URGENT! All Lincoln Parents! Your voices are needed!
Yesterday, an email from Rochester Public Schools with the subject, "Facilities Task Force Video Update" was sent to RPS families. In that note, there is a link to a video delivered by Superintendent Muñoz explaining some brainstorming ideas the facilities task force has explored to address school capacity, diversity, and walking zones. At the 1:40 mark, Superintendent Muñoz explains one idea being explored is "making Lincoln a K-5 building." Here's a link:
In the same video, Muñoz emphasizes these are brainstorming ideas only. Decisions must be approved by the school board, and the preliminary discussion with the school board will occur on Tuesday, October 16. The public is welcome to attend a Citizen Voice Meeting at the Edison Board Room (615 7th Street SW) on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 5:30 PM. You may also live stream the meeting on YouTube (@ISD535).
As Lincoln parents and friends, many of you may have an opinion to share with the task force or school board. At this stage in the process, I'll offer these options which you may choose to pursue:
1. Attend the Lincoln PPT meeting on Monday, October 15th at 7:00 in the school library. More information and organization efforts may be shared there.
2. Attend the Citizen Voice Meeting at the Edison Board Room (615 7th Street SW) on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 5:30 PM. Share your concern in person!
3. Contact RPS board members directly. Contact information (including email addresses) can be found here: http://www.rochester.k12.mn.
4. Share awareness and concern with other Lincoln families. Spread the word!
Thanks for your attention to this community discussion. With enough awareness and voice of concern, I'm confident Lincoln will remain the K-8 choice school we know and love today.

World Class Learning Opportunity with Mayo Clinic Simulation Center
We are in an amazing collaboration with the Mayo Clinic SIM Center as we have our entire Uppers’ Program participating in hands-on learning at our site and also at the SIM Center itself.
Students are learning about various medical procedures and techniques at the SIM Center at the Stabile Building downtown Rochester.
Students experience 8 hands-on learning stations which are 10 minutes in length.
Students experience 8 hands-on learning stations which are 10 minutes in length.
Stations include: Ultra sound, Identify pulses and pupillary responses, basic anatomy, FLS training, CPR, AED, stop the bleed, and knot tying.
We are working on this pilot program creating curriculum and the partnership to hopefully expand to more grades and opportunities to come.
The group of instructors are incredibly diverse, from around the world and phenomenal in sharing their expertise. The mannequins can speak many languages and the technology is incredible as our students are learning in the midst where top surgeons and doctors train.
Please contact Mr. Sonju if you are interesting in helping fund the cost of the transportation and materials needed for this program.
We would like to maximize these amazing learning opportunities for our students and would like to remove any barriers such as cost of bussing and materials to continue this learning back at our school.
