📢 First Staff Spotlight of the Year! 🎉
We’re kicking off a brand-new school year by celebrating Mary Reese, our amazing K–2 Interventionist! 🌟
Mary has been recognized for stepping in to help with all the LETRS testing, lending a hand to clean the staff lounge, and for jumping in wherever she’s needed. She is known for truly supporting not just our students, but also our staff—always with dedication and a can-do attitude.
Mary will receive the coveted apple 🍏 and can stop by Mrs. Holyoak’s office to choose a special prize!
Thank you, Mary, for starting the year off strong and setting such a positive example for us all! 👏💛
Our Kindergarten crew is diving into COLOR words this week, and we’d love your help making it extra fun! 🌈

🌟 Thank You, Linden Families! 🌟
We are so grateful for an amazing first full week of school! 💛 Our students are settling in wonderfully, and it’s all thanks to your support.
🚗 Morning Drop-off Reminder
Starting Monday, parents will no longer be walking students to class in the mornings. Please drop them off at the north dirt pick-up loop. This helps keep mornings smooth and safe for everyone.
🙋♀️ Want to Volunteer?
We love having parents in our classrooms! If you’d like to volunteer, please reach out to your student’s teacher for opportunities. You’ll also need to make an appointment with me to complete the volunteer forms.
Thank you for helping us make this school year the best one yet! 📚✨
Warmly,
Alex Deitering
Principal

Good afternoon, Linden families!
We wanted to give you a quick update about the ID tags students have been bringing home attached to their backpacks. These tags are currently being used primarily as transportation cards, but we are working toward expanding their use for library book checkouts and school lunch purchases in the near future.
If your child does not ride the bus, please do not throw the tag away—they will still need it soon!
Most students who haven't received a tag yet should get one by the end of today. If your student still hasn't received one, please email Mrs. Holyoak at desirae.holyoak@showlow.education so she can add them to the list of missing IDs.
🚌 If your student rides the bus and you haven't already, be sure to download the My Ride K-12 app for real-time bus info. If you need your child’s student ID number to add them to the app, you can also email Mrs. Holyoak at desirae.holyoak@showlow.education.
As always, reach out with any questions—we’re happy to help!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our families and the hard work of our amazing PTO, we were able to meet our fundraising goal to ensure every student gets a new t-shirt!
