Good Afternoon, Linden Families, Due to the forecast of single-digit temperatures this week, we kindly ask that you drop your child(ren) off at the front of the school entrance for the remainder of the week. This adjustment will ensure they do not have to walk in the cold and will also support our staff. The usual drop-off area will be closed, so please plan to drop off all students at the front entrance. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility during this change! 💚💛 Linden Elementary School
