Weekly Buzz

Greetings, Lincoln Families.

Last week, our freshmen began exploring the three college and career pathways available to them starting in the 10th grade: Media Arts and Entertainment, Health Sciences, and Engineering Design and Development. They completed interest assessments in Xello, which helps identify potential college and career paths based on their preferences. Our goal is to ensure that students make informed decisions about which Small School best aligns with their interests and personalities. Ninth-grade parents and caregivers are invited to attend our Small School meeting this Wednesday. Please see the flier below for more information.

Halloween is on Thursday, October 31. Students are allowed to wear a costume to school and must adhere to the following guidelines. Students will be required to take off their costume if it violates the school dress code or the Halloween costume guidelines and change into another outfit. If you are in doubt about your costume, show a photo to any administrator before Halloween to seek approval.

The information is collected to support Federal Impact Aid funding and is kept confidential. Impact Aid funds are designated to assist school districts that enroll federally-connected students. This includes children of active duty uniformed services personnel, children who live on federal property or in subsidized federal housing, and children whose parents are employed on eligible federal property.

Impact Aid funds become part of the district's general operating budget and support instructional activities for all students.

At your next opportunity, we ask you to please sign-in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal and complete the short survey, following the steps below:

• Select Forms from the left-hand navigation menu, then select 2024-25 Impact Aid Program Survey Form under Annual Forms.

• Follow the prompts and submit the form. Please be sure a confirmation appears before logging off.

• If you need assistance, or do not yet have a Parent Portal account, please contact Vella Rogers at erogers1@sandi.net. Visit our support website for more information.

• For parents using the PowerSchool mobile app, you can submit the survey using the app.

We ask that you complete the Federal Impact Aid Survey by November 15th. Students will also receive a paper survey to bring home. Families may choose to complete either the electronic or paper survey.

By completing the survey, you will increase the chances of your child’s school receiving more of this valuable funding.
