Information To Support Student Health - please carefully look over these graphics included in our district newsletter to help to support the health of our students and staff:

Center for Disease Control Next Steps

Guidance for Close Contact Exposure

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 daily. 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. 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 ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. Please do not come before 8:30. They will report to their classrooms. 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. 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.

Additional Announcements:

We need your help! Our District Equity Committee would like to gather student input as we seek to provide a safe school environment for all of our students. We would like families of students currently in grades 2nd through 6th grade to complete this survey together between September 25th and October 2nd. In addition, we have prepared this frequently asked questions (FAQ) document to provide answers to your questions. Please contact Mr. Bryant with any questions. Thank you!

Backpack Program - Lincoln Elementary is partnering with the Northeast Iowa Food Bank to provide the BackPack Program to students during the 2020-2021 school year.  The BackPack Program is a free program that provides kid-friendly, non-perishable food for students most in need to eat over 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 depends upon, please complete the registration form.  

Specials Plan For Our Next Cycle - We will continue to have one morning and one afternoon class attend Art and Music outside of the classroom. Also, starting Monday, this will also include attending Media in the Library. Our plan for the next four day cycle will be to have our sixth grade in the morning and fourth grade in the afternoon. We will continue to share this opportunity with each grade level cycle.

Box Tops For Education - Box Tops is one of many ways our school raises money to support our students and staff! Please click on the link for a simple explanation of how to help!
