Here we go! I couldn't be more excited to start another school year for a multitude of reasons. I will share just a few of the reasons we should all be proud to be in the Lincoln Family.
Our MCAII results are in for last year and they look great! We are very excited about the continued growth and progress at Lincoln which is a tribute to our students, parents and staff! These impressive results are thanks to the incredible efforts of everyone! Check out this amazing growth over the past three years with Lincoln MCAII proficiency scores:
| Subject | 06-07 | 07-08 | 08-09 | 09-10 |
| Math | 71% | 80% | 81% | 88.65% !!! |
| Reading | 79% | 80% | 85% | 86.52% !!! |
| Science – Grade 5 | ---- | ---- | 68.3% | 82.1% (+13.8%) |
| Science – Grade 8 | ---- | ---- | 51.7% | 85.2% (+33.5%) |
We have our brand new SMART Table which was made possible by families purchasing SCRIP. We have only scratched the surface of what SCRIP can provide our students and we look forward to doing everything possible to make it easier for families to participate in this easy program to support Lincoln. We will be fully loaded with cards at Meet the Teacher to get things rolling this year!
We invite all families to attend two events on September 1st to reconnect with teachers, families and classmates.
- Meet the Teacher (3:00-5:00) is a perfect time to visit classrooms and connect/reconnect with staff, families, and classmates. The Information Fair will be held in the gymnasium where you can get your folders, important information for the year, and sign up for opportunities at Lincoln.
- The Lincoln Back to School Picnic will take place from 5:00-6:30 and is sponsored by the Lincoln PPT (Program Planning Team). This is always a great event organized by the PPT Social Committee.
