Lincoln Weekly Announcements 2020-08-28
Lincoln Families - thank you for a wonderful first week! We are honored to partner with you to support your child this school year! This was a week full of new learning, we are so excited to be back in school!
A few upcoming dates:
8.31 - First day for preschool students!
8.31 - 3:45 dismissal begins
9.2 - 1:50 dismissal
9.7 - No School, Labor Day
9.9 - 1:50 dismissal
Safety Reminders:
Face Coverings - please remember that students will be required to have a face covering or a shield while at school. The latest guidance from Black Hawk County Public Health states that either can be worn. It also states that if a staff or student plans to work in close proximity with others and are wearing a shield, they should plan to also wear a mask underneath. We appreciate your help discussing this and practicing at home before school starts. Our most recent Return To Learn family frequently asked questions document can be found here.
Visitors and Volunteers - to support safety, we will not be able to allow visitors or volunteers to enter our classrooms as the school year begins. We would like to encourage siblings to separate at the door and younger children begin practicing walking to their rooms on their own. We will continue to have adults in the hallway to help. In addition, if you come to the building to pick up your child, you can enter the office or call and we will walk the student outside to our visitor parking spots.

Arrival And Dismissal - we are working to help our students safely enter and leave the building. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. Please do not come before 8:30. They will report to their classrooms in the morning. At the end of the day, we will dismiss students by grade to the bus. Following this, we will dismiss students who are picked up or walk home by grade. Our staff will walk students to the door. There will be no after school activities so we will expect students to leave school immediately following dismissal. Thank you for your patience as we work to support student safety each morning and afternoon. Please plan for the process to take longer than in the past.
