Halloween and Early Dismissal Plans for Friday, October 28th - We will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 28th! We invite our Kinder, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Grade students to wear costumes to school. This is encouraged, but not required. Our 5th and 6th grade students will not dress in costumes. We ask our families to support all students by not including costumes that might scare others, including fake weapons or blood. We plan to do a very short parade inside the building that will begin at approximately 11:30. Parents may choose to join us in the Gym. Each grade level will have a short party during the morning and we will send home lunch with our students who order it as we dismiss at noon as well!

Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) is hosting a conference meal for our staff on Tuesday, November 8th! This opportunity for our staff to eat together and take a quick break from conferences and enjoy a meal prepared by our families. Please consider helping by clicking on the link. Thank you!

Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) invites you to join us! Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 11th at 7 PM in our Library. PALS is a collaborative effort to support our students, staff and school! Please reach out to any of our listed members or Mr. Bryant if you would like to join us or have any questions!

Second Entrees at lunch - our Food Service has provided clarity around the ordering of more than one lunch per day. Students are able to order a second entree (slice of pizza, chicken nuggets, bosco sticks, etc.) for an additional charge of $2.25. Students may also purchase a second milk for an additional charge of $0.50. Students will no longer be able to purchase two full meals per day. The ordering of a second entree can only occur in the morning when teachers take attendance and lunch count. To give permission for this, we ask that you communicate both with the classroom teacher and Mrs. Czuba in the office. This will help us plan ahead and ensure you are aware of the extra charge. This change will be open to all students on December 1st.

Information To Remember:

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. We do not provide supervision before 8:30 AM. 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, please do not ask your students to wait on our playgrounds until you are able to arrive.  Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

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!

Have a great weekend!
