Lincoln Lowdown

Lincoln Staff,

As we close out September, we recognize Suicide Prevention Month and the important role each of us plays in creating a school community where our students feel supported, connected, and know they are never alone.

Middle school can bring significant changes and challenges for our students, and often it is a teacher, counselor, paraeducator, coach, or other trusted adult on campus who notices when a student may need some extra support. The relationships you build with students each day matter. A simple check-in, taking the time to listen, or connecting a student with additional support can make a meaningful difference.

As we head into another week, thank you for continuing to look out for our students, and for helping us build a Lincoln community where every student feels seen, valued, supported, and connected.

Have a great week!

A huge thank you to our 6th Grade Coordinators- Beth and Ron, teachers, and staff who helped make Camp Lincoln such a great experience for our students!

Our 6th graders had an opportunity to step outside the classroom, build connections, work collaboratively, strengthen relationships, and have a ton of fun along the way! These experiences are so important as our newest Lions continue to build a sense of belonging and community at Lincoln.

Thank you for all the work that went into making Camp Lincoln such a success and creating a memorable experience for our students. What a great example of ROARing Together and SOARing Together!

Place of Birth: South Los Angeles

Years at Lincoln: 1

Favorite Educator: Ms. Alexis because she is extremely good at her job. She helps me be a better teacher by sharing the knowledge she has of her students. She is also my wife.

Fun Fact: My aunt Delores Pullard was the tallest woman in the world.

A big thank you to everyone for completing the Keenan Mandated Reporter Training! We know these required trainings take time out of an already busy schedule, and we appreciate everyone making it a priority and meeting the deadline.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the safety and well-being of our students and for doing your part to keep Lincoln a safe and supportive school community.

A quick heads-up that I will be off campus for most of the day on Tuesday for Secondary Job Alikes and Wednesday for Classified Negotiations. I plan to return to campus afterward on both days, but my availability will be limited for much of the day.

I will be checking email periodically, so please feel free to reach out if needed. Our administrative team will also be available on campus for any immediate needs.

Thank you!

A huge thank you to our amazing PTSA for helping coordinate and put together a fun-filled 6th Grade Movie Night! Our students had a great time spending the evening with friends, building connections, and enjoying another memorable Lincoln experience. We appreciate our PTSA for continuing to create opportunities that bring our Lions together!
