Would you like to volunteer for our Book Fair? Each year we host a Book Fair for our families during conferences. We will offer extended hours during conferences this year as we will hold it in our Flex Space upstairs! Each purchase helps our students improve as readers and the profit helps place more books into our school library! A true win-win!

Would you be willing to help provide a conference meal for our staff during Conference Week on Tuesday, November 13th? If so, could you please sign up here? Thank you for supporting our teachers!

PALS and Fundraising - Parents and Lincoln School (PALS) invite you to support our school through the variety of fundraisers during the year. In addition to our fall fundraiser, families and students can support our school in many ways! We appreciate your support of our school!

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.
