LSA Summer Newsletter - August 29, 2021
Dear Linden Families,
Hello Linden Familes,
Welcome back! We are excited to start the new school year on Wednesday, September 1st for grades 1-8. Kindergarten students will start on Wednesday, September 8th. We are sending you this newsletter with a few updates. Please check below for new information.
I am sure that you have many questions on what health and safety guidelines will be in place for the upcoming school year. The district administrators are in regular communication with our local public health officials and our nursing department to assess our current status and develop plans to ensure a strong year ahead based on current guidance and we will adjust as necessary. The health and safety of our students and community will guide all decisions that we make.
Please make sure to check the Principal's Corner on our website for announcements and resources. I would like to remind you to join the LSA ClassDojo to receive our school notifications. Ms. Scott recently sent an email to families with the link to join https://www.classdojo.com/invite/?c=CLE93VJ.
Please reach out to Ms. Jones (jjones@maldenps.org), Ms. Scott (sscott@maldenps.org), or Mr. Garcia (rgarcia@maldenps.org) if you have any questions or concerns. We would be happy to help you.
Thank you,
Mr. Garcia
