Principal's Notes and Highlights
- The school purchased 60 Bintiva balance discs that were distributed to classrooms for students. You may have seen a few Hokki stools in classrooms. This is another option of flexible seating that still provides students the ability to wiggle in their seat without falling over. Students are loving them and once our budget rolls over in January, we may look at purchasing more.
- The PTO is still looking for a few volunteers to help cover morning gym duty for teachers next Tuesday, December 20th. As part of teacher appreciation, they cover morning duty (7:30-7:45 a.m.) so that teachers can eat breakfast that is provided by the PTO. We are looking for 3 wonderful helpers to work in the gym until the teachers come to pick up their students. If interested in working in the gym or helping out in other ways, please sign up here.
- Please read the note about the upcoming EBL playoffs and Super Saturday schedule. Mr. Shipley will be needing parent volunteers to work a shift during Super Saturday in the concession stand. Each school must have 10 volunteers help out. If interested, please contact Mr. Shipley.
- The school grades were published in The Republic newspaper earlier this week. On the A-F model, CSA Lincoln scored an "A" for last year!
Have a great weekend!

From the Nurse's desk:
Illness: Students experiencing illnesses at school should notify the teacher. The student is then assessed by the nurse. If the student is too ill to remain in the classroom, the parent/guardian is called and expected to arrange for the child’s care.
Criteria for sending a student home or when to keep the student at home:
• Temperature of 100 degrees or more • Vomiting and/or diarrhea
• Inflamed eye with drainage • Severe pain
• Persistent cough • Open, draining sores
Return to school when fever free for 24 hours without medication or when vomiting/diarrhea has stopped. A student that develops reddened eyes with thick, yellow drainage may return after being seen by a physician and may return when eyes are clear after 24 hours with a note from the physician.
If your child is diagnosed with strep throat, staph infection, mono, conjunctivitis, fifth's disease, chicken pox or any other communicable condition, please report this to the school nurse as soon as possible.
