Lincoln Weekend Update, March 15, 2024
Lincoln Community,
We hope this message finds everyone well!
Thank you for ensuring your students were in school during IAR testing. We very much appreciate your help and support getting students to school on time.
Monday is our first day of the fourth quarter! It's hard to believe we are 75% done with the school year. We are excited to finish out the year strong as there are many great things occurring in the last quarter including two new club opportunities listed below!
We want to give families a friendly reminder that Tuesday, March 19 is a non-attendance day for students. We hope you have a wonderful weekend and a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
In Partnership,
Eric Larson, Laena DiVito, Jason Jonas
