Lincoln Lions Family Newsletter

Dear Lincoln Families,

The last two weeks have been busy here at school. Please check out the photos below of some classroom learning highlights. Last week chronic attendance letters were sent via email to families whose child currently has less than 90% attendance. This includes unexcused and excused absences. If you have questions or concerns, contact our child accounting secretary, Ms. Hall at hallad@kalamazoopublicschools.net or 269-337-0640.

Respectfully,

Mrs. Roberts 🤎

Lincoln Principal

100% Conference Participation is the Goal

Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 3rd-5th, 3:30-7:30 pm. Please check your child's backpack for conference request forms. Return these as soon as possible so that teachers can schedule your conference time. This is an opportunity for teachers to discuss:

Highlights & Celebrations of what your child does well
Data - current progress in academic and behavior goals
Student Improvement Plans
FastBridge Assessment Reports
4th & 5th Grade M-STEP Parent Reports
Student-Parent-Teacher Compacts

It is important that we give our children plenty of opportunities to engage in speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities. Here is an activity you can do with your child at home this week.

1. LISTEN to the read-aloud, A Very Big Fall, by clicking the Youtube video below.

2. Have a conversation with your child about how the season and leaves are beginning to change and also how they are changing as they are settling more into school.

3. WRITE or DRAW a Fall Picture that includes lots of leaves that have changed colors. When drawing, ask them to include details, color, and to explain to you what's happening in the picture!
