Lincoln Middle School
August 19, 2022
These first two days at school have been truly fantastic! It has been great to have your children back in the building as we kick off the 22-23 school year. As a new principal at Lincoln, I am so impressed with the students and how well they have conducted themselves. They have left a very positive first impression and I am looking forward to getting to know them as individuals throughout the year.
Below you will find a series of updates for you to reference. We will publish this newsletter each week and you can anticipate receiving it on Fridays moving forward. It's important to review the information within so you can stay informed about all that is happening at Lincoln.
I look forward to seeing all of you on Back to School Night and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Eric Larson
Parking Lot Guidelines
The parking spots on campus are not to be used for student drop-off or pick-up. The west lot is the bus drop-off and pick-up, therefore no parent traffic or parking is allowed. The east lot (Candota Street) is not available for parent parking. The east lot is available only for ride drop-off and pick-up. As parking for staff is limited, all available spots need to be open for staff as they arrive to work. Thank you for your understanding.
