New families and students are invited to our Welcome Breakfast on Tuesday, September 4, 2018, 9:00am–11:00am, before school starts the following day. You will be able to meet with some of Linden's staff, board members, and parent volunteers, and your daughter will be able to visit her homeroom and access her assigned locker (please remember to bring a lock for the locker). Quite a few teachers will also be present and look forward to meeting your daughter! Please RSVP for this event so that we can plan the amount of food needed.
