Lincoln Families - in an effort to shorten our weekly family email, we will begin to keep recurring informational items here for your reference (https://tinyurl.com/yr2j2nd7) 

If you drop off or pick up your students using 7th Street, please do not park near our bus entrance or exit. Due to snow, our buses require extra space to enter and exit our bus lane. Thank you!

We will celebrate the holidays during the week of December 15th-19th! Please remember these days are optional and to have fun! We can ask students to change if disruptions to learning occur.

Tiger Performance Center (TPC) Bound Campaign (https://tinyurl.com/35d9rf2k) - Our district is launching our #Tigerpride Bound Campaign - support the completion of the SCHEELS Tiger Performance Center (TPC)! Funds raised will support the TPC flooring purchase. The flooring includes an area of artificial turf field, a running track and general multipurpose area to accommodate tennis, basketball, volleyball, batting cages, golf nets, cheer & dance and much more! Beyond athletics, the facility will accommodate marching band and color guard rehearsals, Robotics Club drone flights, and ROTC drills. The entire TPC will also enrich classroom learning and provide shared space for community events. All donations are tax-deductible. Donations over $250 will automatically receive a letter for tax purposes. Those interested in giving $1000 or more can be included in our naming rights wall. Click the link to donate!

Second Step - During the second quarter of the school year Team Lincoln will learn about emotion management. When students can manage their own emotions, they are able to recognize how they feel, understand why they feel that way, and choose healthy ways to respond. Instead of reacting with anger, frustration, or sadness, they learn strategies to calm down, think clearly, and make good decisions. Developing these skills helps children build a positive sense of self, positive relationships, stay focused in class, and handle challenges with confidence and care. Learn how you can support this at home!
