Lincoln Families,

What an incredible start to the school year! The first two days have been filled with so much energy, excitement, and joy—it’s that spirit that makes Lincoln such a special place.

As we move into next week, let’s carry that same momentum forward and continue to show Respect, Ownership, Achievement, and Resiliency (ROAR) in all that we do. Together, we are building a community where our students feel supported, empowered, and proud to be Lincoln Lions.

Thank you for the love and support you give every day—it’s what makes Lincoln truly shine. Here’s to an amazing year ahead!

Events this week:

8/25 - Show Expectations Video in Homebase Classes + complete survey by Tuesday

Thank you for an amazing first day of school and for being part of something truly special here at Lincoln! It was such a pleasure meeting many of you, and I encourage you to continue staying involved and engaged as we build a strong, connected community together.

Below are some images that captured the energy and joy of the day—we hope you enjoy seeing the moments that made it so special.

We’re excited for all that this year will bring—thank you for your partnership in making Lincoln a place where every student can thrive.

We are excited to announce our Back to School Picnic on Friday, September 5th from 4:00–6:00pm on the Lincoln football field! This will be a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, connect with one another, and celebrate the start of a great school year.

Please save the date, and if you’d like to volunteer, you can sign up easily by scanning the QR code on the flyer. Your support helps make events like this so special for our students and families.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We want to let you know that many of your child’s textbooks are available digitally through their Clever account. If you would prefer print copies for home use, your child is welcome to check them out at the Lincoln Library.

Please note that not all textbooks are available online. Some teachers may not require students to use a print version at home, but if you would like your child to have one, they are always welcome to check it out from the library.

Thank you for your support in helping us ensure students have the resources they need for a successful year!

Mock Trial season has arrived. This year, there will not be an in-person information meeting, as all details can be found in the links below. Auditions will take place on Wednesday, August 27 in Room 256. Announcements will also be shared with students during Homebase.

If your child is interested in participating, please review the information provided below and be sure they attend the audition. Thank you for supporting this exciting opportunity.

If you have signed your child up for Right at School’s after-school program, please know that the program has officially started and students are expected to attend. Staff from Right at School will be meeting students after school in the patio area outside the cafeteria, after school.

For families who would still like to join, please complete an application using the QR code below.

Thank you for ensuring your child is there on time so they can fully participate!
