A Note From The Nursing Team...

Parents,

As the year is coming to an end please remember to pick up any medications your child might still have at school. Medications need to be picked up by a parent from room 103 no later than 3:45 on Thursday June 9th unless other arrangements were previously arranged with the nursing team.

Thank you for your understanding,

The Lincoln Nursing Team

VIRTUAL CAREER EXPERIENCE allows students to hear the backstory of one of Inspire’s many career mentors.

Students can listen in from a virtual platform and ask questions using the chat.
It’s a great way to hear how one person pursued a career that interests YOU!

An ON-SITE CAREER EXPERIENCE is a shadowing opportunity in a group setting.

Inspire employers welcome a group of students to tour and learn more about the company and break off with career mentors to have one on one or small group conversations about the opportunities available within the company.
You’ll be amazed by the great employers in your very OWN COMMUNITY!

It is a way of showing respect, compassion, understanding, and partnership. With our Ridiculously Nice approach, we have cultivated an environment that radiates positivity and a culture that is one of a kind!

Standards-based learning (SBL) (process for the student) refers to the method of how a student receives information within a class, tasks completed for grading, continuous opportunity to show improvement in understanding to master the priority standard. Priority standards are pre-determined by the teacher, district, and/or state as to what concepts and skills are essential for the student to learn in the class. Students will find SBL more relevant because they can identify the skill or information that is required and the teacher will be able to link the standard to the lesson. Students will have more buy-in, understanding and ownership of their learning in a SBL environment because the curriculum becomes more individualized based on the abilities of each student.

As we continue our journey in Standards Based Learning, we'd like to keep all stakeholders informed of any updates around our grading and assessment practices. Please take a moment to watch the video linked below, which provides an explanation around some minor "tweaks" to our grading scale for Semester 2.
