Lincoln Lions Family Newsletter

Dear Lincoln Families,

• Last week, our students will begin Winter Assessments in their classrooms. They are testing in Math and Reading to measure their growth from the beginning of the school year until now.

• Reminder that this Wednesday, December 11th is an early release day. Students will dismiss at 11:24 AM. CIS After-school Program will be in session.

• Encourage 20 minutes of reading at home each night for your child independently or with someone else. 20 minutes a day is the Lion Way to build strong reading muscles.

Respectfully,

Principal Dionna Roberts
