School Mission Statement

Congratulations on Your Retirement, Mrs. Ayala! We'll Miss You!
We wish you and Mr. Ayala years of fun, adventure, and relaxation in your retirement!
Principal's Office
Here is our final Roadrunner Weekly for this 2019-20 school year. It has been a unique year to say the least, and from our entire staff to you, "Thank you for all of your amazing support!" As we do every year, we have created a parent survey that we would like you to complete that gives us valuable information on what we are doing well, and how we can continue to improve what we are offering our kids and community. With the strange way this year has ended and questions still remaining about how school will open, your feedback is more important than ever!
We also want to say some sad goodbyes to some amazing people. As noted above, Mrs. Ayala is leaving to join her husband, Mr. Ayala, in a well-earned retirement. Mrs. Sanchez-Okusako and her SDC pre-school program are also leaving as they are relocating to Leaman Elementary School. And finally, we want to wish a fond farewell to our 5th grade students as they move on to middle school. See below for a 5th grade slideshow put together by Mrs. Swesey! You all will be greatly missed!
Continue to stay healthy and safe, and remember to feel free to email your teachers and myself directly if you have any further questions or need support or help in any way! Until you hear from me again later in the summer, please continue to keep your students mentally and physically active. iReady will continue to be available as well as many of the other websites you have had access to during our closure period. As always, however, the best and simplest thing you can have your kids doing is reading for pleasure and getting outside to play!
Have a great summer!

Updates from Mr. Leaman - Superintendent
Here is the update for Friday, June 5, 2020.
That Hasn’t Happened Before
Friday was the official last day of school for us. We should be getting ready for a large graduation at Lincoln High School tonight, but we can’t. As we reflect on the year, we have had quite a few “that has never happened before” moments. Our seniors lost many of their usual activities celebrating their years with us, and many were added to show the community’s appreciation. We are having a virtual graduation next Friday – that hasn’t happened before. Last fall was the beginning of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) and we had to close some schools – that has never happened before. We have a worldwide pandemic, all teachers are teaching remotely, and parents have been pressed into educational service with their children – that hasn’t happened before. We are looking at multiple years of deep cuts to the budget – that hasn’t happened as bad as this before. There really are too many to list. I am capturing these because I want you to know our goal is to somehow make sense of these situations and compete our mission to educate our youth. The situation I described, and probably new ones, will not stop us from planning and delivering the best we can with what is available to us. Thank you for your partnership this year – our parents and community have been amazing. “ Our character is defined not in good times, but in hard times” wrote Paul Brodie. The greater Lincoln community and parents have shown amazing character this year.
Budget
Our budget keeps evolving. We are waiting for the State budget to be adopted as we discuss different scenarios with our associations in the coming weeks. The budget will go to our Board on June 25, 2020!
New Student Registration
All students currently enrolled in WPUSD will roll forward and be enrolled for the 2020-2021 school year. Students new to our district (for any grade) can enroll for the current school year or the 2020-2021 school year remotely via our website. The link below will take you where you need to go to register and provide you information on how to complete the process. If you have any questions, you can contact your child's homeschool on Thursdays between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.
