Happy New Year!
Welcome back to school as we start 2019! We had a great week of school as children returned to class after the holiday break. Students transitioned smoothly right back into their everyday school routine. We are looking forward to a successful 2nd half of the school year!
Please be sure to scroll through the entire NewsLinc as it is full of information!

The 5 Essentials Survey: Please, let us know how we are doing!
Dear Lincoln Parents,
The Illinois 5Essentials School Survey is now open for parents. 5Essentials rates how a school is performing in areas such as leadership, collaboration, family involvement, support, and instruction.
Now that 5Essentials is administered every year, it will be more useful for planning. Results from the survey will be used by both our school and the District 200 Board of Education to help guide our efforts.
The state will only provide a parent report for our school if at least twenty percent of our parents participate. We value your voice, so please take a few minutes to let us know how we are doing.
To take the short survey:
- Visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/
- Choose the Parent Survey.
- Enter “Dupage” for our county.
- Begin typing Lincoln until you see the correct address.

Dine-Out Night
Thank you to everyone who participated in the dine out night just before Winter Break at Noodles & Co. on Tues, Dec 18th. Together we raised $211.61!! Way to go!
Do you prefer the traditional ranch, honey mustard, or honey bbq sauce with your nuggets & tenders? Why not try buffalo blue or sweet sriracha? Don't want nuggets or tenders? PDQ also has several delicious salad & sandwich choices. Don't forget the hand-spun shakes or sips & sides.
Community Support tastes great! Join us Thursday, Jan 24th, 4-10pm at PDQ located at 167 Danada Square, for our next Dine-Out Night. When you show your paper/digital flier or tell the team member that you're supporting Lincoln, 20% of your Drive-thru or Dine-in purchase will be donated to school.
