New Announcements

Dressing for the weather - Colder weather arrived! We will enjoy outside recess if the temperature or wind chill is above zero. Please carefully watch the forecast and send students to school with clothing that will allow them to enjoy recess. If your student needs help with winter gear, please contact their teacher and we will do our best to help.

Our Mitten Tree is ready! Our school has an annual tradition of supporting our students and families for the holidays. We have a small Christmas tree in our office with mittens. Each mitten is an opportunity to provide a gift to a deserving Lincoln student or family member. In addition, we will also offer a way to “virtually” grab a mitten using this Sign Up Genius. We are requesting that all gifts are wrapped and turned in to the Lincoln Office by December 20th for delivery!

Please join us for our next PALS meeting on Tuesday, December 14th! 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 December 14th, January 11th, February 8th, March 1st, April 12th and May 10th. We would welcome your involvement!

Join us for some fun holiday themed dress up days! Please feel free to participate in these optional days!

Enrollment forms - earlier this week we sent home this form with the youngest or only student for each family. Please help us begin planning for 2022-2023 by returning this to school on or before Friday, December 17th.

General Reminders

Face Coverings - we strongly encourage the continued use of face coverings at school. Our goal is to keep everyone in our school learning! 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!
