Daily Dismissal Plans - student safety during dismissal is our foremost concern. Please work with us to ensure that student(s) have a daily dismissal plan. We will follow the plan each day unless we receive a phone call or note from the parent to indicate a change in the plan. Please complete this form for each of your students, please. Thank you!

Input Conferences - are an opportunity for parents/guardians to speak with their child's classroom teacher to share your child's strengths, interests, concerns, and goals for the upcoming school year. The link will allow you to provide information electronically in advance of the Input Conference. Please use these directions to sign up for Input Conferences. If you need help scheduling, you can also call the school at 319.553.2950. If you are attending Preschool at Lincoln, please watch for an opportunity from Mrs. Rasmusson.

First Day Of School - to support student and staff safety, our staff will be available to help our students find their classes on the first day of school. We will have staff outside as well as in our hallways beginning at 8:30 AM. We ask that families help build student independence by taking pictures and getting their hugs and high fives outside. We know this can be tough and promise we will help all students arrive in their classrooms! 

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!

Student Supplies - Please label student supplies with first and last names please. Our supply lists can be found here. If your family needs help with school supplies, please contact Mr. Bryant.

Wednesday Early Dismissal - we dismiss every Wednesday at 1:50 PM. Please be sure to set a reminder to pick up students promptly. Our staff use this time to collaborate to support learning for our students.

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!

Thank you for your support! We are here to partner with your family to help each child have an amazing school year. We can’t wait to see you!

Respectfully,

Ralph Bryant
