Input Conferences, Supply Drop Off and School Pictures (https://tinyurl.com/yaxzru97)  - In an effort to streamline beginning of the year activities and establish a consistent routine for students sooner, we are trying something new this year by combining our traditional input conferences and Backpack Night into one event. We will also complete school pictures in the Gym when you are in the building! Input Conferences are an opportunity for parents to speak with your child's classroom teacher to share your child's strengths, interests, concerns, and goals for the upcoming school year. If your family has flexibility during the day, please consider leaving lunch and evening spots for those with less flexible schedules. Thank you! Please click on the link above to schedule a time! The scheduler will close on Friday, August 22nd!

Arrival And Dismissal - we want to help our students safely enter and leave the building each day. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. We will not have staff available to supervise before this time and students are not allowed to wait on our playgrounds. 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 ending with 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. 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.

Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) - Lincoln PALS is our parent organization that supports our students, staff and school community. We meet each month in our Media Center on the second Tuesday of each month (unless there are conflicts) at 7:00 PM. Our first meeting is on Tuesday, September 9th. All are welcome to attend!

Team Lincoln Clothing Order (https://tinyurl.com/44n8kzw3)  - beginning on Monday, August 25th, Lincoln PALS (Parents and Lincoln School) will offer a clothing order for our families! This will be open for two weeks, please get your orders in!

4th Grade Orchestra Parent Night (https://tinyurl.com/ffbs534h)  - our 4th grade students can join our Orchestra! Please consider attending this informational session on Thursday, September 4th!

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. In addition, we ask that students only bring water to school to drink. Please keep the fancy drinks at home! Thank you!

Lincoln Family Directory (https://tinyurl.com/4kxya9px) - Parents and Lincoln School (PALS) is sponsoring a directory to help our families connect! This is an opt in directory and it will be shared only with those families who choose to share their information. We will not share this link on social media. Please reach out to Mr. Bryant with questions!

Thank you for your support! 

Respectfully,

Ralph Bryant

Lincoln Elementary Principal
