Your Lincoln Staff

OUSD is excited this year to partner with the Cook Center for Human Connection to offer a variety of resources and opportunities to support student and family mental health, including but not limited to:

• Parent Guidance - ParentGuidance.Org offers parents/guardians/caregivers access to courses, on-demand webinars, and additional resources to support their child's mental health and support needs.
• My Life is Worth Living - My Life is Worth Living™ is the first animated series that models the human connection shown to be protective against suicide. The series tells stories of characters who face some of the most difficult issues that young people deal with and shows their evolution in the key decision: that life is worth living.
• Parent Coaching - Parent/Guardian/Caregiver Coaching is exclusively available to OUSD as a partner and parents/guardians/caregivers can sign up for free to meet individually with a coach or therapist and therapist-created content to help you navigate the ups and downs with confidence. (Flyers in English/Spanish are attached)
• Mental Health Series - The attached calendars provide a host of opportunities for parents/guardians/caregivers to jump on a webinar (some are live) at their convenience with topics ranging from "Your Child's Anxiety" to "Establishing Boundaries" and "Body Positivity - Nurturing Self Image".

We have had a strong start to our week and our Lincoln Panthers have shown up at school showing us how engaged, curious and motivated they are!

Yesterday in Advisory, your child learned about all of the important information and people, who will be there to support them in this new school year! Students learned about the ways to be successful in their new grade level, required supplies for their classes, and the contact information for each of their teachers.

Parents and Guardians please review the following grade level brochures, where all of this important information is housed, to best support your child!

6th Grade Brochure

7th Grade Brochure
