For the second year in a row, Lincoln Park Middle School is the recipient of Minnesota Sustaining Exemplar Schools Recognition.
The award recognizes schools that are doing outstanding work to improve school climate; that have completed Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports implementation and are continuing to achieve positive student outcomes. Criteria are based on effective implementation of national PBIS standards.
Schools must document the work of their leadership team and provide a system measuring effort, fidelity and outcomes. They must show data analysis and action planning, sustainability efforts and giving back at the local, state or national level.
This is no easy task. It’s not one and done. It requires thoughtful planning, staff development and implementation - not just one day but every day.
We're proud of the work being done at Lincoln Park. Congratulations to teachers, staff and administration; we appreciate all you do to promote safe, welcoming environments in our schools.
Following three years of rigorous evaluations, observations, in-servicing and mentoring, teachers and administrators who meet district standards and expectations are granted tenure. This year’s newly tenured teachers were presented to the School Board and received formal recognition at the November 20 Annual Meeting.

Duluth East Alliance Wins Pre-Season Competition
The Duluth East Daredevils 2512 robotics team and alliance partners Nightcrawlers 2052 and Green Machine 1816 took home the Minne-Mini Championship Title with a winning score of 369!
The Minne-Mini was held in Prior Lake, MN and included more than 30 teams. This is an off-season competition where teams compete with last year’s robot and play last year’s FRC game. The event gives new team members a real view and feel of a FIRST robotics competition and helps refuel all FIRST teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
