Principal’s Letter - Jim Sonju


We are getting excited about the upcoming MCA tests for all students in grades three through eight. These tests give us a great deal of feedback on student learning at Lincoln and are considered high stakes testing as they have great implications on schools.

The Lincoln community has long embraced looking outside the box and creating creative approaches for student learning that works very well for our students.  It is imperative that our students continue to do well so we can continue to implement these innovative and unique experiences for our students.

What can you do as a parent to help ensure student success?

  • Encourage your son/daughter each day to do their very best on these tests.
  • Review their status on the Study Island website.
  • Work with them on Study Island and help them work through tougher concepts that they are having difficulties with.
  • Ensure they get a good night's sleep the weeks of testing.
  • Ensure that they are at school on the test days so they are able to take these tests.


  • Encourage, affirm, and support students so they know they are ready for these tests as we have all worked hard to prepare them to do their very best!
This is what we are telling all Lincoln students – "Give their best and don't sweat the rest!"

Looking forward to calling with results again this summer to report how well your son/daughter does on the important tests :)
