The Eagle's Press
Week of Dec 1
Dear Lindblom Families,
WELCOME BACK!!! We are in the last stretch of semester one and these next few weeks will pass by very quickly. I hope everyone had a blessed and rejuvenating Thanksgiving break. Temperatures are colder and inclement weather conditions will occur more frequently. I ask that you be understanding as our traffic control team adjusts in response to inclement weather conditions.
There are a few reminders that I must bring to your attention in the best interest of all parties involved.
Our school building opens at 7:00am. Please do not drop off students earlier than 7:00am with the expectation that someone will allow them into the building. We recommend students remain in your car until the building opens.
Teachers will communicate their respective final assessment schedules. All students are advised to leverage Colloquium Day flexes as opportunities to secure academic, post-secondary, and SEL support. We encourage parents to work with students to make informed decisions regarding the flexes they select.
Dismissal is at 3:05pm daily, with the exception of Colloquium Day (2:48pm). Please make the necessary arrangements to pick up your student(s) before 5:00pm if they are not involved in an athletic, enrichment, or SEL after-school program.
Last but not least, I will deliver our 2025 State of the School address on December 2, 2025 at 6p.m. If you are not able to join us in person, you can join virtually here.
Together we rise onward and upward.

Congratulations to Shaundria McLaurin! Shaundria was selected to attend a Winter Camp in Hangzhou, China, hosted by Zhejiang University. This is an incredible opportunity!
An organization based in Chicago & founded by a Lindblom alum has highlighted her on their website.

Attendance Matters
Students and parents will begin to receive notifications of the student's failure to serve detention and next steps. We are requesting your partnership to uphold our beliefs of the importance of students being present and on time to class and the positive impact that it has on student's academic success. We encourage you to log into your Aspen Parent Portal and view your child's daily attendance and/or reach out to our attendance coordinator, Mr. Hayes if you have questions, bdhayes2@cps.edu.
Students must ALWAYS have LMSA School ID on them, whether physical or electronic.
Students must manage their time during the passing period to ensure they make it to class on time.
Students who are tardy to class will need to visit the tardy scanners located on each floor to scan in and retrieve a tardy pass.
Students must arrive in class within three (3) minutes from the time indicated on the tardy pass.
Any student without a pass in the hallway after the initial hall sweep will be escorted to the nearest tardy station to receive a pass.
