The MISD Education Foundation is passionate about giving back to our school district through innovative & creative grants and funding programs and tools to give our students a competitive advantage. In January, the MISDEF was able to award over $64,000 back to our teachers through Educator Grants.

You are invited to join the MISD Education Foundation at their largest fundraiser of the year, the Spring Soiree, presented by Pogue Construction. This year, the event will be held at The Luminaire on Friday, April 21, 2023 from 6pm-10:30pm and the theme is “Tropical Nights!” - Casual dress, hula skirts and Hawaiian shirts encouraged.

The Education Foundation hopes you will make plans to attend - you can purchase your tickets or reserved table here!

If you know a family or local business that would like to support the work of the MISD Education Foundation, please share the link with them to offer the opportunity for sponsorship.

If you have any questions about ticket purchases, sponsorships and supporting the Education Foundation's efforts through the Spring Soiree, please contact Tiffany Ortiz at tiffany@montgomeryisdef.org.

Please answer the 1-question survey below to give input on your preferred method of parent communication.

One of our campus goals is to build more parent involvement on our campus. As parents, you know your child best. We want to partner with you to consistently make our school better. Below are several opportunities where you can be involved or provide feedback.

• WatchDOGS - Click this link for more information, the program presentation from the district, the background form, and the registration form.
  
• Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) - Our PTO is an organization of parents that works to support our students and staff in a variety of ways. They recently purchased some toys and games that students can play with the weather inhibits their ability to play outside. They also bring in special programs and activities for our students and find ways to show appreciation to our staff. We encourage all families to join. For more information, you can contact our PTO at mylespto@gmail.com. You can also find them on Facebook (@myLESPTO).
• Parent Feedback Form - Any time you want to share your thoughts, you can email, call, or make an appointment to visit. Another way you can provide input is to simply complete our parent feedback form at any time. Your responses are anonymous unless you choose to include your name and/or contact information.

Each week, we want to provide you with an overview of our Lincoln statistics and where we are as a campus. We will share information about enrollment, student behaviors, and attendance. Additionally, as we have celebrations to share regarding our students' academic successes, we'll list them here too.

Lunch visitors who are on a child's emergency contact list are welcome to eat with that child on the stage during the student's lunch period. Visitors will need to check in at the front office with their ID and get a visitor badge. Please do not invite other students to join you or provide food or snacks for other students. When lunch is over, all students will line up with their class. Visitors will return to the front office to turn in their visitor badge.

A friendly reminder, we do not have an open lunch policy so please do not order food for your child from outside vendors to be delivered to the school during the school day (i.e. Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Door Dash, or any kind of delivery service). This becomes a safety concern when staff need to leave the front office to deliver food to students or take their focus off of families who have business in the office. Food deliveries also increase the number of unfamiliar people entering the building. Additionally, our lunch times are very tight and do not allow for late deliveries. We cannot allow for learning to be disrupted by early or late food deliveries. Thank you for understanding our focus on safety and uninterrupted instructional time.

Lunch TImes:

• Pre-K - 10:40-11:10
• Kindergarten - 11:15-11:45
• 1st Grade - 10:45-11:15
• 2nd Grade - 12:15-12:45
• 3rd Grade - 11:35-12:05
• 4th Grade - 11:55-12:25
• 5th Grade - 12:35-1:05

School Hours:

• Doors open at 7:50
• Tardy bell rings, and class begins at 8:15. (This is the time students are expected to be in their seats in the classroom.)
• School day ends at 3:40

We are working hard to maximize each and every minute our students are here. Students who arrive after 8:15 are considered tardy and will need to be walked into the front door of the building and signed in by a parent or guardian. If your child needs to leave early, they may be checked out through the front office by a parent or guardian.

Changes in transportation need to be made prior to 2:00 in order to allow time for the messages to be communicated with the appropriate staff member. To request a change of transportation, either

1. Send a note with your child,
2. Email LincolnElementaryTransit@misd.org with the note and a copy of your driver's license, or
3. Come to the school with a copy of your driver's license.

Lincoln Elementary is a Pre-K through 5th grade campus in Montgomery ISD that opened in the fall of 2018. We are dedicated to collaboration that focuses on ensuring high levels of learning for every student, every day, in a safe and supportive environment.
