Are you looking for opportunities for your students? Please make use of the Fliers section of our district website!

This is a friendly reminder that our students should arrive at Lincoln after 8:30 AM. Our staff are not on duty before this time and we want to be sure our students are safe! In addition, please make sure that you follow the dismissal plans you shared with staff at Backpack Night. Our staff appreciate the chance to prepare for the next day when our students are picked up in a timely manner. Last, if you choose to allow your students to play on the playground after dismissal, they should be under your direct supervision. This ensures that all students are safe! Thank you!

2018 Cedar Falls Football Games in the UNI-Dome - Elementary students attending Cedar Falls football games in the UNI-Dome are expected to sit with their parent/guardian or an adult who is supervising them.  Elementary students should not be roaming the UNI-Dome unsupervised.

Would your family benefit from the Backpack Program? Lincoln is partnering with the Northeast Iowa Food Bank to provide the BackPack Program to students during the 2018-19 school year. The BackPack Program is a FREE program that provides kid-friendly, non-perishable food for students most in need, to eat over the weekends and breaks when school meals are not available and there may be little or no food to eat.

Please carefully consider your family's economic status and determine if this program is something needed by your child(ren). If the BackPack program is something your family could depend on, please complete the attached registration form and return it with your student to school. Only one registration form needs to be completed to include all of the students in your home, and can be given to your child's teacher or the front office. If you are interested in the program, but would like us to send the registration form home with your child, please contact Mrs. Jacobsen. Delivery will begin at the end of September, but I can add children at any time. Along with this registration form, there is a letter included with more detailed information. Please contact Mrs. Jacobsen if you have further questions or are interested in joining.
