Lincoln's Weekly Bulletin

08.16.2024

Dear Lincoln Families,

Thank you for an AMAZING first two days of school. We had an action packed two days on campus with students attending their new classes with their new teachers. We saw students helping each other find their classes, asking great questions, showing kindness to each other, and bringing a positive energy to campus! We are so proud of you and can't wait to have a great school year together.

On Monday August 19th, students will have an opportunity to visit their new Advisory class and meet their advisor. On each student's schedule, "Period 5" is designated as their Advisory period.

This year, minimum days will take place on Wednesday, with school beginning at 8:15am and ending at 2:00pm. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, school begins at 8:15am and ends at 3:00pm.

As a friendly reminder, cell phones must be "off and away during the day", meaning all student cell phones must be placed in backpacks and turned on silent as soon as they are on campus.

Thank you Panthers for starting off this school year with confidence, kindness and a great attitude! We cannot wait to see you on Monday!

As always, if you have any questions, please contact our office at 760-901-8900 or visit our school's website for more information.

Thank you,

Your Lincoln Staff

New Cell Phone Policy

To create a focused learning environment and support student mental health, Oceanside Unified School District will now require all student cell phones to be off and stowed in backpacks upon entering campus and remain off until leaving. Exceptions are made for students with IEPs or 504 plans if specified for medical or anxiety-related needs, as determined by site administration.

Classrooms have landlines for students to contact parents if needed, and students will have access to their phones during emergencies. The policy aims to reduce distractions, enhance engagement, and prevent cyberbullying, while also reducing the risk of phone theft or loss. Support and disciplinary actions for policy violations could include warnings, phone calls home, and phone confiscations, with increasing consequences for repeated offenses.

OUSD is committed to student safety and mental health, fostering academic and emotional growth. For more details, refer to OUSD’s 2024-2025 Handbook. Board Policy 5131.8 and California Education Code 48901.5.
