Jenny Lind Community School is in the Lind-Bohanon-Camden neighborhood. We offer a variety of programs including: AM Pre-K, four all-day Kindergarten classrooms, English as a Second Language (ESL), Hmong Native Language Literacy, Gifted and Talented/Catalyst, Special Education, Media/Technology, and Area Learning Center (ALC)/Community Education After-School Programs. Jenny Lind’s official school name is Olson/Lind Lower Campus. Due to the merger with Floyd B. Olson Middle School, Jenny LindSchool and Olson Middle School became a dual campus. Jenny Lind Lower Campus also serves as a Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) program site for approximately 25 students. These children receive specialized services with instruction in the least restrictive setting shown to accelerate growth.
Jenny Lind Lower Campus has three state-of-the art computer labs. Students have the opportunity to use Success Maker math, Accelerated Reading and Accelerated Math programs, and Yearly Progress Pro which monitors students weekly and indicates to teachers what areas need re-teaching. Students take specialist classes in music, art, technology and physical education. We also have an innovative piano keyboarding lab. in 2009 our first grade students also have weekly strings instruction, with instruments provided by a VH1 Save the Music Grant, and a long-term goal of increasing the strings program by a grade level each year.
We at Jenny Lind, in partnership with home and community, strive for excellence as we inspire all students to reach their full potential as lifelong learners.
