Dear Lincoln Early Learning Center Families,
Happy Friday! I wanted to take a moment to update you on some important recent events and what’s coming up for our students.
This week, our students participated in their first severe weather drill. The children did an excellent job, showing how well they’ve learned the safety procedures. These drills are an important part of ensuring that everyone is prepared in case of an emergency. Additionally, Hawthorn students completed their bus evacuation drill this week, and I’m pleased to share that our preschoolers handled it with confidence! For Mundelein and Fremont families, your child will participate in their bus evacuation drill next week, and we know they’ll do just as well.
We are also looking ahead to our Parent-Teacher Conferences, which will be held at the end of October for our Mundelein families and before Thanksgiving for our Fremont, Hawthorn, and Tri-District classroom families. These conferences will be an opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and celebrate their growth. More information will be shared soon about scheduling your conference time.
In addition, I’m excited to share that we will be welcoming Smile Illinois, the in-school dentist, to Lincoln for an upcoming visit. This service provides an excellent opportunity for students to receive dental care right here at school. Sign up online NOW at www.myschooldentist.com or scan the bar code below for more information.
As always, I want to remind everyone of our school theme, "Proud to ROAR Together." Whether it’s in the classroom, during our drills, or working together to support your child’s development, I’m so proud of the way our school community comes together to ensure success for all students.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement!
Warm regards,
Katie O’Brien
