Lincoln Wins The Summer Reading Program Trophy! For the last five years, the Cedar Falls Elementary Schools have competed to see which school could get the highest percentage of students to participate in the Cedar Falls Public Library's Summer Reading Program. This year Lincoln Elementary won! In order to honor those who participated, we would like to know if your child or children took part in Cedar Falls Public Library's Summer Reading Program.  We would like to take a group photo with the participating students and the trophy.

General Reminders

Face Coverings - we strongly encourage the continued use of face coverings at school. While this will remain optional for students, our goal is to be in school learning and know this played a large role in helping us accomplish that goal last school year. We will honor your requests for wearing face coverings at school. If a student needs a mask, we are happy to help! We have several options in our office. Thank you for helping keep all members of our school community safe!

Visitors and Volunteers - to support safety, we will not be able to allow families to enter our classrooms as the school year begins. On the first day of school, we will have staff available to help our students find their classrooms as they enter the building. Thank you for saying goodbye at the door! 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. They will report to their classrooms. At the end of the day, we will first dismiss students by grade who ride the bus. Following this, we will dismiss students who are picked up or walk home. Our staff will walk students to the door. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second grade will dismiss onto the east playground, third grade will also dismiss onto the east playground, fourth grade will dismiss using our main entrance doors on 8th street and 5th and 6th grade will dismiss using our 7th street doors. We appreciate families making and following consistent after school plans. Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

Snacks and Birthday Treats - We are proud to be a Blue Zones school and encourage healthy choices when students bring food for their daily snack. In addition, to support safety this school year when celebrating birthdays, we will ask for families to bring prepackaged items to minimize handling. Thank you!

Have a great weekend!
