First Day
Do not worry if you weren't able to attend locker set-up! We suggest that students only bring what they can comfortably carry in their backpacks on the first day and then bring the rest over the course of the week. For the first day, folders, notebooks, and pens/pencils should be all that is needed.
Staff members will be on hand as students arrive on the first day to help direct them to their period one classroom. ALL students will receive a copy of their schedule and their locker number/combination in their Homeroom (1st Period) class on the first day of attendance, Wednesday 8/16. Students will be given lots of time to find their classrooms and practice opening their lockers.

Required Health Exams and Immunizations
Reporting Student Absences via ParentVue
Daily Announcements
We encourage all students to pay attention to our daily announcements. They are also posted each afternoon on our website under Daily Announcements. This is an excellent resource for both parents and students to learn about upcoming events at LMS including but not limited to: Sports Tryouts/Signups/Games, Club start dates, Activity Nights, After School events, PTO Fundraising events, etc.
- There is also a button at the end of each newsletter that will take you to the Daily Announcements page!
PE Uniforms
PE Uniforms will be issued during PE class in the first week of school. The cost is $20 for a full uniform (one pair of shorts and two t-shirts). Purchase of a new uniform is not required if you currently have one. Uniform fees will be posted to your ParentVue account sometime in September and may be paid online via ParentVue or by cash or check.
Parking Lot Closed During Student Drop-off and Pick-up
In order to keep students safe, parents may not enter the parking lot in the morning or at dismissal unless prior arrangements have been made. The parking lot is closed to families until 7:40am during morning drop-off. In the afternoon, parents should not pull into the parking lot. Students will not be allowed to walk into the parking lot. Parents should park along Nash Rd. Students are taught to use sidewalks and only cross in cross walks. Thank you for your help in keeping all of our kids safe!
Welcome New Staff!
Notes From the Nurse
Welcome back Lundahl students and families! I am Kristi Ljunggren the RN. I will be here for your students daily from 7am-3pm. Please feel free to reach out to me with any health concerns that may arise during the year. As the year begins I want to remind everyone that many of our students and staff have mild to severe or life threatening food allergies. Please review this District 47 allergy letter prior to the first day. I look forward to a FUN and healthy year with your students.
Homework Club
On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, LMS hosts a homework club for students. Staff supervise students who might need a place to do work after a club ends until the activity buses leave at 4:10. Please note that this is a study hall environment until students from clubs and activities arrive at 3:30. At that point, it is a busier environment and not ideal to complete homework assignments. No advance sign up is required to attend, and students are not required to stay the entire time if they have made pick up arrangements to leave before 4:00. We encourage parents and students to discuss their after school arrangements in advance.
Activity Buses
The intent in providing these activity buses is to enable more of our students the opportunity to participate in school activities, clubs and sports. Activity buses run on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays throughout the school year. Buses depart from Lundahl on these days at 4:10 PM.
The activity bus is available to any Lundahl student who has a regularly scheduled bus. Students should review the bus route maps located in the front office as drop off locations are not the same as daily bus routes.
As new clubs begin, they will be added to our Clubs & Activities page on our website. We encourage parents and students to also check our Daily Announcements, which are posted on our website each day, to see what clubs are starting up soon.
