus routes will be impacted.

For more information, please visit the MSD East Watson Sanitary Relief project website.
