Weather Reminder
Please have your child dress for the weather conditions. Proper clothing includes a warm coat, mittens, and a cap or hat. During snowy weather, students should also wear boots and snow pants. Students go outside daily so they need to be ready for changing weather conditions.
PLEASE HELP YOUR CHILD REMEMBER TO PACK THEIR GYM SHOES IF WEARING BOOTS SO THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN GYM CLASS.
Lincoln's Health and Safety Plan
The ND DOH recently updated their Covid-19 Childcare & School Attendance Guidance. This document is an excellent resource for identifying signs of infectious illness. You are the expert when it comes to your child, and we appreciate your assistance in working with us to keep our schools safe and open.

Quality of Sleep
"Quality of sleep" is a determining factor in how well a child can learn and engage with others? Especially for students who struggle with inattention or excessive activity, getting enough sleep could be truly life-changing.
This handy chart may help!
Parent Communication
Communication between home and school bears great importance so we ask that you please join us on the Seesaw Family App and keep watch for emails.
Messages are available on both mobile and desktop.
SEESAW allows students and teachers to communicate with parents in real-time and allows parents the flexibility to see what is going on in the classroom on their time.
We look forward to staying connected and nurturing our relationships throughout the year.
DPS Pantry
The Dickinson Public Schools food pantry and clothing closet offers food, clothing for all ages, winter gear, pet food and more. The pantry/closet is available to any family with a child in Dickinson Public Schools. You must have a child enrolled in DPS in order to utilize the pantry.
Open Hours:

Dickinson Backpack Program
The Dickinson Backpack Program is a food program that provides school-age children with easy to prepare food on weekends and during school breaks. This program is meant to assist families who may be struggling financially with providing their children enough food.
If you believe your child could benefit from this program, please stop by the school office for a permission form for your child to receive this donation.
Safety Drills
Keeping our schools safe is our #1 priority. We will be working with students to practice fire drills, tornado drills, and safety lock-down drills. We do this as a measure of practicing safe routines in the event of an emergency.
Sometimes these drills can be unsettling for students so please reassure your child(ren)that practicing is important.
LLPT (Lincoln Lion Parent Team)
Our next LLPT meeting will be on November 18, via Zoom at noon. Please call the office if you are interested in joining. All parents are welcome. Hope to see you there!!
