Principal News
Dear Lindsey Families,
The first two weeks of school went by quickly! Students are learning routines, expectations, and are developing relationships with their teachers and peers.
We are in the midst of MAP Testing. Grades 4 and 5 have finished, and 3rd grade will conclude testing next week. Once all make ups are completed, MAP reports will be printed and sent home.
The highlight to the start of the year was our Open House! We all enjoyed the interactive event and have already began talking about ways to improve it for next year. Teachers recorded Open House videos highlighting curriculum, routines, and expectations. Click on the link below to view the presentations. This can also be found on Lindsey's website under Resources > Presentations.
Have a wonderful four-day weekend!
Sincerely,
Melissa Becerra, Principal

This includes anti-bullying/harassment lessons and will be embedded in social studies classes throughout the school year. For the curriculum scope and sequence, see this document. If you have any questions about the Second Step program, please reach out to your building principal for more information. Thank you for supporting your child in learning the skills that lead to success in school and in life.

PTO is gearing up for a fun-filled year - but we need YOUR help! At minimum, we need a response with your child's T-shirt size as soon as possible, BUT we hope you'll consider joining in the fun by volunteering at various events throughout the year. Sign-ups for Room Coordinators and class party helpers for the entire school year will be sent via email on Thursday September 7th @ 6:00 pm sharp. Only those individuals who have completed the above Google form will receive the email. Any questions, feel free to email Lindsey PTO (LindseyPTO@gmail.com).
Monday Munchies
Monday Munchies is a great way to show our appreciation for our R.C. Lindsey Elementary teachers and staff. We're asking YOU to provide 3-4 dozen treats. Decadent or nutritious, homemade or purchased with love, the choice is yours. Thank you for making Mondays a little more enjoyable!
Popcorn Thursdays are making a comeback at Lindsey and you butter believe we're popping with excitement! Popcorn Thursdays will occur on a monthly basis. Students will have an opportunity to purchase a bag of popcorn after they have completed their lunch. Popcorn is $.50/bag (cash/coins), or you can purchase a pass for a one-time cost of $3 that covers the entire year.
