Lincoln High School
January 15, 2024
Greetings, Lincoln Students and Families.
This Friday marks the last day of quarter two. Please prioritize time to review your student’s grades and attendance in PowerSchool this weekend. We would like everyone to encourage our Hornets to finish strong. The grades from this marking period will be permanent on student transcripts. Please reach out directly to your student’s teachers if you have any questions or concerns.
In preparation for our 2024-25 budget development, we are requesting your input regarding the needs of our site that will help inform how we can best allocate resources to meet the needs of our students and community. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey and let us know your thoughts. We will use the information from this needs assessment to develop budgets and strategies for the 2024-25 school year. The School Site Council will review priorities to determine the final distribution of Title I funds.
Your time and input are appreciated as we consider our budgeting priorities for the 2024-25 school year.
