Linden Elementary School

📚📖We love how hands-on and present our superintendent, Dr. Farnsworth, is! Today, he spent time with our kindergarten students, reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It’s always a joy to see our leaders engaging with our young learners!

Our lost and found is getting pretty full. Make sure to stop by Thursday from 5-6:30 for literacy night and see if any of your kiddos belongings are in there.

🎉 And just like that, we’re almost at the 100th day of school! 🎉 Mark your calendars—February 20th is the big day! We’ve got tons of fun activities planned to celebrate. 🥳 💫 Plus, every student who’s present that day will receive a special prize! 💫 And don't forget, after school the February 20th, we’ll be holding P.T.O.-sponsored Talent Show tryouts. 🎤✨ If your student wants to participate, they need to be at school that day to audition. Let’s make the 100th day of school one to remember! 🏫💙 #100thDay #SchoolFun #TalentShowTryouts #AlmostThere

Good Afternoon, Linden Families, Due to the forecast of single-digit temperatures this week, we kindly ask that you drop your child(ren) off at the front of the school entrance for the remainder of the week. This adjustment will ensure they do not have to walk in the cold and will also support our staff. The usual drop-off area will be closed, so please plan to drop off all students at the front entrance.
