Welcome, Mr. Beardsley! #celebrate379

For the past two days, USD 379 teachers, paras, aides, secretaries, and custodians have been involved in the district-wide implementation of The Leader in Me, a whole-school transformation process developed by FranklinCovey Education.
The program has been used at 379 schools in the past, but it has never been a full district initiative until now. It focuses on teaching social-emotional and leadership skills, including communication, goal setting, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. This program has shown the ability to:
1. Increase Student Leadership & Academic Performance: Studies show that Leader in Me schools show increased student leadership and academic performance, including significant gains in subjects like ELA and math.
2. Improve School Culture: The program promotes a positive school environment by emphasizing respect, collaboration, and student voice, leading to higher teacher satisfaction, fewer discipline incidents, and better student attendance.
3. Empower Educators & Families: Leader in Me also equips educators with transformational leadership skills and provides resources to involve families in their children's learning.
379 families will see much more information in the coming months with this program. We are excited to see how it helps our students, staff, and schools! #celebrate379

Mrs. Affolter’s Teaching as a Career class has been teaching Ms. Christa's preschool kids about gravity, push/pull, ramps, measuring and more this week. It's another great example of how our older students are mentors to those just beginning their educational journey! #celebrate379






It was Movin' On Up Day for the Lincoln 3rd graders! Each class got to ask questions to a panel of 4th graders and see the building. They should be ready to go next fall! #celebrate379




Today is School Nurse Appreciation Day. We have three of the best in USD 379! Most people have no idea just how busy they are each day helping our kids. They are appreciated! #celebrate379

Mr. Kimmi spent his morning bringing around a snack and drink cart to the amazing staff at Lincoln to say thank you during Teacher Appreciation Week! #celebrate379

Most students at Lincoln are in the middle of end-of-year testing. This includes Mrs. Thomas' 2nd graders, who were focusing on the iReady math spring assessment. These assessments are used to gauge growth throughout the year and from year to year, and also to help your student's next teacher know where your child is in their learning process. #celebrate379
Last week, Garfield Para Ashlee Baker-Brown stopped in to Mrs. Christa's Pre-K classroom to share her passion for pants and botany. She shared about some of her own plants, plant life, plant health, propagation, and how plants help provide us with clean air! #celebrate379





USD 379 transportation routes will be 10 to 15 minutes behind today (April 25th) . We apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you to our amazing secretaries in our district! #celebrate379

Even though we are now in the last month of the school year, learning is still happening at LES! Ms. Brownell's students spent their Monday morning working on spelling words with specific prefixes and suffixes. They were also catching up on possessive pronouns. Here's to finishing the year strong! #celebrate379
Congratulations Mr. Bent! #celebrate379
