Greetings Lincoln Families!

Hope you are all doing well! Just a few announcements I’d like to share

Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards! So far we’ve given away two $100 gift certificates to stores, and eight $10 gift certificates to Frosty Boy and Spotted Cow. Our goal with rewards is to provide incentives to students to encourage weekly school engagement for all Lincoln Students. To be entered in the drawing each week, we just need one of the following to happen:

Students attend the weekly Zoom meeting.
Or, if not….
The teacher was able to communicate (facetime, email, phone call, text…) with the parent or student if the student was not able to make the Zoom meeting. This is in consideration of families who do not have the ability to connect on Zoom.

Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month? During the pandemic Adrian Schools continues to provide mental health supports for students and families. If your child or a member of your family needs assistance, please reach out to:

2020 Springbrook Recruiting

Hello 5th grade families:

We know the transition to 6th grade and middle school is an exciting time! This process has been delayed due to the early closure of school buildings, however in the weeks to come you will be receiving information from the Springbrook Administration and staff to begin this process for your soon to be 6th grade student.

One of the most exciting parts of 6th grade is that it is the FIRST time students can take a daily class dedicated to learning an instrument or singing in an ensemble. Please watch the introductory video presented by the Springbrook Music Staff and visit the music website for more information.

To find out even more and enroll in a music class, please visit the Introduction to Music Webpage: https://bit.ly/2KDjubD

[05/05/20]   Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards!

Greetings Lincoln Families!

Did you know the largest whale in the world is the blue whale? In honor of the largest whale in the world, (and our school color) we’ve come up with the biggest and best PBIS and PRIDE incentives: Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards! Back when we were in school, classes competed for 2 rotating Whale Done Trophies. Now that we are home, we are awarding individual students the Whale Done Kid! award for excellence in school. We now want to encourage the engagement of ALL Lincoln students with the Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards!

Goal: To encourage weekly school engagement for all Lincoln Students.

Process: Weekly we will randomly select 5 names from our entire school roster from a website tool called “Random Student Selector.” When a child’s name is drawn, Mr. Skeels will connect with the teacher to ensure one or both of the criteria below were met for the previous week to receive a prize.

The student attended the weekly Zoom meeting.
The teacher was able to communicate (facetime, email, phone call, text…) with the parent or student if the student was not able to make the Zoom meeting. This is in consideration of families who do not have the ability to connect on Zoom.

The PBIS team will announce the weekly winners on Facebook, email, etc. Each week for the remainder of the school year we will give away 1 Super Maple Blue Whale Done Reward and 4 Calf Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards. The first kid drawn each week gets to choose a Super Maple Blue Whale Done Reward. The next 4 kids get to choose a Calf Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards. Someone from the PBIS team will contact the winners to choose and receive the reward.

Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards:
*Bike
*$100 gift card - Winner gets to choose the store, can be “on-line” or “in-store.”

Calf Super Maple Blue Whale Done Rewards
*$10 Gift Cards from either Spotted Cow or Frosty Boy
