3rd Grade Parents are invited to our annual 3rd grade Legacy Wall Reveal! This usually takes place earlier in the year, but like everything else in our world, the tiles took longer than normal to be delivered. Here is the plan:
WHEN: Wednesday, May 4, 1:15 pm
WHERE: Lincoln Elementary Cafeteria (enter through the front doors of the school; a volunteer badge is NOT required)
WHAT: We will be revealing the tiles the 3rd graders created in Ms. Sorensen's art class. Their goal: Because they are leaving in a few weeks, she challenged them to create something that will leave their legacy behind after they are gone. There will be a short revealing ceremony, and we will then have ice cream sundaes, courtesy of our Lincoln P.E.P.
Everyone is invited to attend, but we also know this is during the middle of the work day. We will livestream the event on our LES Facebook page, and it will be archived for future viewing.
Lincoln Elementary is hiring a 12 month custodian. Hours are 12:00-8:30 p.m., but summer hours are flexible. Questions? Call 632-2156 and ask for Mr. Weller. Interested? Go here to apply.

Did you donate to the #lincoln379 PEP this year? If so, part of your $ went to updating our Leveled Readers room. This room provides sets of books at various reading levels to our teachers so they can have small reading groups throughout their classrooms. Thank you PEP! #usd379

Just a reminder...
Kindergarten Roundup is Thursday, April 28!
See you then!

Here are some changes we have made to our current policy concerning visitors entering our building:
Starting Feb. 11, parents or other visitors will be allowed into the building to:
1. Attend Friday Rise & Shine assemblies (please sit on the chairs along the west side)
2. Eat lunch with your child (we will have a designated table for you to sit with your child)
Our guidelines for volunteers in the classroom are still the same. You can help if:
1. Your child's teacher has reached out asking for help in some fashion
AND
2. You have a volunteer badge
Otherwise we are still not allowing parents/visitors into the classrooms.
We are happy to announce these changes! See you soon!
Next week is National School Counselor Week! Let's celebrate Ms. Coughlin with a Spirit Week!
