A Note from Mrs. K.
In Person Learners
Beginning Wednesday, 1/20/21, In-Person learners will be allowed to concurrently learn by streaming into the classroom only if they need to quarantine for illness or exposure to COVID-19. When students flip flop between concurrent and in-person learning for reasons not related to COVID-19, it causes significant disruption within the classroom as well as the main office level where daily accountability for student attendance is a state requirement. For this reason, students who have requested in-person learning who choose to stay home for alternative reasons will not have access to concurrent instruction in 2021. Should your child be absent from in-person learning for a reason other than COVID-19 quarantine or exposure, as was the expectation prior to the pandemic, please contact your main office’s attendance line to report the absence.
Best,
Mary Beth Knoeppel
Lincoln Principal
Valentine's Day Plans 2021
CCSD15 will have a Wear Pink/Red Spirit Day on Friday 2/12/21. Teachers, just like for Halloween, will have simple games or activities in the classroom on that day. No cards will be passed out from home or treats will be shared. Again, the reason is to be equitable to all those students who are virtual and for health reasons related to COVID-19.
Virtual Students who are missing Health Record Requirements
Hello Lincoln Parents,
This a reminder that if your virtual student is in new to the school district, Kindergarten or in 6th grade they are required to have a current school year immunization record and a physical exam. If you have not submitted these records, please do so by the May 31, 2021. These health requirements are per Illinois State Law. Please be aware any missing health records will delay your child’s entrance into the next grade level in the 21-22 school year when we return to in-person learning. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school nurse at the information listed below.
Sincerely,
Dawn Plizga, RN, BSN, BS
Lincoln School Nurse

COLD WEATHER/RECESS GUIDELINES
Please take a moment and review the District 15 Cold Weather Recess Guidelines. This information was taken directly from our District 15 website: https://www.ccsd15.net/Page/67
Students generally go outside for recess every day, so they should be dressed appropriately. Exceptions are made only when a child brings a doctor's note excusing him/her from outdoor recess.
Staff members provide outdoor supervision at all times.
Indoor recess is determined based on the following guidelines:
- If the temperature outside, together with the wind chill, is below 0°F, all students will remain inside for the entire lunch hour.
- If the temperature outside, together with the wind chill, is between 0°-10°F, the preferred procedure is a rotation of 20 minutes for lunch, a 20-minute outdoor recess, and a 20-minute indoor recess. However, at the principal's discretion, students may be kept inside for the entire lunch hour.
- If the temperature outside, together with the wind chill, is above 10°F, students will have regular outdoor recess.
- Other considerations in which indoor recess is allowed include the condition of the playground and the presence of precipitation.
For indoor recess, students are supervised in their classrooms.
Please reach out to our front office if your family needs assistance with winter clothing.
