Dear Families,
We are asking for you to send in headphones for your child. These headphones will be kept here at school for NWEA testing and computer lab use. I have found headphones to work better than earbuds for the younger children.
Please send a pair of headphones to school for your child. Place them in a Gallon Ziploc Bag with your student’s name on it.
Thank you in advance,
Mrs. Ruselink
We had a great 2nd day of school!
Assembly
The students attended a PBIS (Positive Behavior) assembly this morning where they met the school staff, learned about school rules, procedures and rewards, and had an introduction to the 7 Habits (a lot, I know!).
Lindbergh has given each student a “zipper pull” as a gift this school year – to remind students that they are a “Lindbergh Flyer.” I helped each student put their zipper pull on their backpack.
Control Tower /Behavior Charts
The students have been learning classroom and building rules and consequences. See if your student can explain to you our “control tower.” This is our classroom system to track behavior. If a student remains on green they are having a great day! If a student chooses to break a rule they move their clip to yellow, then orange and finally red. If a student lands on red they will be sent to the office to speak with Mrs. DeNeen (our principal).
Students will track their day with an individual behavior chart that you can find on the back of their red folder – daily.
See you tomorrow!
Mrs. Ruselink
It was hot and muggy and we got tired fast ……. but we made it!!
Hopefully the weather will break soon.
School Supplies
I know I did not have the chance to check backpacks for supplies – I will try to empty them tomorrow. My goal is to also have a change of clothes stored on the top shelf of their locker as well.
Snack
The children are welcome to bring their own snack starting tomorrow. Please do not send in snacks with any nuts until we have student allergies figured.
Water Bottles
If you would like to send a water bottle with your student during this time of hot weather please do so. We’ll keep them on the top shelf of our locker.
If you have any questions or concerns please email me. If I forget something please keep reminding me! Thank you for your patience and support during this busy back to school time!

Thank you for the beautiful gifts and for celebrating my birthday with me. I wish everybody a restful, peaceful and relaxing summer. I look forward to hearing from you once you begin your Kindergarten journey in your home school. I am so proud of the growth that each student has made this year. I hope this school year ( and the gift of time) has helped each student begin their academic journey!

Field Day (Tuesday)
Please be sure to have your student wear tennis shoes and bring a water bottle. The PTA is providing a cheese pizza lunch with watermelon. Please still pack a snack – we’ll probably need to eat it in the afternoon.
Wednesday, The Last Day of School
Dismissal is at 11:45 a.m. Please no backpacks this day (this is a district rule). And there is no need for snack (we will have a special ice cream treat).
Students are bringing home classroom supplies, journals, books, ring of words, etc.
I have also included sight word lists for continued learning at home this summer. Report cards and NWEA data will be sent home as soon as I receive them (they are printed at central office). Data and writing samples are being put in each student’s cumulative record and that record will be forwarded to your home school.
I have also included a school calendar for the 2015-2016 school year.
If you are a Lindbergh family class assignments and a PTA gathering will take place on Friday, September 4th.
First – thank you to all of the dad’s who were able to make it to Donuts for Dad. We enjoyed celebrating you!
Thank you to the families who donated supplies for the event. You help was much appreciated.
