Weekly update
Winter Has Arrived
I want to thank all parents for a safe drop off this week. Ms. Lopez does a tremendous job clearing and salting the sidewalks to ensure pedestrian traffic can safely make their way into the building. Please make sure that your kids are not picking up or kicking plowed snow on to the cleared walkways. Student safety is the number one priority and I appreciate the measures taken by our custodial staff, parents, and students to minimize accidents and start the day off the right way!
As a reminder, we continue to go out for recess. We ask for your help making sure the students are properly dressed for the upcoming colder and snowy weather and have boots, and snow pants to play in the snow along with hats and gloves. Below is a previous message from our secretary Mrs. Eageny.
Recess: Indoors or Outdoors??
Please have your child come to school with the appropriate outside gear for outdoor recess every day. The decision to have recess indoors or outdoors is usually decided at 11:30 am each day. Children will go outside each day that the wind chill is above 0 degrees.
Lincoln recess rules for snow:
· Snow boots need to be worn in order to walk in the snow.
· Snow pants and snow boots need to be worn in order to play in the snow.
· All winter items need to be worn that came with your child to school that day (hats, gloves, scarf, etc.).
I look forward to a productive 4 day week of school next week. January is a great month for learning, as students and teachers are eager to engage in meaningful learning experiences. I can assure you the Lincoln staff is excited to build on the momentum that was generated over the past two weeks.
Below I have included information for the 5essentials survey. We currently only received less than 20 respondents for Lincoln School. Please take the time to complete this survey it provides valuable information to help guide us in the future.
