A few upcoming dates:

12.23-1.4 - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, No School!

1.4 - No school for students

1.5 - Students return to school! (This is a Tuesday!)

Safety Reminders: 

We would appreciate having all families wear face masks when dropping off or picking up from school. In addition, please help our students keep them on until you leave our school and school grounds. Thank you! 

Face Coverings - please remember that students will be required to have a face covering at school and on the bus. The most recent guidance from our state states that if a student is exposed to a positive case in a community setting such as school and both people are properly wearing masks, the exposed individual would not need to quarantine. This will only apply to students who are wearing masks, not face shields. 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 will continue to have adults in the hallway to help our students each morning. 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. As our weather gets colder, please plan to arrive after 8:30 as we will not be able to have kids come inside the school early. After 8:30, we will continue to ask students to 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:

Please contact the school if your student is exposed to or experiencing COVID related symptoms during break. You are welcome to leave a voicemail at school (319.553.2950) or email Mr. Bryant (ralph.bryant@cfschools.org).

Preschool Registration - Registration for Cedar Falls Schools 2021-2022 Preschool will open at Noon on Friday, January 29, 2021. Registration is online at https://www.cfschools.org/parents/preschool.

Specials Plan For Our Next Cycle - Starting on January 5th and continuing through January 13th, our

Sixth, third, Kinder and second grade students will attend Specials (Art, Music, PE and Media) outside of the classroom. In addition, fourth, first, sixth and fifth grades will eat in our Cafeteria and attend PE in the Gym.

Dressing for the weather - colder weather is ahead of us! We do our best to be outside as much as possible. Please carefully watch the forecast and send students in clothing that will allow them to enjoy recess. We ask students who do not have boots to remain on hard surfaces. If your student needs help with winter gear, please contact their teacher and we will do our best to help.

A 2020-2021 Yearbook Would Be An Amazing Christmas Gift! We have extras available in our office for $15. Please let us know if you would like to purchase one!

Please continue to save and collect Hy-Vee receipts! We are able to turn these in and receive a check that Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) uses to support our students and staff!  Please drop them off at the Lincoln Office OR at 804 West 13th Street. Thank you!
