From the Health Office for all Kindergarten and 2nd Grade Parents:
A friendly reminder to all kindergarten and 2nd grade parents: your student is required to have a proof of dental exam on file in the health office. Dental exam forms are due by May 15, 2018. Forms can be found on the district website under Health Services or in the Lincoln health office.
The DuPage County Health Department will bring their Dental Clinic to Lincoln on Monday, April 2. All students are eligible to attend the clinic which will occur during the school day. This is a great opportunity to get a dental exam completed for your student. Please find attached information letter and permission form below.

Join the District 200 Shares Foodie 5K Team!
Calling all Lincoln families! Did you know that 30% of students in our school district are at risk of missing a meal every day? Did you also know that the district works with Northern Illinois Food Bank to host monthly mobile pantries right at our schools to make sure this doesn’t happen – we’ve hosted a number through Lincoln! You can help! Join the D200 Shares Foodie 5K Team and walk or run on April 7 at Cantigny in Winfield. Costs to join are minimal to participate, and you can encourage your children, friends, family to raise funds to solve hunger right here in Wheaton. There will also be 11 amazing food trucks and a festive “celebration” area at the end to round out a fantastic morning. The best part about being a part of the D200 Shares team is that all funds raised by signing up or fundraising stay right here in Wheaton. More details are in the link, or you can reach out to Jennifer Nau, one of our parents that works for the Food Bank, at jnau@northernilfoodbank.org with questions – she’ll be onsite the day of the event! If a group gets together, we encourage you to wear Lincoln gear!
