A Message from our Kennerly Nurse
Please remember to pack an extra change of clothes, including socks, in your student’s backpack. We have been having a lot of accidents that require a change of clothes at school. This includes students falling in the mud outside during recess.
Please also note that if your student has a fever, they need to be home for 24 hours fever free without receiving fever reducing medication before returning to school.

We would love for you to sponsor a round of trivia, volunteer your time, and/or have any donations you would like to contribute! Thanks for your help making this a fun event!

Sora Reading App Gives Students Access to Library Content Online
Our district is committed to bringing unique learning opportunities to our students, and we are pleased to introduce a new student reading app called Sora that provides students with access to read digital books. The collection of titles in Sora is an extension of Lindbergh’s physical libraries, in an app format that provides 24/7 access to ebooks and audiobooks. In addition, our partnership includes access to the St. Louis County Library’s Juvenile collection as well. Sora can help students of all ages read more and improve comprehension. Students of all abilities and interest levels can benefit from this service.
Learn more about SORA by reading the attached PDF.
