A Note from Mr. Moeckel : Dream Job Excitment
We had so much fun gazing into the future on Friday. It was great to be reminded that the young Flyers who walk our halls today are the same folks who will become the doctors, carpenters, teachers, chefs, and business owners of tomorrow. In the meantime, we continue to help each student learn and grow!
Thanks for partnering with us!

Hello Concord Flyer Grownups! Over the next few weeks your student will be learning about the importance of making healthy choices. We will cover topics of personal safety, basic hygiene, and how to navigate peer pressure. For our 4th and 5th graders, we will use age appropraite lessons to teach about the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco products. We hope our students will become strong advocates for their own health and wellness! Over the next few weeks, ask your student how they plan to keep their body and minds healthy!

2023-24 New Student Registration Opens on Feb. 6
Lindbergh Schools will open 2023-24 school year registration for new students on Monday, Feb. 6. This includes incoming kindergarten students and students in other grade levels who are transferring from another district. We encourage Concord families to enroll the week Feb 6- Feb 10. (You can enroll outside of this window)
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.
Please look for additional details coming soon, or visit https://go.lindberghschools.ws/register.
Student IEP Information Night Jan. 31
The Lindbergh Parent Advisory Council (LPAC) is presenting a series of informational nights to support families of students with an Individual Education Plan. You are invited to attend the second meeting in this series, from 6-7 p.m., Jan. 31, at Lindbergh Central Office, to learn about the Assistive Technology consultation process and to participate in demonstrations of universal tools available to all students who have an IEP. Examples will be provided for low- and high-tech Assistive Technology options that can be used in both the home and school environments.

LHS Representatives Share Student Voice with Board of Education
Congratulations to Lindbergh High School students, senior Althea Bartz-Willis and junior Adam Spree, who are serving as student representatives on the Lindbergh Schools Board of Education. The student representative program is new this year and was created in an effort to enhance student voice and expand student representation in district governance. Board President Jennifer Miller said both student representatives were selected for their involvement at school, leadership roles and experiences that lend themselves to represent student voices. We are proud to have them represent our student voices!

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.
