Dear Families,

Caregiver
Breakfast - Please Join us!  On Friday, May 6th, we will host a breakfast
for caregivers in our multipurpose room at 8:15am.  This is a chance for all Caregivers to come
together, in person to get to know each other and some of our amazing staff   The
last two years of this pandemic have not allowed us to interact in person as
much as we would have wanted, and we hope this event will mark a new beginning
for our community.  When you drop off
your child next Friday, please come through our main office doors and join us
for a cup of coffee and a warm breakfast in the cafeteria.

Dismissal Reminder:  There is NO after school classes on Mondays.  Our new dismissal time is 3:37, so we ask that
parents are at Lyndale by then to pick up their child.  Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that
you do not park in anyone's driveway or block driveways when picking up your
child.  Also, PreK through 2nd grade
students will continue to be picked up on the playground and our 3rd-5th
graders will be outside of our main office door.

Dogs on School Grounds:
 We ask that you do not bring your dog
with you to pick up your child or drop them off at school.

Friday Play Dates:  Our PTO invites parents and their children to
stay after school and play on the playground while parents take a minute to
connect!  Every Friday through the end of
the year, PTO would love to have you all join on the playground!

Summer Programming:  School Programming will now begin on July 5th and end on July
28th.  To check out summer programs, click this link.

Rapid Tests:  We have rapid tests available for
students if they are exhibiting symptoms or have been considered a close
contact. If you would like a rapid test, please contact the school at
612-668-4000.
