Happy Fall
Happy November Lincoln Landsharks!
It was wonderful seeing so many families at our 2nd Annual Spooky NIght! What a great event to come out and enjoy the evening together. A HUGE "Thank You" goes out to all of the staff and PTO that volunteered to make this happen. Additionally, our Senior Custodian Joe, that brought and set up all the animatronics with the help of our night crew Mike and Freddy for all of their help and and participation too. It certainly takes a village to make events like this happen. We are so fortunate at the Lincoln!
November is a super quick month. We have NO SCHOOL on Tuesday, November 8th-Primary election day and NO SCHOOL on Friday November 11th for Veteran's Day. Thanksgiving break follows with an Early Release of 11:10 on Wednesday November 23rd, with NO SCHOOL the 24th and 25th. School resumes on MOnday November 28th.
We realize that phone numbers change and moves do happen throughout the year. Please be sure to keep the office and/or the classroom teacher teacher up to date on any of these changes so that we can remain in contact. Additionally, to keep our students safe it is important that anyone dismissing a student MUST be listed on the Purple EMERGENCY FORM. Please be sure that they also have an ID with them, for verification. Thank you for your help with this. If you are changing HOW your students gets home please send a NOTE in with your child in the morning to avoid any confusion.
If you have not yet, please be sure to get connected with your classroom teachers through the use of the REMIND app. The teachers should have already sent you a code to accept. We use this communication app, for classroom and school happenings as well as direct teacher-family communication. Our school website is filled with useful information and is always kept up to date, as is the information we also post on Facebook, and Twitter, so please be sure to follow us!
Together in Education,

Transportation - Bussing Information and Contacts
Busses are the first out of the building. Please understand that the times listed on the bus passes, are approximate. Please allow yourself 10 minutes before and after the time listed, for any traffic delays.
ALL STUDENTS that ride a BUS in KINDERGARTEN and GRADE 1, have had laminated BUS tags attached to their backpacks. The information includes, their actual bus pass, the students Bus #, name and their homeroom. This is one additional step to assist the bus drivers in recognizing the youngest students, while assuring the students have the pertinent information available. Please DO NOT REMOVE these tags. Some students are very shy or have languages that make being able to communicate their information difficult, this aids in removing the barrier to keep our students safe. Thank you for your help with this.
In addition, the #'s on the outside of the busses, may NOT always match the actual bus number of your child. Students that are NOT picked up at their bus stop are NOT returned to the Lincoln. ALL STUDENTS that have not been picked up at their stops, are brought to the MOODY SCHOOL, located at 158 Rogers Street.
Below is the Transportation link for any additional information you may require.
HEALTH - SAFETY - MEDICATION
Any students who have emergency medications (Epi-Pens, inhalers, etc.) or who will receive medication in school MUST have a medication order from the prescribing physician AND a completed consent form from the City Health Department. Forms and medication can be dropped off to the school nurse on the first day of school. The school nurse cannot administer ANY medications without a physician's order, including over-the-counter medications. Please make sure that the school nurse is provided refills in advance of any medication supply running out.
Please also be sure that the nurse has updated vaccination records. In addition, any absence related to a doctor appointment- please be sure to get a Dr. note, so that we may document it as an excused absence.
