Lindbergh High School
September 18 Updates
OPEN HOUSE, Monday, September 21, 6:45pm, Starting in the LHS Auditorium.
Come meet the principal, Tres Genger, the Assistant Principals, Anna Horton and Charles James, and the fantastic Lindbergh teachers and staff. Learn more about PTSA, Boosters, and Grad Night Committees. Classroom visits will commence immediately after the auditorium, where you will have an opportunity to follow your student's schedule and visit with each teacher for a ten-minute overview of the curriculum. For your convenience, there will be displays and information assembled in the hallway outside the auditorium.
Parent involvement is crucial to the success of Lindbergh. Please take every opportunity to be involved by attending activities, performances, and sports events, as well as through organizations like PTSA and Boosters. This is the last chance you can be involved in their school (there will be no need for volunteers in college or their future jobs!). Remember to visit the Boosters Club, PTSA, and Grad Night Committees informational tables. Join us and be part of a great school!
PTSA News.
We are in immediate need for a Treasurer!!! If you have any accounting experience, and/or past PTA treasurer experience, please contact Linda Kawamura at tkawamu@msn.com.
The PTSA budget is not as intense as an elementary school PTA, or even a middle school PTSA budget. There is little to no fundraising done, but as a non-profit organization, we still need to keep our records up-to-date. Please consider helping us out!!!! Thank you!
Boosters News.
The next Boosters meeting will be Monday, October 12, 2009, 7:00pm, in the LHS Library. Meeting dates have been changed back to the SECOND MONDAY OF EACH MONTH.
We are still in need of a new president (or co-presidents). Please e-mail Carrie at sidekik@msn.com, if you can help!
Volunteers Needed! Concessions Home Games at Lindbergh!
The next home volleyball games are listed below. If you can help for even just one hour, we would appreciate it!

WEB LINKS TO ATHLETIC INFORMATION
Below is information on how to access the athletic schedules and forms that are on our district athletic web pages.
Here is the link to the forms page where we now have high school sports clearance forms (including the new head injury/concussion form we are asking middle schools to use as well) as well as all of our sport specific warning letters:

AthleticForms
Here is the link to the sport schedules page where we post both the high school and middle school sport schedules (middle schools are on the lower half of the page):
http://www.rentonschools.us/Departments/Activities_and_Athletics/
SportsSchedules
Rather than having each school upload the forms to their own pages, schools will now link to our pages. That way, as we update the schedules or forms, the school page will be current as well.
To find these pages without the above links, you do the following:
1) Go to the Renton School District home page at www.rentonschools.us
2) In the menus near the top, just under the photo bar, click on “District Departments”
3) Scroll down to Extracurricular and click on “Activities and Athletics”
4) Once on the Activities and Athletics main page, choose the appropriate menu from the left side—Sport Schedules or Athletic Forms
We hope that this information helps. Please share it with your community.
