Lincoln Early Learning Center

To help you and your child prepare for a successful school year, we encourage you to review the FSD79 Family Handbook 2025-2026, which outlines important school expectations, policies, and procedures.

Parents and guardians who DO NOT want their child’s photograph and/or student work published need to complete this form and return it to their school's front office within your student’s first 5 days of school attendance. A letter submitted from the previous year will not carry over.

*The Tri-District classroom follows the Hawthorn School calendar. All other Fremont preschool students follow the calendar below.

AM Session: 8:00-10:30 a.m.

PM Session: 12:15-2:45 p.m.

*The Tri-District classroom also follows these hours.

Please send your students with a full size backpack and a change of clothes (including socks, shoes, and underwear) to be kept here at school.

Teacher assignments are now able to be seen by logging into your TeacherEase account. Go to https://www.teacherease.com/, use your email address as your user id and enter your password. If you do not know your password, click “forgot password” and a link will be sent to setup your password. Once in your account, please click on the "Academics" tab and click "Classes" to view your teacher and session assignment.

Strong attendance habits begin on day one. When students are here consistently and on time, they benefit from direct instruction, collaboration with peers, and meaningful relationships with teachers. Please help us by encouraging your child to be present and ready to learn each day—every day truly counts.

School office hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. If your child will be absent from school, please let us know by calling the office at 847-949-2720 or by sending an email to lanuzaa@hawthorn73.org or dgarcia@d75.org. Please include any symptoms your child may be experiencing if they are absent because of an illness.

Please review the Parent Pick Up and Drop off procedures before the start of the school year. These procedures are important for the safety of students, staff, and families.

Change in Dismissal

Please contact América Lanuza (lanuzaa@hawthorn73.org) or Danielle Garcia (dgarcia@d75.org) at the Lincoln Front Office(847-949-2720) if there are any end of day changes throughout the school year. Teachers may not always be able to pick up their phone or check email throughout the day, so it would be best to call the front office with any changes. América and Danielle will relay any changes to the classroom teacher after you contact them. Please contact the main office by 10:00 a.m for the morning session and 2:00 pm for the afternoon session for any changes in regards to a child's dismissal procedures.
