Parent's Night Out

Beginning Monday, March 3rd, smartwatches and other communication devices will no longer be permitted in the classroom.


To bring these devices to school, guardians must sign a permission slip, similar to the existing cell phone procedure. Each morning, watches and other devices will be collected and securely stored in Principal Pollock’s office. They will be returned to students at the end of the school day. For any necessary communication between students and family members during school hours, please contact the school office.

Susan Lindgren School Community requests no Valentine's

Store Bought or Handmade Valentine's.


On Valentine's Day this year there will be no school for students and we will be having Family Connections. As in past years, 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.

Ensuring Family Safety: Develop a Preparedness Plan 🦋


Update your emergency contact information

As part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, please update your child’s emergency contact information. Having accurate and current contact details allows us to reach you or a trusted adult quickly in case of an emergency.


Why This Matters:

Up-to-date emergency contacts help us support students effectively, especially in urgent situations. We understand that families’ circumstances can change, and we want to ensure we have the correct information at all times.


What You Can Do:

  • Review your child’s emergency contact information 
  • Complete this form to update any phone numbers, addresses, or emergency contacts that may have changed
  • Add at least one trusted adult who can be reached if you are unavailable


Please know that all information you provide is kept confidential and used solely for emergency purposes, and you are welcome to reach out if you have any questions!
