Dear Lincoln Families,
Welcome to November!
This week we hope to connect with all of you for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Conferences are being held Monday, November 3rd-Wednesday November 5th, 3:30-7:30 pm. Please email your child's teachers or call to speak with our secretaries if you are unsure of your scheduled day or time.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are 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
Please check out the SAVE THE DATES SECTION for upcoming half days, days off, and special events. We don't want you to miss a thing!
Be sure that we have updated contact information for you in Powerschool so that you receive accurate information and communication from our staff. Contact information includes phone numbers, home and email addresses, and emergency contacts. This can be done in person or over the phone by calling 269-337-0640 to reach our office secretaries.
Thank you for working with us in support of your child's education.

Math Family Carnival
The WMU Math Department invites you to the Kalamazoo Math Carnival, an event with a range of fun and engaging activities meant to appeal to students in grades K-8 and their families and caregivers. Parents, older siblings, younger siblings, other family members, and caregivers are invited. It is not a drop-off event. The carnival will be held at Sangren Hall on the WMU campus on Saturday November 8 from 3 to 5 pm. Onsite parking for the event is available outside of Sangren Hall and free of charge. Free snacks will be provided! Pre-registration is encouraged so that we can accurately plan for snacks and materials.
LIMITED QUANTITY TICKETS FOR LINCOLN ELEMENTARY FAMILIES!
In support of the ongoing partnership between Lincoln and Kalamazoo Choral Arts (producer of Vamos! last weekend), we offer a limited quantity of deeply discounted tickets for Holidays with KCA on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 4pm at Kalamazoo College.
