This year parents will schedule input conferences through the PowerSchool Parent portal. This is the same portal used to complete registration. All kindergarten and new to District families should have received an email with directions to create your parent portal account. If you need assistance creating your account, please call the Lincoln office, email powerhelp@cfschools.org or call our PowerSchool Support line at 319-553-3004. To schedule your child’s input conference, please do the following:

• To delete the reservation, refresh the page and click the red minus button to the right of a reservation under “My Reservations”

If you are attending Preschool at Lincoln, please watch for an opportunity from Mrs. Rasmusson.

First Day Of School - to support student 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 safely 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 or to the cafeteria for breakfast if needed. At the end of the day, we will dismiss students beginning with Kindergarten and moving through 6th grade. 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. We will not have supervision for students prior to 8:30 AM each morning. Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

Main Street Construction - due to construction on Main Street, we are working with the city to determine the best route for students to use when crossing in the morning and afternoon. Once determined, this will be shared via our social media. Please watch for updates!

Student Supplies - Please label student supplies with first and last names please. Our supply lists can be found here (https://tinyurl.com/ysf728db).  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!
