April Weekly Update🦁

• 🌟 A Message from the Principal

  Dear Lincoln Families,

  We hope you had a restful and relaxing long weekend! As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we are focusing on what matters most—learning, growth, and staying positive and focused each day.

  At Lincoln, we believe that success comes from being both academically prepared and emotionally grounded. Over the next few weeks, we are encouraging students to practice strategies that help them stay calm, focused, and ready to learn.

  💙 Thank You, Lincoln Families

  We are so grateful for your continued support, partnership, and dedication to your child’s success. Together, we are building leaders and creating a school community where everyone thrives.

  Let’s have an amazing week—GO LIONS! 🦁💙

• ⏰ Attendance Matters!

  Did you know?

  • Arriving just 10 minutes late each day = over 30 hours of missed instruction per year
  • Being on time helps students start their day calm, confident, and ready to learn

  We know this time of year can be busy, but every minute counts!

  💙 We encourage all families to:

  • Prioritize daily attendance
  • Limit early pick-ups
  • Reinforce the importance of school at home

  Help us make Lincoln shine by modeling how important school is!

🧠 Leader in Me – Family Connection

This week, we are focusing on an important habit:
👂 Listen Before You Talk

Listening helps build strong relationships, solve problems, and show respect.

Try this activity at home with your child:

💬 Family Challenge:
Have a conversation where each person practices listening fully before responding. Talk about how it felt!

• State testing is here, and we need your partnership to help our students do their very best!

  Even with upcoming holidays, celebrations, and events—including Holy Week and other important family traditions—we strongly encourage all students to be:

  • ✅ Present every day
  • ⏰ On time
  • 😴 Well-rested and ready to learn

  Testing is an opportunity for our students to show what they know and shine! Your support at home makes a big difference.

  💡 Helpful Tips:

  • Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep
  • Have them arrive on time each morning
  • Encourage a positive mindset

  Let’s work together to help our Lincoln Lions ROAR! 🦁
