Lincoln Middle School -- Weekend Update
Lincoln Community,
I hope this email finds you all well!
As we look ahead to next week I want to spotlight MAP testing which is occurring on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. We have created a modified schedule for each day to prioritize the testing to occur at the same time for everyone, with ample time for students to finish in a single session.
This assessment provides us with important information about how each individual student is performing and growing. It is very important that students are on time and in attendance on these days. A good night's rest and breakfast will go a long way in helping support a good testing environment. As always, we appreciate your support.
Below you will find our adjusted schedule for Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your family!
In Partnership,
Eric Larson, Principal
Lincoln Spring Cabaret
