Please join us for PALS Meetings! PALS stands for Parents and Lincoln School. This organization is open to all and focuses on building community through communication, education and service. Our team focuses on supporting our students, families, staff and school community. We will meet the second Tuesday of each month (with a few exceptions) at 7:00 PM. Our meeting location will be in our Media Center. The dates we will meet this year include October 12th, November 16th, December 14th, January 11th, February 8th, March 1st, April 12th and May 10th. We would welcome your involvement!

Backpack Program - Lincoln Elementary is again partnering with the Northeast Iowa Food Bank to offer the Backpack Program to students during the 2021-2022 school year.  This is a free program that provides kid-friendly, non-perishable food for students to eat over weekends and breaks when school meals are not available.  Lincoln will begin sending food bags home on Friday, October 1, and will continue on most Fridays for the rest of the school year.  If your family would like to participate, please complete the  attached registration form, or call Mrs. Jacobsen at 553-2977 to register.

Trash and Tailgate! Lincoln PALS is planning an opportunity for families to socialize, play outdoor games and help with the clean up of our grounds on Saturday, October 16th! Bring the whole family, feel free to wear your work gloves and favorite sports team apparel! We encourage families to bring and share yard games as well as any Lincoln apparel they may want to swap with others! See you there!

Picture Retake Day - our students will have the chance to have their picture retaken if needed on October 18th. These will start at approximately 9 AM.

General Reminders

Face Coverings - we strongly encourage the continued use of face coverings at school. Our goal is to be in school learning and know this played a large role in helping us accomplish that goal last school year. 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!

See you next week!
