I want to wish all Susan Lindgren Families and Team members the most peaceful and happiest of winter breaks and/or holiday seasons with your family and friends! We are fortunate to be in a school community that appreciates and celebrates our many different languages, cultures, and religions. I am honored to be your child or children's Principal, and be a partner with you and the team in their learning.

Family Drop off and Pick Up Process
The snow and the cold make parent pick up and drop off a more interesting time of the day. You are one of over 200 cars that are trying to get their child to school on time or get somewhere right after school. Please pull all the way forward especially when directed by staff so that we can accommodate as many vehicles as possible. Please set your cell phone aside and pay attention to traffic. When you get to the 4 way stop at Quentin and 41st, have your child put on their mask, coat, etc so they are ready to hop out when you arrive at school. There is no parking across the street. Thank you!

Cold Weather ~ Outdoor Clothing Reminder
Please remember students go outside for recess every day! Make sure they have outdoor clothing. Label all clothing.
 
Students will always go outside unless the regular temperature is below 0 degrees or the windchill temperature is -10 degrees or below. We will watch the temperature to keep our students safe.
 
We are always in need of gently used or new winter gear, especially waterproof mittens/gloves.

If you are in need of winter gear, please contact our Social Worker Michelle Bryant at bryant.michelle@slpschools.org
