Lincoln Trail Guide

Hello Lincoln Families,

Please fill out the form below if you are interested in Badger U Clubs. Clubs start on Monday, August 24th. We will be offering a morning "Rise and Shine" club and two after school clubs. A snack will be provided before the first club, but students are welcome to bring their own. There will be a bus after clubs at 4:25 pm. If your child will be riding the bus after clubs, please call transportation to get the route number and let us know. PICK UP TIME IS 4:10 PM. There will not be after school clubs on Fridays.

In order to attend an enrichment club, your child must attend an academic club the same day.

Club sign-up will be on a first come basis and each Google Form will be time stamped once submitted. Completing this form does not guarantee your child a spot in a particular club, but we will try our best to accommodate everyone.

We need your help! Our school will benefit tremendously by having all families complete the National School Lunch Program application. Many of our federal tax dollars do not come back to PUSD, and to Lincoln Elementary, based on under-reporting of the needs in our community.

PUSD and Lincoln participate in the National School Lunch Program, and offer breakfast and lunch to students every school day. Free or reduced-cost meals are available to qualifying families. The application process is safe, confidential, and simple. We encourage you to apply today because your school benefits!

Federal grant funds can provide additional programs and services in our schools. Eligibility for both federal and many privately-funded grants are determined in large measure by the number of our students who qualify for free or reduced meals. These programs can enhance our academic and after-school offerings. We may be able to offer Title I reading and math interventions, free after-school programs, and much more.

Even if your student does not take advantage of free or reduced-cost lunches at school, funding will still be awarded to Lincoln based on our number of eligible families.

Hello Lincoln Families,

My name is Kayla Rangel, and I am honored and excited to return to Lincoln Elementary as the new principal and to serve this incredible school community in this new role. I look forward to partnering with our dedicated staff, students, and families to continue the proud traditions that make Lincoln such a special place.

Originally from Vail, Arizona, my husband and I moved to Prescott in 2023 to be closer to my sister and her family. When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, and taking advantage of Prescott's beautiful trails and cooler weather.

Lincoln has a rich history as Arizona's oldest continuously operating school, and I am honored to be part of its legacy. As we begin another exciting school year, our focus remains on meeting the unique needs of every student while providing a safe, caring environment where all children can thrive. Together, we will continue to foster high expectations, celebrate Lincoln's strong sense of family and tradition, and ensure every student has the opportunity to reach their greatest potential. I am excited to welcome you to Lincoln—"Everybody's Hometown School"—and look forward to a wonderful year of learning and growth together.
