Elementary School Hula Hoop Contest - May 5
Lindbergh High School Student Council invites all elementary school students to attend the “Play for Q” event on Friday, May 5 and participate in a special hula hoop contest to raise money for a student scholarship through the Lindbergh Schools Foundation.
Quintyn Lewis, better known as “Q” to his friends, was a LHS student who passed away earlier this school year. All proceeds from this event will go toward the Foundation’s “Live Like Q” scholarship fund.
Admission is $2, and all are welcome to attend! The hula hoop contest begins at 7 p.m., followed by a LHS student vs. staff volleyball game at 7:15 p.m.
College KickStart Update from Lindbergh Lights the Way
Thank you to all of our families who signed up to help to provide needed items for 21 Lindbergh High School graduates. All items should be turned in by May 1, at Lindbergh Schools Central Office or the Nieman home. Thank you!

New Student Information System Launching Soon
We are excited to announce the launch of a new student information system, Infinite Campus, which will replace Tyler SIS beginning in the 2023-24 school year. With Infinite Campus, you will be able to check your student’s grades, attendance records, and other important information from your phone, tablet, or computer. You will also be able to communicate with your student’s teachers and stay up-to-date on assignments and events.
While parents will continue to have access to the SIS Portal for the remainder of this school year, Annual Online Verification for the 2023-24 school year will begin in May, using Infinite Campus. Please look for more information coming soon.
Lindbergh staff have been training regularly to ensure a smooth transition for district families. In fact, our new kindergarten families used Infinite Campus for new student registration this Spring, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are confident that Infinite Campus will be a great improvement for Lindbergh students and families throughout the school year, and we cannot wait to show you all the great features it has to offer!
Be on the lookout soon for login information and helpful tips!
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is April 22
Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day reflects a commitment to Americans’ safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded, unwanted and expired medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction.
Local drop-off locations include:
Crestwood Police Department
Sunset Hills Police Department
City of Green Park City Hall
Grantwood Village City Hall
St. Louis County Police South County precinct
St. Louis County Police Fenton precinct (in municipal building)
