The Eagle's Press

Lindblom Math & Science Academy is an inclusive, challenging, and supportive community that empowers students to become compassionate leaders who understand, engage, and impact the world.

Lindblom Math & Science Academy will empower every student to excel academically, grow personally, and thrive as engaged citizens in an ever-changing world.

Greetings Eagles!

Alexia Banks (Sw27p) shared her experience at Lindblom as a panelist during our AC open house sessions. Max Villagran (Sw28p) shared his experience as a panelist during our HS open house sessions. The responses from both students attest to the growth mindset we are cultivating within our school community. In addition to current student testimonials, two parents (Mr. Smith & Mr. Liddle) and two alumni (State Rep. Sonya Harper & Michelle Rashad) shared how LMSA prepared them for post-secondary success and their professional aspirations.

Sincerely,

Principal Banks

Students can be dropped off or picked up on Wolcott and Winchester. Double Parking is prohibited! Please be considerate of the handicap ramps on Winchester and DO NOT park in front of the ramp. There is Safe Passage surrounding the perimeter of Lindblom and we'd like to enforce a "Kiss and Go" to avoid traffic back-ups; therefore, consider use of alternate blocks (like Damen, 61st Street, etc) for ease of traffic.

Students may enter the building through Door 3 (on Wolcott) or Door 9 (on Winchester). Please be mindful that these are the only doors that students should exit during/after dismissal.

We're hosting several focus groups this school year with our first one centered around Competency Based Education (also known as PBL). Details may be found here.

"Attendance Matters".....this is a slogan that will be uttered often to our Eagles as we prepare them for post-secondary life. Our week five attendance ended with 93.2%. Please keep in mind that late arrivals and early departures impact student's attendance record (one (1) missed block = 0.5 day attendance).
