The Weekly Update #4

Welcome Back, Lincoln Elementary Families!

Welcome to the start of another wonderful school year at Bangor Lincoln Elementary! Whether your family is returning to familiar hallways or joining our school community for the very first time, we are so excited to have you here. Summer has been a great time to recharge, but there is nothing quite like the energy and joy of having our classrooms filled with students ready to learn, laugh, and grow together.

This year, our dedicated staff remains deeply committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child can thrive. We believe that a strong partnership between school and home is the foundation for student success. Together, we will continue to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and celebrate every milestone—big and small—along the way.

Please keep an eye out for upcoming details regarding daily schedules, school supply lists, and our back-to-school events in your email, on Facebook, and on our website. Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education and personal growth. Let’s work together to make this school year our best one yet!

Warmly,
Kellie Kanicki
Principal

Doors will open at 8:00 am.

Students are able to eat a free breakfast in the gym every day from 8:00-8:15 or go to their classroom.

Classroom instruction will begin at 8:15.

***To ensure the safety of our students and staff, parents are not allowed to walk their child to their rooms on the first day of school. Safety Patrol will assist students on where they need to go.

Teachers will be at their classroom doors to greet and assist their students.

Parent Drop off: Parents will enter the parking lot from Euclid Ave. Line up along the west side (Euclid Ave.) of the building only until 8:oo am when students can enter the building.

Parent Pick up: Parents will enter the parking lot from Euclid Ave. Students will dismiss on that side of the school or through the front doors and wait on the sidewalk with staff.

***If you park across the street or the parking lot, YOU MUST WALK your child across the parking lot. We do not want students crossing in between cars in the parking lot alone.

***Families are not allowed to park in the pick up line. If they need to park it must be in a parking space. Cars that park in the pick-up line will be asked to relocate immediately.

We want to remind all families that our school campus is a designated Tobacco-Free Zone.

This includes all forms of tobacco products and vaping devices, regardless of age or location on school property.

For the health and safety of our students, staff, and visitors, tobacco and vape use is not permitted at any time, including during school events, pick-up/drop-off, and after-school activities.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a clean and healthy environment for everyone.

As we work together to maintain a focused and respectful learning environment, we ask for your support with the following reminders:

• Toys, Fidgets, Squishies, and Non-School Items: Students should not bring toys or other non-school-related items to school. These can be distracting and are not permitted during the school day.

• Cell Phones: Per our school handbook, students are not allowed to use or carry cell phones during school hours. Phones must remain at home or turned off and stored in backpacks if absolutely necessary.

• Student Attire: Clothing that shows the midriff is not permitted. Please help ensure your child’s attire is school-appropriate each day. Purses and cross-body bags are not allowed during the school day. Students should only bring a backpack to carry necessary school materials. Shorts must also be an appropriate length for school.

• Hats: Hats are not allowed inside the school building unless it is for a designated spirit day or special event. Students may not wear their hoods up during school.

We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a positive and productive school environment.
