Bear Bulletin

Last week, I introduced our three campus goals for this year as part of a newsletter series. This week, I'd like to focus in on one that is very timely. One of our goals this year is to continue strengthening the partnership between school and home. We are working toward having 40% or more of our students represented at each family engagement event and 90% or greater family participation in both our fall and spring parent conferences.

We are already off to a wonderful start! 91% of our families participated in Meet the Teacher, more than 350 people joined us for our Grandparents’ Day Breakfast, and we were excited to welcome several new faces at our recent Volunteer Social. Thank you for showing up, connecting with us, and being such an important part of our school community!

Research supports what we see in our schools: strong, meaningful partnerships between families and educators can positively influence student learning, attendance, behavior, and overall school success.

Our next opportunity to connect is our Student Learning Showcase this Thursday night 5:00-6:30 p.m.. This is a come-and-go event. We hope you’ll join us as our students share their learning and celebrate their growth. Every family that participates helps us build a stronger school community—and, most importantly, lets our students know that we are all on the same team.

Together, we can make a difference for every student!

🌟 A Special Shout-Out to Our Amazing Parents! 🌟

As part of our efforts to increase parent partnership, each month, every grade level will have a newsletter to share what our students are learning in class and how you can help at home. You should receive a paper copy in your child's Tuesday folders the first Tuesday each month, a digital copy via Class Dojo, and find it in the campus newsletter at the beginning of each month.

• Pre-K
• Kindergarten
• 1st Grade
• 2nd Grade
• 3rd Grade
• 4th Grade
• 5th Grade
• CARES
• Specials (link coming soon)

School Hours

• Doors open at 7:50, and students can go to breakfast in the cafeteria or to their classrooms.
• The tardy bell rings at 8:15. This is when students should be seated and ready to learn with their backpacks already put away.
• The day ends at 3:40.

Deliveries for Students

• If you have something, such as a forgotten lunch kit, water bottle, or birthday cupcakes, that needs to be delivered to your child or his/her classroom, please make sure it is dropped off at the front office by 10:00 a.m. Staff are unable to leave the front office to make deliveries after this time.

Changes in Transportation

• Changes in transportation need to be made prior to 2:00 in order to allow time for the messages to be communicated with the appropriate staff member. To request a change of transportation, either:

1. Send a note with your child,
2. Email LincolnElementaryTransit@misd.org with the note and a copy of your driver's license, or
3. Come to the school with a copy of your driver's license.

• Please double check the spelling of the transportation change email address when you send in a change.**

• When you email the transportation address, you should receive a confirmation reply.
