Hello Lincoln Families - Thank you for your support of our students and school this year! We have enjoyed partnering with each of you! Please make sure to set an alarm as we will dismiss at 12:00 PM today, Wednesday, June 3rd. Our picture this week features our 3rd graders learning from former Lincoln Tiger, Taylor Morris, about Gold Star families. Have a great summer!


Here are a few upcoming dates for our calendars:

6.3 - Last day of the year! Variety show beginning at approximately 9:00 AM, we will hold our 6th grade Graduation Walk at approximately 11:30, student dismissal at 12:00 PM

6th Grade Graduation Walk - we will celebrate our graduating 6th grade students on Wednesday beginning at approximately 11:30 AM by having them walk our halls one last time! Families are welcome to attend!


As our school year closes, we request that students only bring water to school. If you choose to visit a local coffee shop, please help your students finish before entering school. Thank you! 


End of the Year Lunch Balance - In order to balance our accounts in the lunch program at the close of the school year, we need to have your child's lunch account balance at 0 or above.  Please bring it up to date as soon as possible.  Any remaining balance will remain in your child's account and carry over for next year. If your children will not be attending Cedar Falls school next year, please let us know as soon as possible and they will be given a refund of the balance left in their account at the end of the year.
