Safety and Security a note from Mrs. Bethune
Your child(ren) are our top priority. Their safety is of our upmost importance. Please know that we follow the Standard Response Protocol that Lincoln Public School follows. The staff have been trained and we practice at a school on a daily basis. The different stages of the protocol are included in the picture below. I encourage you to look these over and talk about them with your children. They know these words as we use them often! We have cameras on every door and all doors to the school remained lock during the school day including the doors from the church. We will do everything we can to keep safe and protect those that you trust to us during the school day. As the use of social media for posting threats against schools seems to be increasing, we are asking parents of students who have social media accounts to talk to their children about responsible use of social media. It is good practice to check your child’s social media account often. If you or your child(ren) see anything on social media that is a concern immediately report it. Thank you for helping us keep our school a safe and happy place!
News From Mrs. Bethune:
Hello all,
Thank you all for your kind words and support this week. It is definitely not an easy decision for me and I am so thankful for all of you and the opportunity to serve you and your family. St. Patrick’s is an amazing school with the best staff and families. I will be forever grateful for my time here spent with all of you. I look forward to being part of this community for years to come!
The week of March 5th to 9th is our Iowa Basic Assessment Testing. The students in grades 3rd through 8th grade will be taking the assessments throughout the week. It is very important that your child eats a good breakfast and gets a good night of sleep during this week. We talk to the students about the importance of doing your best. These results help us identify areas of curriculum that need to be updated and modified. It also helps us know the strengths of students and their ability levels. The assessment information will be passed on to the parents after the results are calculated and turned into the school.
Please add March 19th to your calendars. Bishop Conley will be at school to say the 8:15am Mass on this day. We will then have donuts in the gym to celebrate his birthdayand St. Patrick’s Day. In the afternoon, we will have St. Patrick day Olympics for the students. This will also be a St. Patrick’s SPIRIT DAY!
Have a great weekend!
God Bless,
Mrs. Leah Bethune
