We are looking forward to meeting with you for Fall Conferences on November 12th and 14th! The parent window to schedule conferences is open at midnight on October 28th-November 8th. Please see the parent instructions for step by step directions for scheduling. If you need help after the window closes, please contact our teachers or office and we will be happy to help!

Noon Dismissal on Thursday, November 14th - we will dismiss at noon on Thursday, November 14th. We will serve lunch before the students leave for the day. Please make sure students are picked up promptly and please do not ask them to wait on our playground as there will be no supervision.

Book Fair - Our book fair is coming & we need volunteers! The sign up is at bit.ly/lnbookfair or you can sign up on the library's Instagram page @lincolnlibrarycf We need LOTS of people to help with set up, classroom previews, selling books & packing up the fair when it's over. All profits go directly towards buying books for our library!

Book Club - there will be no Book Club on Tuesday, November 12th and Thursday, November 14th.

Reminders:

This is a friendly reminder that our school and breakfast opens each morning at 8:30. Students should not be dropped off at school or on our playgrounds before this time. In addition, we are asking for families to help our students build independence by letting them walk to their classroom on their own. Following dismissal, students should be picked up or go directly home. Unless under direct supervision of an adult, they cannot be on our playgrounds until after 4:15.

Student Directory - PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) offers our students and families an opt in directory to allow families to share information for invitations and play dates outside of school. If you would like to join or update information, please use these directions. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Bryant!

Cedar Falls Home Football Games Elementary students must be accompanied and supervised by adult chaperones during the game. They should be sitting in the stands and not hanging out or running around in the concourse area.
