Zip-Loc Bags Needed for Book Swap

With Spring just around the corner, the Lincoln K-8 Book Swap will be here before we know it! We are need of Zip-loc bags (gallon size or larger) to hold books. Zip-loc donations can be sent to your child’s classroom or dropped off in the book bin outside the office. We have ordered several additional books from Scholastic and continue to receive numerous book donations from generous Lincoln families! Thank you! We have almost 3,000 books leveled and labeled. Our goal is for students to each receive 6 books to read over the summer. The only “summer slide” Lincoln children will have this year is straight up!! Thanks again for your support!

No SACC at Lincoln 2011-12

Rochester Public Schools School Age Child Care recently conducted a survey regarding the possibility of SACC being open on site at Lincoln for next school year 2011-2012. The results have been complied. At this time SACC is unable to open a location on site at Lincoln. Thank you to the 22 families who did reply. We will continue to offer SACC at all other elementary buildings to Lincoln families. We will also continue to monitor the needs in the future. Please let me know if you have questions. Thank you.
