Safety Reminders: 

Our school and school district will maintain our safety procedures regarding masks, hand washing and regular cleaning.

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:

We are looking forward to meeting with you for Virtual Conferences on March 9th and 11th! We will continue to hold our conferences via Zoom. The parent window to schedule conferences will open on Friday, February 19th and remain available through midnight on March 8th. Please see the parent instructions for step by step directions for scheduling. If you need help, please contact our office and we are happy to help! Also, we will send families the Zoom links for each teacher on Monday, March 8th. This will allow families to easily find the needed information to attend conferences virtually at their scheduled time.

The PALS Silent Auction Starts Tonight At 7 PM! The Silent Auction is one of our favorite parts of Wacky Winterfest! Without the chance to enjoy this wonderful event (which will be back!), we wanted to create a virtual Silent Auction to support our students and school! Starting Friday, March 5th at 7 PM, we will post pictures and a description of each grade level basket to the Lincoln PALS Facebook page every 15 minutes. If you would like to bid, we will use the comments sections for each post. The auction will end on Monday, March 8th at 9 PM. Thank you for your support, we are planning to use the funds we raise to update books we use to support classroom reading instruction!

PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) met last Monday. Here are our notes!

Let’s Talk Mental Health: A Community Conversation - our annual mental health night will take place on March 25th at 6 PM. Our community will have the opportunity to enjoy Like: A Documentary About The Impact Of Social Media On Our Lives. More information is available in the attached flyer. 

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!
