Please carefully read this letter outlining Safety Drills at Lincoln, including when we deliver safety lessons and practice our off site evacuation drills the week of October 23rd as well as our Dangerous Intruder drill on November 3rd. I have also attached to letter to this message.

We are looking forward to meeting with you for Fall Conferences on November 14th and 16th. The parent window to schedule conferences is open October 23rd-November 3rd. Please see the parent instructions for step by step directions for scheduling. These same instructions can be found on our blog post as well. After the window closes, you may contact your child’s teacher or the office to schedule a time to meet.

Can you help?  PALS will be providing a meal to staff during conferences.  See the signup for ways you can donate! Let's show them how THANKFUL we are for everything they do for our kids.

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminders - In the morning when dropping off on the 8th Street side of our building, please pull up as close as possible to our front doors to drop off. Please do not drop off near our playgrounds. Pulling up ensures that traffic continues to move and allows our students to have a crossing guard if they need to cross.
