Please see below for information about end of the year reporting and picking up student belongings. We appreciate your help during our closure this spring!
Our continuous learning templates for the week of May 25th are below:

Picking Up Student Belongings - Families will be able to pick up student belongings on May 28th between 8 AM and 8 PM as well as May 29th between 7:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Families will need to drive up to our 7th Street Cafeteria windows, hold up a sign with student names and grades. Our staff will bring a bag with their belongings to your trunk. If you have items to return (library books, classroom books, black book bags or borrowed clothing), please place them in a labeled bag to hand to our staff. If you have a district provided iPad or Chromebook, please hold on to it for now. Thank you for your cooperation with the offered times and for respecting safety procedures during this time.
Picking Up Student Medications - to allow us to coordinate with picking up student belongings, please contact the health office via phone (31.553.2987) or email (christy.kelly@cfschools.org) prior to Wednesday, May 27th if your family would like their non-prescription meds to be sent home with school supplies. Please remember if you need to pick up prescription medication when you collect student belongings, an adult must be present. Our nursing staff will coordinate curbside pickup for you.
End of the year reporting - we will be sharing an end of the year summary of our learning objectives via email on June 2nd. In addition, staff will provide brief comments on student engagement during our closure.

Would you like to help us build a life sized Jenga for Lincoln? We know you may be seeking activities at home and we are working to build a life sized Jenga for use at future school events. Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) have created 51 pieces for our students and families to decorate. If interested, we ask that you paint, decorate or color (without attaching anything)! We will arrange a pickup time as well as a drop off opportunity with the families interested. Once collected, we will seal them for use at Lincoln! Sounds pretty amazing, right? If interested, please email Mr. Bryant and he will keep a list and communicate both pickup and dropoff.
Our playground equipment is closed to public use to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Thanks for following this district and community directive to keep everyone healthy!
Please continue to monitor your email, visit the District and our school website and social media channels for regular updates and connections to learning activities. The health and safety of our students, employees, and community is always our top priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. We will continue to move through this together, support each other, and do all we can to support you and your families.
