Summer Reading is Essential
Please have your children
continue to read during the
summer. We recommend 15-30
minutes a day. The summer
reading programs at the public
libraries are a great way to
encourage daily reading.
Summer School Update
The Lindbergh Summer School
program runs from June 23
through August 1 for eligible
students in grades K-5. There
will also be a 4K Summer
School for incoming
kindergarteners who qualify. If
your child is eligible, you will be
receiving information in the mail
during the week of April 25.
Registration is online again
this year and information must
be returned by May 13, 2014.
Classroom and transportation
information will be sent to
parents of registered students by
June 2.
Reading and writing classes are
offered in the morning by
Lindbergh staff and recreational
activities are provided during the
afternoon. Breakfast and lunch
will be available. A morning
and an afternoon bus will be
available for Lindbergh students
who live in the Mendota
attendance area. Parents may
pick up their child at noon if they
don’t want them to participate in
the afternoon program.
The success of the Lindbergh
Summer School pilot will be
determined based on student
achievement, behavior and
attendance. It is essential that
students are here every day if the
children are going to show
academic progress.
Please do not hesitate to call
Ms. Wigdal or me if you
have questions.

UPDATE
1. Class Sections
We will be having straight

(without 4K students). At

sections and teachers are as
follows:
Grade 2
3 Sections

Grade 5
2 sections

2. Class Assignments
Class placements will be
given to parents in the gym
on Thursday, August 21 from
11:00-6:00 as part of
Registration Day. There is
always a possibility that
classes will need to be added
or deleted in September. At
this time, class sizes are high
in grades K, 1 and 3. If
classroom changes are
required, some students
may need to be moved after
the start of the school year.
There may also need to be
students reassigned to other
rooms early in the school
year in an effort to balance
classes.
If you know that your child
will not be attending school
here next year, please call the
Lindbergh office and leave a
message. Your cooperation is
greatly appreciated so that the
school year can be started with
class rosters that are as
accurate as possible.
If you know of new families in
your neighborhood who are
planning on enrolling their
children at Lindbergh in the
fall, please encourage them to
contact the Lindbergh office as
soon as possible. New student
enrollment is also scheduled
for August 20 from 8:00-12:00
am.
Parents should have received a
Student Placement
Information Form in third
quarter progress reports. We
are asking parents to complete
an individual form for each
child. It is very important that
we receive this form back
because the teachers will begin
to work on student placements
in May. While parents cannot
request a specific teacher for
next year, we do want your
thoughts on your child’s
social, emotional and
academic needs. The
information that you share
with the staff will be given
serious
consideration as the teachers
create classroom assignments
for next year.
3. Incoming Kindergarten
Students
If you have an incoming
kindergarten child and live in
the Mendota attendance area,
you should plan on having
your kindergarten child attend
Mendota unless the district
approves an internal transfer to
Lindbergh.
4. School Supply Lists
School Supply lists will be sent
home in the last report card.
Many of the local stores will
have a copy on display and
there will be a copy posted on
Lindbergh’s front door and on
the Lindbergh website if your
copy gets misplaced over the
summer.
PTA
On behalf of Lindbergh
students and staff, I would like
to thank Jennifer Hendricks,
Chris Najdowski and MaryAnn
Willgrubs for the leadership
that they have provided to the
PTA this year. Once again, it
has truly been a pleasure
working with them.
We are desperately in need of
more parents to participate in
our PTA next year. Please consider joining this group in the
fall.
Staff Recognition
I must thank Jodi Murphy again
for her work as the editor of the
Flyer. It is a significant project
each month and I appreciate the
time that it takes her to put our
school newsletter together and
get it sent home.
Thank You
It is difficult to believe that the
end of the school year is so
close! It seems that the school
years go by faster and faster
each year. Since this is the last
edition Lindbergh Flyer for this
school year, the staff and I
thank you for allowing us the
pleasure of teaching your child.
Have a wonderful summer!

Lindbergh Elementary School Endowment Fund Makes Grants Possible
The Foundation for Madison’s Public Schools’ School Endowments provide each school with annual income that is used to fund creative and innovative programs and projects that are not funded within the core school budget. Forty-six schools were awarded grants totaling $69,243.
This year Lindbergh Elementary School had $813 in endowment income available to use to make grants for imaginative programs and projects that
propel student learning which can’t currently be funded through the core school budget.
Our grants committee decided to fund the following projects using the available endowment income:
$250 Funds will be used for the kindergarten field trip to the Children's Museum that will give students the chance to tour a log cabin and view historic artifacts.
$300 Funds will be used for the 2nd grade field trip to Aldo Leopold Nature Center, which will enhance an insect unit. The children will take a marsh
walk and observe insects as well as attend a play.
$263 Funds will be used for the purchase of multiple copies of Teach Like a Champion that will increase staff ability to address student academic
and behavioral issues.
If you have any questions about the School Endowments, please contact Mary Bartzen at 232-7820 or mbartzen@fmps.org. To donate to our
El fondo de beneficiencia de la escuela primaria Lindbergh hace posible estas becas.
La Fundación para las becas de las escuelas públicas de Madison le provee a cada escuela un ingreso anual, el cual es utilizado para financiar
programas creativos e innovadores que no son financiados dentro del presupuesto principal. Se le brindó subsidio a cuarenta y seis escuelas,
haciendo un total de $69,243.
Este año, la escuela primaria Lindbergh recibió $813 por ingresos de donaciones, los cuales están disponibles para ser utilizados para crear becas
para programas imaginativos y proyectos que impulsen el aprendizaje de los estudiantes, los cuales no pueden ser financiados por el momento por
el presupuesto principal de la escuela.
Nuestro comité de donaciones decidió financiar los siguientes proyectos utilizando el ingreso de la donación:
$250 de los fondos van a ser utilizados para la excursión de kindergarten al Museo de Niños, lo cual les dará la oportunidad a los niños de recorrer
una cabaña de madera y observar artefactos históricos.
$300 de los fondos van a ser utilizados para la excursión de segundo grado al Centro de Naturaleza Aldo Leopold, lo cual aumentará los conocimientos de la unidad de insectos. Los niños van a caminar por el pantano y observar insectos, así como ver una obra.
$263 de los fondos van a ser utilizados para la compra de varias copias de “Teach Like a Champion” (Enseña como un campeón), la cual va a aumentar la habilidad del personal para tratar los problemas académicos y de comportamiento de los estudiantes.
Si tiene(n) alguna pregunta acerca de las donaciones de la escuela, por favor contacte(n) a Mary Bartzen al 232-7820 o al mbartzen@fmps.org.

Lindbergh Elementary School is a Title I school in MMSD. Title I is the largest single program of federal aid for elementary and
secondary education. Using a poverty-based formula, Title I allocates funds to school districts on a per pupil basis to offset the
effects of poverty on the educational opportunities of students in high-poverty schools. These funds are used to enhance or supplement above and beyond the regular school program paid for by state and local dollars. The Title I funding that we receive
supports our School Improvement goals related to high quality curriculum and teaching in an effective learning environment. Our
goals for learning are focused on literacy, mathematics and student engagement. Title I funding also supports our Parent Involvement Plan and the activities that engage and empower families throughout the year.
La Escuela Primaria Lindbergh es una escuela del Distrito Escolar Metropolitano de Madison que recibe fondos de Título I. Título I es el programa más grande de ayuda federal para la educación primaria y secundaria. Utilizando una fórmula basada en la pobreza y basándose en el
número de alumnos, Titulo I asigna fondos a los distritos escolares con el fin de compensar los efectos de la pobreza en las oportunidades educativas de los estudiantes en las escuelas que tienen un alto porcentaje de pobreza. Estos fondos se utilizan para mejorar o complementar el
programa escolar regular más allá de lo que es financiado por los dólares estatales y locales. Los fondos Título I que recibimos apoyan las metas
de mejoras escolares relacionadas con un plan de estudios de alta calidad y una enseñanza en un medio ambiente efectivo para el aprendizaje.
Nuestros objetivos de aprendizaje se enfocan en la lectoescritura, las matemáticas y la participación activa de los estudiantes. Los fondos provenientes de Título I también apoyan nuestro Plan de Participación de los Padres y las actividades que fomentan la participación y la capacitación
de las familias durante todo el año.
