From the Principal's Office
Dear Lincoln Families,
In error, listed our next PTO Meeting as this week. Please disregard. Please join us for the next Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Meeting on October 27th, 5:30-6:30 pm to learn more about all the wonderful opportunities available here at Lincoln and ways you can become more involved.
We have Parent Teacher Conferences coming up next month where we will be discussing your child's progress so far. Conference Days will be Tuesday, November 3rd 3:30-7:30 and Thursday, November 5th 11:30-7:30. We hope to meet with all families for 100% participation. We encourage you to ask questions and want to offer tools and strategies to assist with homeowrk and at-home practice in reading and math. Please remember to send your conference slip back with your preferences of day and time.
We recognized more ROAR Students of the Week on October 16th. If your student came home wearing a ribbon it was because their teacher nominated them for being leaders in the classroom by modeling the ROAR expectations of being Responsible, On-Task, Always Caring, and Respectful! Please see the graphic below for all student names.
If you have any questions or concerns I can always be reached via email or you can call the main office to schedule an in-person appointment. I am looking forward to an intentionally impactful week with your children.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Roberts
🤎Lincoln Principal

Calling Coaches!
As part of Girls on the Run of Greater Kalamazoo, 3 rd -5 th grade girls meet after school two days per week for 90 minutes led by volunteer coaches. Coaches will lead their teams through fun and dynamic lessons intended to develop critical social-emotional life skills, while creatively integrating running and other physical activity. You do not have to be a runner, quit your job, or have a kid on the team.
Compassion and commitment are all you need to make a difference! As a volunteer coach, you’ll help girls become more confident, build healthy habits, and positively impact their community! Share your unique skills this season as a role model to those who need it most.
Register as a volunteer Coach for our site here (opens
