Spring Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screening Results are now available in SIS. The purpose of this SEL screener is to measure the big picture of the student experience at Lindbergh Schools and identify individual students who may need additional support in the areas of academic, emotional, and social skills.

It is important to note that these surveys provide only a glimpse or snapshot of a student's response on the day when the survey was administered. No data point should ever be used as a sole indicator when determining the needs of students.

To access your student’s Panorama results on the SIS Portal:

1. Log on to the SIS Portal with your username and password.

1. Note: Your username is your email address on file. If you have forgotten your password, please select “Forgot your parent password?” on the Parent tab.

2. Under Current Academics (left side menu) - select Assessments. Assessments can only be viewed in a web browser (mobile or desktop) and not the SIS app.

3. Select the title of the Assessment you want to view.

Attached, please find the Guide to Interpreting Panorama Results.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Lindbergh school counselors share how our career development curriculum for students spans all the way from high school to kindergarten! Learn more about the lessons and career exploration activities that help students of all ages chart a course to future success.

The Lindbergh Schools Board of Education has approved new school day hours for the 2023-24 school year that support more instructional time in the morning for elementary students, reduce traffic and improve safety on the high school campus by eliminating middle school shuttles, and add five minutes of morning time for secondary students who ride the bus. These changes were recommended by the School Start Times Task Force in response to feedback from parents, staff and students.

2023-24 School Start Times

• Elementary school: 8:45 a.m. - 3:35 p.m.

• Middle school: 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.

• High school: 7:45 a.m. - 2:45 p.m.

Over the last few years, the district has researched and implemented new school start and end times to better meet the developmental and learning needs of students. A summary of the task force’s work and recommendation was discussed at the January Board of Education Workshop.

While Lindbergh Early Childhood Education’s hours of operation will not change, they are reviewing options surrounding instructional time to reduce congestion on the high school campus. More information will be available at a later date.
