Then students and staff will be dismissed (leaving their bags in their 6th hour) to the main building, gyms, cafeterias, and fields to participate in a variety of activities. Students not wishing to participate in games will have the option to watch a movie during this time in a specific location, but students (and staff) that want to participate will have a wide variety to choose from.

You can join the PE Department at Flyers Field to test your fitness and see who the "Fittest At Lindbergh" really is in each class and in our staff. You can head to the back fields and compete in a variety of races, frisbee golf, or some good old-fashioned kick ball. Head to our gyms and compete in games like dodgeball, football bowling, gaga-ball, or hungry hippos. You can head to the tennis courts for some pickle ball or soccer tennis.

New Social-Emotional Screeners for the 2022-23 School Year Lindbergh Schools is committed to supporting all students’ mental wellness and social-emotional learning (SEL). The district is introducing new SEL screening surveys 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 9-12th.

Lindbergh is piloting two SEL survey programs, Satchel-Pulse and Panorama, for the 22-23 school year. Students in grades 9 and 11 will participate in Panorama, and students in grades 10 and 12 will participate in Satchel-Pulse.

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 the new screening surveys, 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.

More about Panorama and Satchel Pulse Student Surveys:

Panorama (9th and 11th Grade) is a 36-item student-rater screening tool. Students respond to computer-based questions aligned to social, academic, and emotional behaviors.

Click here to see the SEL topics and screening questions on the Panorama student survey tool. In order to learn more about student experiences at school, we will administer an online survey in October and March. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete.

Satchel-Pulse (10th and 12th Grade) is a 25-item student-rater screening tool. Students respond to computer-based questions aligned to social, academic, and emotional behaviors.

Click here to see the SEL topics and screening questions on the Satchel-Pulse student survey tool. In order to learn more about student experiences at school, we will administer an online survey in October and March. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete.

For more information regarding the importance of SEL screening, test administration windows, and how to opt out of SEL screening click here.
Teacher of the Month Student Council is offering a chance to nominate a teacher for recognition each month at LHS.

How to Email Your Student’s Teacher

Communicating with your student’s teacher is easy to do, even if you don’t have their email address. This summer, Lindbergh Schools has removed teacher email addresses from the public-facing district website in response to security recommendations our district Technology Department received from the Department of Homeland Security, to help prevent malicious phishing attempts. However, teacher contact information is still available in the SIS Portal and Canvas, by following these directions:


SIS Portal (Grades PK-12)

  1. Log in to the SIS Portal

  2. Click “Send Email” in the left-hand menu

  3. Select which teacher(s) you want to message by checking the box next to their name

  4. Click “Ok”

  5. On the next page, fill out the subject line and text of your message

  6. Click “Send”


Canvas (Grades 6-12, and some elementary)

Lindbergh teacher contact information is listed on each Canvas course homepage. This information includes e-mail address, phone extension and office hours. If your student’s teacher does not have their contact information listed, please let us know.

Election Judge Volunteers Needed As you know, this year’s November 8th General Election voters will be choosing candidates and deciding on ballot issues at the federal, state, and local levels. The St. Louis County Election Board expects voter turnout to be high for this mid-term election, hence the need for more Election Judges and Student Election Judges to serve the public. We are asking the Lindbergh Community to assist the Election Board in meeting the staffing challenge for the November Election.

Election Judges play a pivotal role in making it possible for citizens to rightfully exercise the franchise on Election Day. High School Student Election Judges greatly contribute to this effort by assisting these Election Judges in administering the electoral process. Students’ responsibilities will include assisting our veteran Election Judges in processing and managing voter lines. We also encourage any seniors who are 18 years of age to consider serving as official Election Judges.

Students will have the option to receive county service hours or pay for their work.

Here is a link to information about the program.

The High School Student Election Judge Program offers an excellent opportunity for students to study and experience firsthand how elections are organized and administered. Serving gives students to be part of a grand community experience and for them to learn the importance of civic duty as they enter adulthood.
