Robert Lindblom Math & Science Academy

 Good Afternoon Lindblom Students, and Families, Last Thursday was our first parent conference of the 2018-2019 school year. It was great to meet with so many parents as we had over 60% of our parents attend. Many parents shared their excitement regarding their child’s successes and also having tangible takes away from the speaking with teachers about action steps that can be taken to ensure success for the remainder of the semester. The next conference is April 11th, however, if you ever have a question please reach out to your child’s teacher. We will be sending this week’s update both via & Naviance.
