Lincoln HOPE Program Info
Greetings Howard!
As we enter the third week of school, I will be starting to contact families and pulling students for mental health services. I will reach out to you to coordinate this process and keep you informed about my timeline, as I will need to stagger beginning my work with the students. If you have a particular question about a particular student's timeline, please feel free to reach out to me.
When I'm not supporting a classroom, you can find me in the former nurse's office. Or, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My phone number is 510-919-6450 and my e-mail address is reybyrne@lincolnfamilies.org
See you at school!
