Lincoln Crossing Colt Connection
August 6, 2019 - FAQs for the 2019-20 Year
Mrs. Hladun's Tidings
The biggest thank you to our custodial team (Rob and Arty) who worked tirelessly all summer to clean classrooms, repair items, and prepare our campus to welcome you back. We hosted STAR summer camps for much of the summer, plus we hosted/will host numerous district trainings and city summer camps - our custodial team was busy busy busy! Help us help them feel the love!
In addition, our office team has been working hard prep for the new year - processing new registrations, helping families navigate the overflow situation, and organizing materials and class lists. Kudos and hats off to Pam, Tricia, Michelle & Katy!
Our teachers have been enjoying a much deserved break, but were also busy getting ready for the new year. Attending conferences, taking classes, participating in workshops, and curriculum planning was top on many of our teachers' lists...many of them are already showing up to campus to prepare for an amazing year. Three cheers for our staff team!
We are very excited to welcome some new teachers to our campus and we'll have a few new campus supervisors joining us this fall too (those names are TBA). Please help me in extending a warm welcome to our new teachers:
- AM TK - Mrs. Scarbrough
- PM TK - Mrs. Larsen
- 2nd Grade - Mrs. Noyes (moved from TK!)
- 4th Grade - Ms. Tomasello
- 4/5 Combo - Ms. Reynolds
The 2019-20 school year will be amazing. We have so much to look forward to as we learn and grow as Colts! We can't wait to welcome you back to campus next week!
Please watch for another Colt Connection on Monday, 8/12 with final reminders about the first day/weeks of school.
