Abraham Lincoln Elementary

A note from Mrs Tidd....

Another successful week at Abraham Lincoln!

Students are getting in the groove of routines and expectations (even if we did have to practice walking in the halls without talking a couple extra times), we have our own students back on announcements, our first graders know how to get to their own classes and I listened to a class of fifth graders talking about how confident they are with multiplication - our teacher hearts are full!

The office team continued making the rounds around the 4th grade rooms this week to talk about bullying. We want to be sure we know what bullying is, how to stop it, and how to report it. If you have a fourth or fifth grader, check with your students to see if they can tell you the three characteristics of bullying (Repeated, Intentional, and Power Imbalance) and what we should do if we see it happening. Being kind may not always be the easy choice if others are being mean, but it is always the right choice.

Thanks for sharing your students with us!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs. Tidd

¡Otra semana llena de éxitos en Abraham Lincoln!

Los alumnos se están acostumbrando a las rutinas y a las expectativas (aunque hayamos tenido que practicar un par de veces más cómo caminar por los pasillos sin hablar); nuestros propios alumnos vuelven a encargarse de los anuncios diarios en la escuela, los de 1.º ya saben cómo llegar a sus salones y he escuchado a una clase de 5.º hablar de lo seguro que se sienten con las multiplicaciones: ¡nuestros corazones de profesores están llenos de alegría!

El equipo de directores ha seguido visitando las salones de 4.º de primaria esta semana para hablar sobre el acoso escolar. Queremos asegurarnos de que sabemos qué es el bullying escolar, cómo detenerlo y cómo denunciarlo. Si tenéis hijos en 4.º o 5.º de primaria, pregúntales si saben deciros las tres características del bullying escolar (repetido, intencionado y desequilibrio de poder) y qué debemos hacer si lo vemos ocurrir. Ser amable puede que no siempre sea la opción más fácil si los demás se comportan de forma desagradable, pero siempre es la opción correcta.

¡Gracias por compartir a tus hijos con nosotros!

Que pasen un fin de semana maravilloso,

Sra. Tidd

Panorama Survey

Around August 24th, our students will be taking the Panorama survey in their classrooms. Students in grades K-2 will be answering the Panorama survey with the help of a classroom teacher, while students in grades 3-5 will answer questions on their own. The survey provides our district with valuable information that will help us better meet the needs of our students. If you would like your student to opt out of the survey, please contact Ms. Hickman, the school social worker, by this Wednesday, August 19th at 317-789-3829 or email her at ahickman@perryschools.org. You will find more information in the letters linked below!

Important ALE information

Important Reminders

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.
