Welcome Back Lincoln Park Families,
The whole Lincoln Park CREW is excited to be back together once again! This is the first of the monthly emails sent in hopes of keeping you in the loop at the beginning of each new month. As September approaches, please find the following information helpful:
Good News:
It was great to see so many of you at Open House!
We have successfully completed the first two ½ days of the 26-27 school year!
Information:
The Growth Mindset focus for September is “We can do hard things”. Teachers and students will discuss persevering through tough situations.
School hours:
Arrive between 8:10 and 8:20 in your student’s drop off loop. Students may not be dropped off prior to 8:10 each morning.
This allows your student to enter by 8:25 with the guidance of LP staff members.
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 are linked here.
Click here to view the school calendar for the 26-27 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. ICHAT Form 26-27
Playground use:
LP playground is closed before and during school hours to visitors for safety reasons.
As a reminder, LP playground is reserved for Sailor Care students after school until 6PM.
General Reminders:
Flip flops are not desired footwear for school. Multiple students get injured 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.
Little Lending Library:
This wonderful Little Lending Library is a memorial to Maria Conrad, a former Lincoln Park kindergartner who passed away in 2016.
Please follow the guidelines below:
You may “trade” as many books as you like.
Please do not “take” more than 3 at a time.
Donations can be made directly to the library itself.
