A Letter from Mr. Sonju and a “Welcome Back to School Special” (pandemic style)!


A Letter from Mr. Sonju


Greetings Lincoln K-8 Families!

We are very excited to be back at school with Hybrid Learning this Fall.

These are extraordinary times which means we will need to work even harder as a school community to provide an amazing educational experience for our students.

We are faced with many challenges but it is our job as educators, parents, and students to focus on having a “WE CAN DO THIS” attitude.

We will be focusing on procedures the first weeks of school to help keep each other safe so we can continue with in person learning at school.

We would appreciate your support in discussions with your kids on the importance of wearing masks, washing hands, social distancing while at school, on the bus, etc...

 We will continually be adapting to our situation with flexibility this year.

Here are just a few changes for the start of the year for you to take note of in the first weeks of school.

  • We will not be allowed to have students bring birthday treats to school until further notice because of possible viral/germ transfer.
  • Students will not be allowed to share any food items- snack/lunch.
  • Please see the below information on dropping off and picking up students.

Thank-you so much for all of your support for our students and staff!

Mr. Sonju

  • At the times noted above, teachers will walk students out the door assigned and to the bus lines.
  • Students will have a staggered dismissal time starting at 2:25 to avoid congregated areas.
  • Please do not go into the bus line until your designated dismissal time.
  • By allowing the earlier groups to go it will alleviate the line.

 Welcome Back to “The Greatest School in the Universe”!

The PPT would like to welcome back all our Lincoln Family and to extend a warm welcome to the new incoming students and their families!

Lincoln teachers are no longer able to ask parents/guardians to assist with defraying the cost of various necessary classroom supplies such as disinfectant wipes, Kleenex, hand sanitizer and art supplies, just to name a few. To clarify, this is for items in addition to what is already on the supply list, to restock classrooms as those items run out in the course of the year.

The Lincoln PPT has taken over the responsibility to collect donations and raise funds to cover these costs.  We need your help!  Please consider making a voluntary donation of $25 per child to the Lincoln PPT to help cover the costs of these classroom supplies. 
Click on the link to DONATE via PayPal and support the Lincoln PPT.

    DONATE


Click on the “Donate” button above, or cash or checks are accepted.  Make checks payable to “Lincoln PPT” and write “PPT Classroom Fundraiser” on the memo line.  Donations can also be sent in via backpack express to the school.

 

Due to the Coronavirus we will not be holding out Auction Fundraiser this fall, which is how 97% of our budget is funded. Stay tuned for ways to support the school in the next several weeks! Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Thank you for your continued support for Lincoln students and staff!

 

The PPT would like to welcome all parents to the 2020/2021 school year and invite you to attend the virtual meetings!

We would like to invite all parents and guardians to join us in the Lincoln K-8 PPT! For those new to Lincoln, PPT stands for Program Planning Team which is similar to a PTA (Parent/Teacher Association). The PPT is made up of parents/guardians, staff representatives, and the principal. All parents/guardians are members of the PPT simply because your child attends Lincoln, there is no cost to participate!

The PPT is responsible for organizing a variety of social events, for raising funds to support academic enrichment opportunities, and for encouraging active parent/guardian involvement. We want you to feel welcomed and informed about the happenings at Lincoln.

In order for our PPT to be successful, we need you. We invite you to be a participating member of the Lincoln community by attending PPT meetings when you can. All are welcome! The meetings are held on the third Monday of the month. This year due to the pandemic, all meetings will be held virtually. The meetings begin at 7:00 pm and last about an hour. The links to the virtual meetings will be posted the week prior on the PPT website:
