Meet the Teacher Night for 1st-5th grade will be on August 17th from 5:30-7:20!

Meet the Teacher Night provides an opportunity for families and students to visit their new classroom, drop off school supplies, and of course meet your teacher! Families will sign up for a 20-minute time slot between 5:30 and 7:20. The sign-up link will be sent on August 1st when teacher placements are shared. Our hope is by having families sign-up for a time, we will keep our parking lot from being overcrowded and this will allow teachers to be able to spend more time with families individually. We hope to see you there!

At Kindergarten orientation, families will sign up to either be in Group 1 or Group 2. Depending on your group, you will either head straight to the classroom or head on a tour with our Dressel Ambassadors.

School Bus Signup is Required

To guarantee bus transportation for your student, families must complete the annual verification process before the start of the 2023-24 school year. Transportation signup is a part of annual verification. (See information above)

Student bus stop assignments, and pickup and drop-off times, will be available in the Infinite Campus Portal on Aug. 16. Families should check pickup and drop-off times frequently during the first few weeks of school, since routes are subject to change as student enrollment continues. Please allow 10 minutes before and after your scheduled pickup time to account for traffic and other delays.

Lindbergh Schools partners with First Student to provide transportation for eligible students living within district boundaries in a safe, economic and efficient manner. Student ridership and seating capacity is monitored closely to create the most efficient routes to serve our students.

Transportation To and From School

Eligible Students:

• Elementary school students who live more than one half mile from school.

• Middle and high school students who live more than one mile from school.

• Students who ride regularly, at least once a week.

Non Eligible Students:

• Students who attend a school located outside of their attendance zone.

• Students who are transported by Special School District (SSD).

• Students who only need transportation for special program shuttles during the school day.

Considerations are made when there are no safe walk-to-school zones and hazards, and all routes must be within a student’s school attendance zone. In addition, students will not be permitted to ride any bus except the one to which they are assigned.
