Happy Fall Lincoln Park Families,
We are off to a phenomenal start of the school year. Hard to believe we have completed 19 school days together already. As we look forward to October, please find the following information helpful.
Good News:
Today, we celebrated positive behaviors in the first CREW assembly of this school year. Students were recognized for their positive behaviors in and out of the classroom. As a way to celebrate the first successful month of school, classes will enjoy an extra recess next week.
Information:
October Breakfast and Lunch Menus found here.
Click here for Lincoln Park Dates “At A Glance.”
Our growth mindset for the month of October is “My brain can grow”. Teachers will encourage students to practice and use effort to help their learning process.
General Reminders:
Call the office to report student absences each day your child will be out.
If you see a red flag hanging near the front office entrance (visible from the upper elementary traffic loop) and in the mid-point in the lower elementary traffic loop, this indicates that students should come directly into the building, no earlier than 8:10, instead of waiting in their lines on the playground. Staff will be on hand to direct students on these days.
School Hours Reminder:
Our attendance goal is to have students arrive on time and remain all day when students are feeling well enough for school.
Ideal times are between 8:10 - 8:23 for drop off. If your child is eating breakfast at school, 8:10 is the best time for drop off to ensure they have time to eat prior to the start of the day.
Please note that students may not arrive at school or be dropped off prior to 8:10. Staff members will be present at 8:10 to begin welcoming students out of their cars.
Please avoid picking up your student early at the end of the day unless necessary for an appointment. We have had a large number of students leaving early each day near dismissal time. These interruptions to the classroom should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Parent Teacher Conferences:
We are beginning to plan for this year’s Parent Teacher Conferences.
You should receive communication from your student’s teacher with specific sign up opportunities today.
100% participation is the goal, so please sign up as soon as your teacher releases their individual times.
PTO News/Walk-A-Thon:
Our Walk-A-Thon is scheduled for Friday, October 6.
Money donations are due Monday, October 2.
Change Wars will be Oct. 2-6. The class bringing in the most change will earn an opportunity to have donuts with a NSPD officer.

Halloween:

This will be a celebration for students, staff, and parents/guardians.

All students are able to wear costumes to school for the day. We encourage parents to simplify costumes that will allow students to accomplish academic tasks throughout the day.
