About 1,000 Lindbergh students in grades K-8 received warm Flyer welcomes on May 16 when they visited their new schools for tours, activities and a chance to meet their new classmates. The events were part of a districtwide “Fly Over Day,” to give students and teachers a chance to learn more about their new buildings following redistricting that occurred earlier this spring.
The Lindbergh Schools Board of Education voted 7-0 on March 14 to approve new elementary school and middle school boundaries for the 2017-18 school year, in preparation for the opening of Dressel Elementary School next fall. A committee of parents, community members and administrators developed the new boundaries.
As a result, school attendance zones changed for more than 700 elementary school students and about 350 middle school students. Of those, about 225 students have requested to attend a school other than the one for which they are zoned. Those requests were granted based on space available, and families must provide transportation.
Next year’s Dressel Elementary School students traveled from Sappington and Kennerly to the gym at Lindbergh High School and gathered for a morning of fun get-to-know you activities with Principal Dr. Craig Hamby (Dressel will open for full occupancy this summer). Meanwhile, Sappington welcomed several students from Long, Long said hello to a handful of Crestwood friends, and Kennerly added students from the elementary PEGS program. Sperreng and Truman middle schools also held welcome events, not only for students transferring, but also for incoming sixth-graders.
The new boundaries keep fifth grade classes together when students move to middle school. Next year, Crestwood, Long and Sappington will feed into Truman Middle; and Concord, Kennerly and Dressel will feed into Sperreng Middle.
