Thu May 30th- Last Day of School

When a day(s) is missed due to school closings (known as “emergency day”), the day(s) will be made up at the end of the school year, in accordance with the approved calendar.

At present, due to the District utilizing three emergency days so far this school year, the last day of school is Thursday, May 30.

This week all students participated in iReady diagnostic assessment. This piece of information is great to see how much our students have grown over the year! I look forward to this information and look forward to celebrating with our teams and leadership team!

We had 2 field trips this week, on Tuesday our 5th grade team went to Rockford's Civil War Days, and today our 4th graders attended a play at the Arcada Theater. The classes enjoyed extending their learning beyond the classroom.

Next week is teacher appreciation week, and Friday is our 95th celebration! I look forward to seeing everyone Friday night to enjoy the history of Lincoln School.

On Tuesday, May 28th Lincoln students will have the opportunity to participate in our last Field Day at Lincoln Elementary. To run this event we need you. A volunteer signup form will be emailed to you at the beginning of May, please consider taking some time to join us for this wonderful event.

If your student is going to be late or absent, please call 331-228-2500 and press 1 to report the absence and the reason. Leave a message on the attendance line as soon as possible that morning or the night before. Thank you for your help in verifying absences from school.

Summer Strings Registration

You are invited to join the Lincoln Elementary School Family Resources Group! This group includes social, emotional, behavioral, and community resources for families. Resources are grouped by topic and include articles, videos, and websites. The code to join the Schoology Group is WP73-GH6V-Z3K97 .

If you need assistance joining the group, please contact Celina Wollak, Lincoln Social Worker/Student Support Interventionist at celina.wollak@d303.org.

Pick up and drop off procedures

The car line on the north side of the building is for drop off, please do not park your car and get out. If you feel like your child needs assistance getting out of their car seat or you need to get out during the process please park your car in the library lot and you can walk them over to the door.

When picking up for an appointment early

If your son or daughter needs to leave school mid-day for an appointment, please understand that we will not call your child down to the office until you are here. Time in school is very limited and every moment counts, once you are here we will call them and promptly have them come down to leave with you, but we do not want to call ahead because often they are missing valuable instruction waiting for the pick up due to unforeseen circumstances. Thank you for understanding.

District 303 would like to remind families to make sure the contact information you’ve provided is up-to-date. We want to ensure you’re getting timely alerts on important notifications.

Prior to the start of class, District 303 will send test messages through its mass communication system to the contact information you have on file (email, text and phone). This is the way the District and your child’s school(s) contact you when sending mass messages simultaneously.

Visit the Home Access Center website for information on how to view and edit your contact settings.

District 303 will send notifications to families through the ParentLink system by text message, phone call and email based on your settings. Parents/guardians can view and edit their contact settings through the Home Access Center.

To receive timely emergency communications, we strongly encourage families to enable text notifications. For most people, this is the fastest way to receive and view important messages. Here’s how:

• From the HAC main menu, select the “registration” tab to view your contact settings
• Select the “edit” button to change your contact settings
• To enable text message notifications, enter your cell phone number in the Cell/Text field
• Select the “save” button

Users can only update their child(ren) and personal contact information. You will not be able to make changes to another parent/guardian's contact information. For updates to emergency contact people, please reach out to the school directly.
