In-Person Conference Reminders
CONFERENCE DATES: NOVEMBER 1, 4, AND 10, 2021
In-Person Conferences
- Please use hand sanitizer available upon entrance into the building.
- Please maintain 6 feet of distance from staff members.
- Masks are mandatory while inside the building. If a visitor refuses to wear a mask, we will ask that you reschedule your conference via zoom.
- Please notify your child's team to request a zoom conference if a parent has COVID symptoms or if a positive case exists within the home.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: LINCOLN'S LOST AND FOUND WILL BE DONATED NOVEMBER 10th.
Our Lost and Found will be overflowing by the end of each quarter. In the week or so following the close of a quarter, items in the Lost and Found are donated to charity. Every effort is made to return those items labelled with a student name. Announcements are made to remind students that items in the Lost and Found will be donated to charity.
SPECTATOR GUIDELINES FOR LINCOLN ATHLETIC EVENTS
The following guidelines are in place so that families can attend athletics events at Lincoln:
- All spectators are to be masked for the duration of their time in the building.
- Only family members of players/performers will be admitted as spectators.
- There is no "student section."
- Siblings of athletes must sit with their parents.
- Due to limited capacity in our stands, we want to prioritize our limited space for families of athletes.
- This policy is consistent with all schools in the MSMSAC athletic conference.
Adherence to these guidelines is mandatory so that Lincoln can participate in and host athletic events as a member of the Mid-Suburban Middle School Athletic Conference during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you for your cooperation.

ED FOUNDATION GRANT CYCLE OPEN!
The District 57 Education Foundation is a non-profit organization comprised of Mount Prospect community members whose mission is to raise money to fund grants in the areas of curriculum, wellness, and technology. Grant requests may be written and submitted by district teachers, staff, students, and parents. The grants enrich the educational experiences of all students, helping them to achieve at their highest potential. Funded grants allow teachers to have access to the resources they need to support teaching and learning at Westbrook, Lions Park, Fairview, and Lincoln schools.
Over the years, the Foundation has funded computers, iPads, ELMO projectors, Smartboards, musical instruments, art supplies, fitness equipment, and supplemental reading material - all to enrich our children’s educational experiences. We are currently in a new Grant Request Cycle. A description of the grant request submission process and form is located within the Grants section of our website at https://www.57edfoundation.org
Grant requests are due by 12/17/2021 to the Ed Foundation at d57edfoundationgrants@gmail.com
Parent community members who are interested in submitting a grant request should contact the school principal to which the grant will benefit. The Ed Foundation will review all requests at our February meeting. Please contact the Ed Foundation Grant team at d57edfoundationgrants@gmail.com with any questions. Thank you for your continuous support of the D57 Education Foundation.
