26-27 Incoming 7th Conference

Dear Future Leopards,

I enjoyed meeting with your 6th-grade students last week at the middle schools.

Here is the packet that was given to students during student presentations that includes highlights from the Junior High Course Catalog, information about junior high, and course selection information for 7th grade.

Please review the linked Athletic Flyer, which provides information about 2026 spring tryout dates for the next school year (2026-2027). ​At the bottom of the above flyer, there is an LJHS Athletics Interest Form, to receive updates on tryouts. Coaches will communicate updates to those on the mailing list.

Should a student successfully make it onto a competitive athletic team, their schedule will automatically include a designated athletic period for that specific sport instead of a PE course. Coaches provide the final list of athletes to our counselors.

I look forward to meeting you and your 6th-grade student online this month as we continue the SSP process of 7th-grade course selections for next school year at Lincoln.

Starting on February 9th, I will be available to meet with you for a 20-minute virtual appointment to discuss course options. To schedule an appointment, please follow this link: You Can Book Me.

In addition to virtual appointments through You Can Book Me, Lincoln Junior High is hosting a Student Success Plan Night on Tuesday, February 17th from 4:00-6:00pm. LJHS staff will be available to incoming students and families to review course selections, answer questions about junior high, and facilitate the completion of the Course Selection Form. Please sign up for LJHS SSP Night here. This is an optional night for those that have additional questions or need assistance selecting courses for 7th grade.

When you are ready to select your course requests, please complete the Course Selection Form. Once you have submitted your course requests, you will receive an email copy of the selections. Requests need to be submitted through this form by March 6th, 2026.

If you have any questions about course requests for next year, including parent meetings, your appointment, or the Google form, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Shannon Finer

Lincoln Junior High
