All students will receive a Lincoln Middle School shirt complimentary of the Washington School PTO! We’d love for every student to have one in their preferred size. Please order a Lincoln shirt in your child's preferred size by Monday, April 21, 2025. Any size order not received by the cut-off, will default to a Youth XL shirt.

Sixth Grade Info Night at Lincoln

We are excited for our current fifth-grade students to soon become part of the Lincoln family. This brief informational night for parents is a great opportunity to hear about our school and to prepare for a smooth transition into middle school. The event will take place on Thursday, April 17th from 6:00– 7:15 PM. Our agenda will include information regarding the transition process, academic placement, and elective programs.


In addition, there will be a short introduction to our sixth grade teacher teams and support personnel. They will be available for a Q&A at the end of the formal presentation. We are hopeful that this, along with communications that will be coming out over the months ahead, will leave you and your student excited and prepared for the upcoming school year. We look forward to seeing you then!


Date: Thursday, April 17
Time: 6:00-7:15
Where: Lincoln Gym

NOTE: Students will be receiving this same information when we visit the individual fifth-grade homerooms that week. Their attendance is not required.
