Welcome Back Lincoln Park Families,
It was great to see so many of you at Open House! School begins in just a few short days, on Tuesday, September 5. We were excited to have students enter our doors and fill our rooms with smiles, laughter, and learning. The whole Lincoln Park CREW is excited to be back together once again!
Good News:
We are happy to welcome some new additions to our staff:
Erica Wetmore has transferred from Ross Park to join our kindergarten team.
Julia Garza is our new School Social Worker.
Arianna Davros and Alyson Johnson joined our paraprofessional staff.
Jared Kusz and Ginger Rodriguez have joined our noon monitor staff.
Information:
School hours this year:
Arrive between 8:10 and 8:20 and enter by 8:25 with the help of LP staff members. Students may not be dropped off prior to 8:10 each morning.
Monday dismissal is 2:00.
Tuesday through Friday dismissal is 3:35.
Breakfast and lunch are both free to all students all year long. Students electing to eat breakfast will enter the cafeteria from the playground, so all students are dropped off in their normal loops and walk to the playground, as always. September Breakfast and Lunch Menus linked here.

Office Family Emails will be sent the last Friday of each month for the remainder of the year.
Parents wishing to help in the classroom or on field trips this school year should complete the yearly required ICHAT form and return it to the office with your photo ID.
General Reminders:
Flip flops are not desired footwear for school. Multiple students get injured toes at school, trip while running on the playground, or have to call home for different shoes when they break. Please avoid sending your child to school wearing flip flops.
It is time to update your emergency contact information and fill out the annual forms online, through the Parent Portal. You can access the Parent Portal at www.monashores.net and by clicking the parent portal tab under the picture on the right hand side of the screen..
Arrival/Dismissal Reminders:
Please remain in cars in the drop off areas and keep the traffic moving as safely as possible.
Be sure students only exit and load on the passenger side, closest to the sidewalk.
Be sure to pull as far forward as possible in the yellow “drop and load zone” during arrival and dismissal.
Remember that students will find you at dismissal, you should not stop where you see your child, but should pull as far forward as possible to ease traffic congestion. Your child will walk to where you stop and load there. Once your child unloads in the morning, or loads in the afternoon, you may cautiously pull into the left lane to exit the load zone if the cars in front of you aren’t moving.
Our updated Traffic Map will guide your arrival and dismissal routine each day.
Kindergarten News:
Remember Kindergarten begins one hour late on the first day of school, at 9:30.
Kindergarten Parents are invited to join the PTO in the cafeteria after drop off on the first day at the annual, “Boo Hoo Breakfast.” Please park and enter through the main office. You will need your photo ID to enter the building.
