Lincoln Elementary Newsletter
August 2026
Dear Lincoln Families,
WE ARE BACK! The summer quiet in our building is officially over, and we could not be more excited to welcome our students and families back for the 2026–2027 school year! Whether you are returning to Lincoln or joining our community for the very first time, we are thrilled to have you here.
Our teachers and staff have been hard at work getting classrooms ready, planning amazing lessons, and preparing for a fantastic year ahead. As we jump in, we are excited to live out the Warrior Way together every day: #BeHere #BeInvolved #BeCommitted #BeKind!
We are so grateful for your partnership and energy. Let’s make this the best year yet!
Together in learning,
Kathy Schiefer, Ed. D.
Principal

Lunch with Family: We love welcoming families to join their students for lunch! To help our students establish routines and learn lunchroom expectations, we ask that families wait until September to begin lunch visits. We will also be introducing a new lunch visitor sign-up process, and additional information will be shared soon. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure a smooth start to the school year!
End of Day Procedures: If you need to make a change to your child’s dismissal arrangements, please be sure to notify the office no later than 2:30 PM. Please be sure to contact the office directly with the change and not message your child’s teacher through Seesaw. If your child is a regular car rider on specific days each week, please write one note or email the office stating which days this will occur and list who will be picking him/her up. Also, If you are picking up your child, please keep them close for safety, as traffic is busy at this time. We also ask that students stay off the trees and mulch so our grounds can stay looking beautiful—thank you!
Is your student ready to begin the 2025-27 school year? Please read through the Health Room Updates to ensure your student(s) has met all of the mandatory requirements for the health office. Please feel free to reach out to me with any health related questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Mrs. Sites
