New Items:

Families - we need your help with student safety each morning. Students who arrive early are not supervised by school staff. We ask them not to arrive until 8:30 to be sure our staff are available to help everyone start their day positively. As a reminder, Safety Patrol students should not arrive before 8:20.

Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) Movie Night! We will host a family movie night on Friday, November 18th beginning at 6 PM in our Cafeteria. We will show The Grinch (Rated PG) and provide popcorn. Families are welcome to bring blankets, chairs and treats to enjoy a free time together at school! We ask families to attend and enjoy with us!

Book Club will not meet on Tuesday, November 22nd. They will start meeting again on Tuesday, November 29th.

Team Lincoln NIght - We would like to invite our families to join us at school on Tuesday, December 6th from 5:30-6:30 PM. We will have an open house format to allow families to visit the classrooms for each of their students to learn about reading services available at Lincoln as well as our classroom work in reading and math! 

Supporting Our Mitten Tree! Each year we host a Mitten Tree to support Lincoln families for the holidays. This is coordinated by our amazing counselor, Mrs. Jacobsen. Sidecar Coffee has agreed to help with this tradition by donating 5% of their sales on Friday, December 2nd between 7 and 10 AM. Thank you for supporting our families during the holidays!

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, students can 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!
