Abraham Lincoln Elementary

Our first full week is complete and our students have been awesome! Although, there is no tired like first full week back to school tired :) Make sure your kids get plenty of play time outside and plenty of sleep this weekend!

The office team visited all 5th grade classrooms to talk about the definition of bullying, how to report it, and what we can do to ensure our school is free from bullying. We will meet with 4th grade students next week. Both grade levels really focus on 3 characteristics….bullying is when mean behaviors are repeated, intentional, and have some sort of power imbalance. As always, just be kind is a motto that will keep us bully free at all times!

There is also a new law in effect that bans cell phones from being out during the school day, so please remind students if phones are in backpacks, they must stay there and be powered off. The law actually includes smart watches as well. As long as kids are only using a watch as a watch, we will be fine. We only had one phone issue this week!

​

Please remember to have students bring back their lanyards to school every day. It is important for breakfast, lunch, and eventually buses.

It’s been a great first full week. Let’s keep it going!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs. Tidd

¡Ya hemos terminado nuestra primera semana completa y nuestros alumnos han estado fantásticos! Aunque no hay nada como el cansancio de la primera semana completa de vuelta a la escuela :) ¡Asegúrense de que sus hijos pasen mucho tiempo jugando al aire libre y duerman bien este fin de semana!

El equipo de la oficina visitó todas las clases de 5.º grado para hablar sobre la definición de acoso escolar, cómo denunciar y qué podemos hacer para asegurarnos de que nuestra escuela esté libre de acoso escolar. La próxima semana nos reuniremos con los alumnos de 4.º grado. Ambos grados se enfocan especialmente en tres características… El acoso escolar ocurre cuando los comportamientos crueles son repetidos, intencionales y existen desequilibrios de poder. Como siempre, ¡«solo sé amable» es un lema que nos mantendrá libres de acoso escolar en todo momento!

También está en efecto una nueva ley que prohíbe sacar los celulares durante la hora de clases, así que, por favor, recuerden a los alumnos que, sí tienen los celulares en sus mochilas, deben dejarlos ahí y apagarlos. De hecho, la ley también incluye los relojes inteligentes. Mientras los niños usen el reloj únicamente como reloj, no habrá problema. ¡Esta semana sólo tuvimos un incidente relacionado con un celular!

Por favor, recuerden pedirles a los alumnos que traigan sus cordones identificativos a la escuela todos los días. Son importantes para el desayuno, el almuerzo y, más adelante, para los autobuses.

Ha sido una primera semana completa genial. ¡Sigamos así!

Que tengan un buen fin de semana,

Sra. Tidd

• When your child is absent, you must call them into the attendance line at 317-789-3802.
• Please make sure your phone numbers, including emergency phone numbers, are up to date in Skyward. It is a safety concern when we can’t get ahold of anyone.
• Any transportation changes must be called into the office no later than 2:00pm each day to ensure a safe and seamless dismissal for our students.
• Due to the car rider line starting early, no students will be released past 2:15pm so please plan accordingly.
• If you would like to eat lunch with your student, please let the office know ahead of time so they can ensure that the parent/student lunch area is not already occupied that day. During the first two weeks of school we will not be accepting lunch visitors so that students can learn the cafeteria procedures and rules. We would love to see you for lunch beginning 8/17.
