The Eagle's Press
Week of Dec 8
Dear Lindblom Families,
We are only two weeks away from winter break! Our recent "State of the School Address" confirmed that Lindblom MSA is a place where every Eagle can grow and soar. You can access the recording and slide deck via the embedded links. I'd like to call out a few noteworthy highlights:
Commendable Designation: We proudly earned a Summative Designation of "Commendable" on the 2025 Illinois Report Card. This designation reflects our commitment to excellence, including having no underperforming student groups and a strong college enrollment rate (92%).
Significant PreACT Growth: Our current 11th graders demonstrated improvement, achieving a +2.0 growth in their Composite PreACT scores from Spring '25 to Fall '25, with the highest leap in Reading at +3.0. This is a testament to focused learning and effort!
Strong Commitment to All Families: We are dedicated to ensuring our entire community feels supported and engage.
I extend a sincere thanks to our school community and Garden City Church partners for their generous donations to our 'Food Drive Thru.' It is a blessing to give and meet the needs of families in our school and neighborhood.Thank you for your ongoing partnership.
Last but not least, we need your input to understand parents' availability, preferences, and potential barriers to participation in parent-teacher conferences on Report Card Pick Up Day. We will close the survey on Monday, December 15th, and share the results when we return from winter break. (Parent Survey: Fall Report Card Day)
Together we rise onward and upward.

Attendance Matters
REMINDERS:
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.
