Dear Lincoln Families,
Thank you all for your participation in Fall parent-teacher conferences.

Contact our secretaries in the main office at (269) 337--0640 if you are unable or unsure how to connect with the homeroom teacher.

Need Food?
The best way to find food resources locally is to call 211 or Text your zip code to 898-211 to find the resources that are closest to you. The information on food programs through 211 will be the most accurate and up to date list of resources, as individual pantries may change hours or access depending on increased food needs this month. The YMCA here at Lincoln also provides food on a first come first serve basis by appointment. You can call the main office to be connected with YMCA staff to set up an appointment time.
