WELCOME BACK!
Lincoln Middle School,
Welcome back to school! I wanted to thank all you for the warm welcome that was received during Get Your Stuff Day! There is so much excitement and energy surrounding our school as we get ready for the start of the year. This school year will be an exciting journey for all of us and I am privileged to help lead us through that journey! Over the summer, our staff and teachers have done a great job, preparing for this school year. We have an amazing staff at Lincoln Middle School and we take a lot of pride in ensuring that we do what's best for your child. We look forward to working with all our families to help meet the needs of ALL our learners.

Stop, Drop, and Go
Be part of the Lincoln Safety Task Force, and please volunteer during 20 minutes one day a week from 8:40 to 9:00 AM (Friday from 9:10-9:30AM).
It’s a short period of time but the BIGGEST contribution you can make towards the safety of our students.
If interested in volunteering, please go to https://lmsptsa.org/ for more info.
For the Safety of the children and volunteers and to keep traffic moving, please follow these reminders:
1. Pull all the way forward when you drop your child off. Do not block the staff parking entrance near the gymnasium.
2. Make sure students have their backpacks & belongings ready to exit when you stop. Drivers must remain in their vehicle at all times. Do not leave your car to open the trunk or help your children with their backpacks.
3. Do not sit and wait: Please help us maintain the flow of traffic and do not sit and wait in your vehicle.
4. Do not double park along the drop-off lane, and make illegal U-turn before/after the drop-off lane.
5. Drop your kids off earlier. There is more congestion ten minutes before school starts.
Please, remember that drop-off in the circular driveway is only for our neurodiverse students who are meeting para educators, students with mobility issues, and the school bus.
