Our Mission:
COVID Update
Our school district sent out a newsletter on January 4th. Please be sure you've read it and are up to date on our COVID protocols. One change is that we no longer will be requiring the self-certification lanyards that are reviewed as students enter the building each day. Shield Testing resumes on Tuesday for those families who opted in on this consent form and email it to SHIELD@ccsd15.net.
As much as the new year brings new excitement to the building, now more than ever, it's important that we keep our school safe and healthy. If your child is not feeling well, we understand and look forward to their return when they are healthy and ready to learn.
Mask Reminder for Students Coming Back after Isolation/Quarantining
Staffing Update
5Essentials Survey
Please take some time and take the 5Esssentials survey. Feedback will be used for future planning for Lincoln School! We need your feedback. Thank you!
Survey open through March 11.
Details:
You have been invited to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey. The information you provide will help guide improvement as we strive to inspire each student to realize their potential. Your participation in this survey is voluntary but crucial. We can’t receive results from the survey unless at least 20 percent of parents respond. The more responses parents provide, the more we will know how to focus our efforts toward the improvements you want. Therefore, we have set a goal to reach an 80 percent response rate. Please help us reach our goal by completing the survey.
· Go to: https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois to take the survey.
· Select “Parent Survey.”
· You may enter your email address if you would like to receive confirmation of your submission, but it is not required.
· Then enter “Cook” into the county field and “Lincoln” to find our school.
You will then be asked a series of questions to provide input regarding your family’s experience here at Lincoln. Please remember to click “submit” once you are done so your responses can be counted.
Please know that your identity and responses will be kept confidential and will not be connected
with your child. If you have multiple children who attend Lincoln, you may complete one survey for each child. However, only one parent per household may submit a survey for a given child. The survey closes on March 11, so please submit your responses soon!
Thank you in advance for your time and input. We appreciate you!
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact 5Essentials Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.

Access Testing

Not Feeling Well?
If you wish to enroll your student in our weekly SHIELD testing, please use THIS FORM to provide your consent. Our testing day is Monday and Tuesday (AM Kindy) and results are typically back fairly quickly. SHIELD is a PCR saliva test.
Classroom Expectations Revisited
When we return from any break, it is vital that building and classroom expectations are revisited with students. This allows us to proactively approach behavior and refresh expectations with students.
During the first week back from winter break, every school in the district will be engaging in Whole-School Expectations revisits and Station Rotations. Teachers will also utilize the first weeks back from break to revisit classroom expectations.
Creating a safe and conducive learning environment, as well as being responsive to our students’ needs, is a priority. When classrooms run smoothly, instructional time is maximized and that is in everyone's best interest.
