With sick season upon us, we kindly ask that you do not send cough drops or other medications to school with students. We have had some issues with students sharing cough drops and eating them throughout the day, which causes distractions in the classroom.
Students are more than welcome to visit our health tech if they need a cough drop during the day. If your student requires a specific type of medication, it will need to be signed into the office.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
This week we’re celebrating our amazing cafeteria lady, Ms. Nessa Norcross! 💛
This is Ms. Nessa’s first year here, and she has already made a HUGE impact! She is a truly skilled cook, bringing delicious meals and warm smiles to our students every single day. The kids absolutely love her food, and we’ve heard nothing but positive reviews about her cooking! Her hard work, talent, and heart keep our cafeteria running smoothly and our students happy and fed.
To show our appreciation, Ms. Nessa will receive the coveted apple of recognition 🍏 and can stop by Mrs. Holyoak’s office to choose a well-deserved prize! 🎁
Thank you, Ms. Nessa, for making your first year at Linden such a wonderful one — we’re so lucky to have you! 👏💛

Good afternoon Linden Families,
We know times are tough right now, and we want to remind everyone to please fill out the Free and Reduced Lunch application. If you have already submitted an application but your circumstances have changed, please complete a new one.
If you are unsure whether you have filled out an application, or if you would like to know whether you have been approved, please email Mrs. Holyoak and she will be happy to look into it for you.
Our school is at risk of losing vital funding if we do not meet a certain percentage of completed applications. Even if your student does not eat school lunch, we kindly ask that you still apply to help support our school.
Thank you for your continued support!
