Welcome Back Lincoln Loggers

Welcome Back Lincoln Loggers

I hope you all enjoyed a nice break and were able to spend some time with family over the last few days and disconnect a bit from technology! The weather has been beautiful and I know I was able to hang a few Christmas lights at my home without freezing. It felt good to get outside a bit and just enjoy being with my kids and husband.


We would like to extend a warm welcome to all the new students who have begun at Lincoln over the last couple of weeks. We have new students in-person at Kindergarten, Second, Fourth and Fifth Grades. Please enjoy a warm Lincoln welcome!


At the last board meeting, it was decided that school at the elementary level would take place Monday through Thursday only..similar to what is taking place at the secondary level. NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAYS FOR STUDENTS! Please realize that some teachers MAY offer some opportunities for struggling learners to have some catch-up tutoring sessions on Fridays but these would be pre-arranged by teachers with individual students/families and is NOT a required attendance.


I hope you all have been able to remain healthy of mind and body!


If I can ever be of service, please don't hesitate to call or email me at cwhooleyjepson@wausauschools.org.


Yours in partnership! Mrs. Whooley Jepson (Principal)
