PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Like it or not, it is December and winter weather has arrived. Students need to be prepared to be outside at lunch recess. The district guideline for going outside during recess is 15 degrees (with or without windchill factor). It is important that students have warm clothing to go outside. Because our lunch periods are split, recess only lasts between 15 and 20 minutes, so we aren't outside too long! Even if it's a bit chilly, the fresh air and the opportunity to take masks off for 15 minutes mid-day is great!

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM BAND DIRECTOR, KEVIN ACUNA
(Unfortunately, due to student spacing requirements, there will be no live audience for this event.)
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.
