Lincoln-Erdman News
December 2018
Principal's Message
We recently received our Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Report Card and scored an 84.3/100 which puts us in the Significantly Exceeds Expectations category (the highest category). Lincoln-Erdman continues to do a great job of looking for ways to meet the diverse needs of our students. I am thankful to the wonderful students, staff, and parents at Lincoln-Erdman who help make our school so successful!
The state report card looks at Student Achievement in math and reading based on the Forward Exam, School Growth in math and reading, Closing Gaps (how well we meet the needs of diverse learners), and On-Track/Postsecondary Readiness. More information will be presented at our January PTO meeting.

School History Cont.
In the Autumn of 1932, there were 18 students in the upper-grade room and 24 in the primary room. The Sheboygan Country Supervising Teacher noted on her visit, that students received strong teaching in the area of arithmetic.
At that time, families who lived 2 or more miles from the school were reimbursed 30 cents per day for their first child, 20 cents for the second, and 10 cents for all other children to transport them to school.
