Principal's Message
Dear Lincoln Families,
I have always been a fan of the new year. The new year signals a fresh start, new opportunities and casting a vision for what we want to accomplish in 2022. It is hard to believe January 2022 is coming to an end. The surge of Omicron has brought on many challenges. I am grateful to our school community for continuing to show up, pivot and support where needed. It appears the Omicron wave is receding and my hope is that we are able to focus on restoring on campus events, celebrations and field trips.
Today, February 1st begins the celebration of Black History Month. We are delighted to partner again with the Gateway Educational Foundation to host a student led event called Passing the Torch: From Selma to Today. This event will feature our African American student leaders, current Mayor of Selma, Alabama - Mr. James Perkins and several other local leaders to be announced. This event will take place on February 22, 2022. Details forthcoming.
I would also like to wish everyone celebrating a Happy Year or the Tiger!
I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new students and their families who joined our Hornet Family at the start of the Second Semester. Please click on the attachment to see our calendar for the 2021 - 2021 School Year and Bell Schedule. 2021 - 2022 Calendar & Bell Schedule (English & Spanish)
Please join us for Coffee with the Admin Team this Friday, February 4 from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. on Zoom. We have partnered with the Parent Institute for Quality Education who have been running a series for Parents on social-emotional learning. https://sandiegounified.zoom.us/j/88450408812
Go Hornets!
L6 - Saturday School
"L6" Lincoln 6th Day of School (also known as Saturday School) is an additional instructional day offering academic support in various core subject areas to help students reach their academic goals. L6 program is designed based on the need of the school community and students registered to attend. L6 provides instruction for a minimum of four (4) hours 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM and must conform to the regular minimum school day requirements. A nutritious meal provided by SDUSD’s Food Services Department will be offered to all participating students during the instructional day.
Currently L6 will be offering Math and English support for those students that need extra help. In the near future, we will be implementing additional core subject curriculum, including
but not limited to physical education, arts, music, theatre, online learning, robotics, technology, etc. to help support specific student needs.
Students attending may make up all day school absents and class tardies, while participating in the L6 instructional day.
L6 participation is made available to all students on a voluntary
basis and is funded by sites recovering Average Daily Attendance (ADA) for
full day absences.
Students must enroll to participate by the Thursday prior to the next L6 session. Students can enroll ----->HERE<----- or scan the QR code above.
