Linden Leopard Growl
March 22nd, 2023
Thank You Linden Community
Dear Linden Community,
Please know that Mr. Testani, his family, and the Linden faculty and staff have been deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support that has been received from you during this difficult time.
As you know, Mr. Testani's family recently suffered a tragic loss with the passing of their son. It has been an incredibly challenging time for them, but they have been strengthened by the love and support of their friends, family, and the Linden community. The kindness and generosity that you and others have shown towards Mr. Testani's family are being shared and have had a profound impact on them. They are very appreciative.
On behalf of Mr. Testani and his family, we at Linden would like to express our gratitude for your compassion and kindness.
Sincerely,
The Linden Faculty and Staff

Conferences & Report Cards
REMINDER:
Parent Teacher Conferences Monday, March 27th & Tuesday, March 28th- It is also an EARLY DISMISSAL Day- 12:25pm
Report Cards:
Report cards will be available for families to view in the Parent Portal on March 29th at 1:00 PM.
Please be aware that teachers may not report on all the report card descriptors in the second trimester. Descriptors not reported on will be gray or left blank. This is not a mistake. Students have either not yet had formal instruction on all the skills they will learn this year (math) or information on that indicator is incorporated into another indicator (reading). As always, our teachers are looking forward to celebrating your child’s progress at the upcoming conference.
The CB Art T-shirt Fundraiser is happening now through April 17th. You can get this year’s comic-inspired design in black, white or yellow.

Health Office Guidelines
The school nurse provides care to students who become ill or injured at school.
If a child has symptoms of illness present, the child should remain home in order that other children do not become infected.
As a rule of thumb, a child should be without a fever for 24 hours, without medication, before returning to school. Sick children should never be sent to school with the expectation that the school nurse can be called upon to diagnose a medical problem. If your child becomes sick at home or is injured at home or at a sporting event outside of school hours, please do not ask the child to come to the school nurse for treatment.
Please be mindful that if the student is ill and comes to school, the student could infect other students in the school. Also, your child could contract another illness because of a stressed immune system in addition to communicable diseases, Central Bucks reserves the right to exclude students for the following reasons:
Central Bucks also reserves the right to exclude children from school based on the following criteria:
- -Illness that prevents a student from participating in activities
- -Fever (100.4 or higher). Students may not return to school until free of fever without medication for 24 hours.
- -Diarrhea or vomiting during the previous 24 hours. Student may not return to school until appetite returns to normal.
- -Rash with a fever
- -Other conditions deemed appropriate after assessment by the school nurse
If a child has symptoms of illness present, the child should remain home in order that other children do not become infected.
Thank you!

Central Bucks Farmers Market
LAST DRIVE UP MARKET
Our last open drive-up market will be Thursday, March 23rd. Beginning in April, our markets will require pre-registration and will be open to families with students in Central Bucks School District ONLY. Guests will no longer line up in their cars, rather, they will be required to park and walk down to the distribution area. We will be expanding our market hours to accommodate this change. We will be providing details on the registration process at our March markets and through market communications.
Actualización importante del mercado:
Nuestro último mercado de autoservicio abierto será el jueves 23 de marzo. A partir de abril, nuestros mercados requerirán preinscripción y estarán abiertos para familias con estudiantes en el Distrito Escolar de Central Bucks SOLAMENTE. Los invitados ya no formarán fila en los autos, sino que se les pedirá que se estacionen y caminen hasta el área de distribución. Ampliaremos nuestro horario de mercado para adaptarnos a este cambio. Proporcionaremos detalles sobre el proceso de registro en nuestros mercados de marzo y a través de comunicaciones de mercado.
Важливе оновлення ринку:
Наш останній відкритий ринок буде у четвер, 23 березня. Починаючи з квітня, наші ринки вимагатимуть попередньої реєстрації та будуть відкриті ЛИШЕ для сімей зі студентами у шкільному окрузі Central Bucks. Гості більше не будуть шикуватися в черги в автомобілях, натомість вони повинні будуть припаркуватися та спуститися до зони розподілу. Відповідно до цієї зміни ми розширимо графік роботи нашого ринку. Ми надамо детальну інформацію про процес реєстрації на березневих ринках і через ринкові комунікації.
