Hello Lincoln Families - As we prepare for the start of the school year, we send along a message each week, typically each Friday. In addition to email, these messages will be posted on our school website as well as on our social media. Thank you for choosing your best method to stay connected with us during the school year!
A few important dates and announcements to begin the year for your planning (https://tinyurl.com/5c962es6):

First Day Of Classes, Tuesday, August 25th - Our staff will be available to help our students find their classes on the first day of school beginning at 8:30 AM. We ask that families help begin to build student independence by taking pictures and getting their hugs and high fives outside. We know this can be tough and we will help all students arrive safely in their classrooms!
Arrival And Dismissal - we want to help our students safely enter and leave the building each day. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. We will not have staff available to supervise before this time. Students are not allowed to wait on our playgrounds. They will report to their classrooms or to the cafeteria for breakfast, if needed, when we open our doors each day at 8:30 AM. At the end of the day, we will dismiss our older grades first and end with our youngest students.
Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second and third grade will dismiss onto the east playground, fourth grade will dismiss using our main entrance doors on 8th street and 5th and 6th grade will dismiss using our 7th street doors. We appreciate families making and following consistent after school plans. Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!
Student Supplies (https://tinyurl.com/3u4rk8vm) - Please label student supplies with first and last names. If your family needs help with school supplies, please contact our office.
Wednesday Early Dismissal - we dismiss every Wednesday at 1:50 PM. Please be sure to set a reminder to pick up students promptly. Our staff use this time to collaborate to support learning for our students.
Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) - Lincoln PALS is our parent organization that supports our students, staff and school community. We meet each month in our Media Center on the second Tuesday of each month (unless there are conflicts) at 7:00 PM. Our first meeting is on Tuesday, September 8th. All are welcome to attend!
Snacks and Birthday Treats - We are proud to be a Blue Zones school and encourage healthy choices when students bring food for their daily snack. In addition, to support safety this school year when celebrating birthdays, we will ask for families to bring prepackaged items to minimize handling. Thank you!
