As we start the second semester of school. We are very excited to host our second round of family connections. (See Family Connections Sign Up Links Below)
Big shout out to the teachers/staff members for filling in for others as things have come up in our community that needed additional support.
We could not do the wonderful things we do at our school without all of you and your never-ending support. We are a village and family for all of our 423 learners!

Susan Lindgren School Community requests no Valentine's
Store Bought or Handmade Valentine's.
On Valentine's Day our school community does not exchange cards or have classroom celebrations . Please do not purchase or make cards for your child to pass out at school to their classmates. We know that each family may have their own traditions connected to this day at home, but at school we do not. As always, we value friendships and caring for each other every day. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
